Blackout Lemonaid - hybrid hype

Sometimes you meet someone special… and you just know there is something beyond the everyday with this one.

Well I found her last spring - searching through some f2’s.

The cross was a poly hybrid that I had chucked. I knew something was special after searching through the grandparents a couple seasons ago - so I continued the pursuit.

(Sorbetto x Tux) x Violetta

I had let a few packs escape early on in the work - some of the f2’s I found the ‘Blackout Lemonaid’ pheno I had released under (pink lemonaid) - the mom in the F1’s was a good dumper with loud pink lemonaid terps that came through very strong in the smoke. An absolute unicorn I figured - so I needed to dig deeper.

If you recognize this photo - its because I posted a photo on another public website and it went fairly viral.



Unlike her mother - she had added gas. And potency to boot. Nice and loud gas with undeniable Pink Lemonaid flavour - and it is consistent through the line. The bag appeal isn’t too bad either.

That season I ran a room full of plants many cultivars - many of my own crosses - the only quality keepers were in the BOLA (blackout Lemonaid) and there were several out of 12 plants that stood out of a very full room:

Here is her sister - I made f3 beans with her - but she did not reveg successfully:


But the choicest pheno did reveg for me nicely and I reared her outside through the summer.


I hold her as a bonsai now - setting up to do a full room flower only run - because she’s absolutely gas. In the days of HPS and word of mouth transactions - legends were created when bags were sought after. Well I’m almost certain she’s something that could become bigger than just a plant in my closet.

But this isn’t why I’m starting an entire thread - this is instead a learning journey through its lineage.

Running various stages of it’s family tree now - have about 30 plants. Seeds from the original F1’s a few different variations. I will get into introducing each group of plants as they grow - they are currently just a bunch of seedlings right now.

This does sound very interesting. The flower structure on that first photo is incredible, really beautiful. You have some amazing plants there my friend. I love to see them and learn about them too. Thank you for sharing with us all.

@PsillyRabbit cuts… would be a good backup - at this time I’m holding her close. I may pass her around in the near future.

Hadn’t really thought about selfing her - at least not yet. Am rolling out with a bit of a plan now. I can share some deets - I’ll try to keep it streamlined for readability.

I think Id reverse her but use him/her on her own progeny - which I’m working thoroughly now.

Late summer, in the swamp, I popped ten f3 plants created with the purple mother in the photo above, we will call her ‘Lost BOLO’ . I popped these with the intention to find a male and make seeds with the keeper pheno, let’s call her A1 BOLO. When I first ran A1 beside her 11 sisters - I only dabbed the most colorful plants with pollen… So I skipped the A1 BOLO… it set me behind a bit for a BX. I didn’t realize shed come a swinging by late flower.

But, to my benefit Ill be setting up for a BX using a f3 male from my second favorite f2 , the ‘Lost BOLO’. Here are the two males about to hit the flower room - one short one tall - left in small pots.


The f3 sisters who showed up as ladies… well they are all growing very similar - been in the flower room about a week. 7 remain - Hoping to get a good feel for this lot - and will likely dab a few of them as well. But I will likely just let them flower unbothered. Here they are.


In the red bin you can see two cuttings of A1 that will run for seed - the males pictured above will leave the veg room in a few days and begin flower to catch up to these cuttings. That seed will be used to hunt the next male to do it again.

Beside this - I’m setting up to run one 5 x 5 with twelve A1 BOLO - why is this significant? Reason being I have not done a flower only run since 2003/2004. I never looked back at running lbs once I started chucking pollen as a past time. Times change. But like I said - this one - she’s special and I’ll take the time to work her a bit here and see what doors she’ wants to open.

@Goyum - took a peek at that Pink Lemonaid by M (@splinter7 this is the one you tried? I’ve only ever shared BOLA flower with 2 individuals)-- other than the name - seems it’s got a very different background. pink 2.0 and Lemon G a clone only. pink 2.0 has a bunch of alien genetics and Tahoe OG as a back bone. Sounds like a banger - but not close relative to this ‘Blackout Lemonade’

Tracked down some photos for Blackout Lemonaids family tree.

We will start with my personal favorite contributor a cross created by aficionado estates - I recieved one S1 seeds years ago from this plant of Sorbetto -


She was grown by an acquaintance.

That one seed I grew out and selfed. Up until recently I had a few seeds still left - I tried cracking them with this family tree run… but they did not pop. I will give a break down of the plants I’m running related to the project soon. They are still small seedlings.

Tux is a cross made by @lefthandseeds - I’m sure if he reads this he will have a good chuckle… because he warned me about this line when he gifted me some seeds. Intersex traits may rear their heads. The plants I had the pleasure of running and crossing did not give me these traits - I have seen it in outcrosses.

Here she is in all her glory - this photo and plant is by lefthand - Black Lebanese x Black Afghan

These are the two cultivars I paired a couple years back which I have since brought to f3 - I have two irriterations of the f2 generation - one made outside and one made indoors - all these generations of seedlings are going now.

Idk. It was sold as pink lemonade and smelled like pink lemonade. it wasn’t purple iirc. it was a sativa leaning hybrid high. It was just a couple weeks ago too when i picked up a few grams to try. maybe a good chanced two or more strains are named that.

Yes that’s exactly right - way too many Pink Lemonaids - this is why I changed the name from Pink Lemonaid to Blackout Lemonaid .

Up until coining ‘blackout Lemonaid’ this spring, I wasn’t naming strains - most work the last five years have been titled and labeled with their contributing parents - this season I knew more peeps would be growing out the seeds made - so I’ve had some fun with giving them titles. With all the Pink Lemonaids out there - it was necessary to differentiate with ‘Blackout Lemonaid’ - fitting for its potency in the same stride.

The f2’s I was handing out - I had wrote the cross (Sorbetto x Tux) x Violetta, as well as ‘pink Lemonaid’ in quotations - I may have even wrote ‘pink Lemonaid terps’. when I did take this line more seriously - I needed a name. I never did think I would be pursuing it as far as I had - and that’ I blame 100% on the plants that have introduced themselves to me in this line.

Here is the Sorbetto X Tux


Early :point_up:

Before chop

Edit : here is the Violetta Male I had kept around and revegged for a few crosses over 2 seasons.

The Sorb Tux was some real potent smoke.

These are the parents that would lead to finding my A1 Blackout Lemonaid.
