Pink Lemonade Strain: Lemon Skunk x Purple Kush

By · Published · Updated

Pink Lemonade Strain: Effects, Taste and Lineage
A note from Steven De Guzman

Leafly describes a fruity, mentholated-tea nose with lemon and grapefruit arriving on the exhale, and growers report small buds under a thick trichome coat with bronze pistils. Exhale slowly through the nose to catch that citrus.

What is Pink Lemonade?

Leafly lists Pink Lemonade as a hybrid made by crossing Lemon Skunk with Purple Kush, and Weedmaps shows the same parents. AllBud adds a third, unknown strain, and Weedmaps says the breeder is unknown and the family tree unconfirmed. Leafly and Weedmaps class it as a hybrid, while AllBud calls it indica-dominant at 80% indica; Weedmaps notes that both indica- and sativa-leaning labels circulate.

The name is shared. Weedmaps, which also lists the alias Pink Lemon, describes separate Pink LemonAid lines from Annunaki Genetics (Lemon Cheesecake x Huckleberry Hound) and Mosca Seeds (Lemon G x Pink 2.0), and Leafly notes a Maryland brand selling a Pink Lemonade bred from Strawberry Fields and Sunset Sherbet. The descriptions below refer to the Lemon Skunk x Purple Kush version that Leafly and AllBud profile.

Look, smell and taste

Leafly says growers see small buds coated in trichomes over jade leaves and bronze pistils, while AllBud describes bright, minty green, spade-shaped buds with light orange hairs.

Leafly describes a fruity, mentholated tea smell with lemon and grapefruit on the exhale, and its reviewers most often taste grapefruit, lemon and citrus. AllBud adds sugary fruit, lemon candy and mild earth over a sour, earthy aroma with a hint of berry. Leafly's lab data lists ocimene, a sweet and floral terpene, ahead of pinene and myrcene; our cannabis terpenes guide explains each one.

Effects people report

Sources pull in two directions. Leafly's description calls the effects calming, yet Leafly rates the strain mostly energizing, and its reviewers most often report feeling focused, energetic and creative. AllBud describes an energetic, euphoric start that later winds down into a lazy, dreamy, introspective state, and Weedmaps calls the Lemon Skunk x Purple Kush version upbeat and focusing.

The negatives Leafly reviewers list most are feeling anxious, dry mouth and headaches. Start with a small amount, and do not drive for at least 6 hours after use, as Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines advise.

How strong is Pink Lemonade?

Leafly lists 18% THC and 1% CBG, and AllBud 17% to 22%. Weedmaps gives 18% to 30% across everything sold under the name, or about 17% to 25% for the Lemon Skunk x Purple Kush version. With so many cuts under one name, check the THC and CBD numbers on the label.

Similar strains

Its parents, Lemon Skunk and Purple Kush, appear in every lineage source and on Weedmaps' list of similar strains. Weedmaps also names Chernobyl, Plushberry, Island Sweet Skunk and Lemon Thai Kush. Leafly lists Lumpy Space Princess and The CBG Blend among its offspring.

Buying Pink Lemonade

The menu box on this page shows whether Pink Lemonade is on the GasDank menu right now; if it is not, it lists in-stock hybrid flower instead. GasDank offers same-day delivery across Toronto and the GTA, usually within 1 to 2 hours, and mail order across Canada, which has no minimum and ships free from $150 ($20 below that). Customers must be 19 or older (21 in Quebec), with ID checked. Because several crosses share this name, compare the lineage and lab-tested THC and CBD numbers when you browse hybrid flower.

Leafly and Weedmaps call it a hybrid. AllBud lists it as 80% indica, and Weedmaps notes that both indica- and sativa-leaning labels are used.

Q.Who bred Pink Lemonade?

The original breeder is not known. Weedmaps says the Lemon Skunk x Purple Kush family tree is still unconfirmed.

Q.What does Pink Lemonade taste like?

Mostly lemon and grapefruit, with sweet fruit candy and, in Leafly's description, a mentholated tea note.
