Cherry Limepop

Origins and Backstory: Bred by @meangenefrommendocino, Cherry Limepop is a cross of HGAS Cherry and meangene’s now-retired Limepop male. HGAS （High Grade All Stars） Cherry is a Cherry Pie bagseed. He selected to the F2 generation, and gave me some seeds to look through. I have grown a few other Limepop crosses, and this one seems to lean more to the Cherry side of things. While in their current state these have hermaphoraditic tendencies indoors, I did not have that problem. I had a stable indoor female as well as females outside, and these are the best performing outdoor plants I have seen or experienced. The plants were incredibly strong, had great structure, were high-yielding, and the buds look like indoor. While I could personally use some more experience growing plants outside, these strike me as a pinnacle of breeding. I am almost becoming numb to how consistently incredible Freeborn Selections have been. Appearance: These plants grow like bushes but with massive colas, almost from the meristem to the tip of each off-shooting branch. The outsides of each plant are definitively purple and magenta, while closer to the meristem the foliage is a pale-lime green at harvest. It is a really cool effect of seeing the plant in person—they look purple from afar but as you get in close, you can see that at least 50% of the foliage is green. Wild! The flowers themselves are dense, popping with resin, and mostly green with some purple accents. They make for some beautiful and chunky buds in bags, jars, or just about anywhere else. Aroma: Dried buds smell like cherry-infused vodka, and/or a basket of red cherries that have been warmed by sitting in the sun. It is really reminiscent of red cherry skins and alchohol to be exact, while lime and citrus notes are present in the backdrop. I also detect chlorine notes and some bleach, in a similar vein to Cherry Pyromancer. The growing plants have a lot more chemical funk to them, while the dried flower leans more toward fruit. B
