When we first featured True Classic a few years ago, the Los Angeles-based indoor cultivator had built its reputation on one thing and one thing only: cultivating an absolute bullseye cut of OG.
They stood on that strain like people stand on business, with unwavering confidence that they could deliver the best, consistently. They didn’t offer any other cultivars under their brand. Just the one.
At the time, they teased the development of a potential second offering to add to a lineup of modern classics. This time, it would be something from the LCG lineage.
Fast forward to now, and that second strain has been on the market for a minute. We figured it was about time for the Leaf to take a look at the SCG, or Strawberry Cherry Gelato.
A vibrant cross of Lemon Cherry Gelato and Strawberry Fritter, the SCG overlays mouthwateringly tangy notes atop a foundation of sweet, earthy Gelato terps. The dense, trichome-coated buds fill the room with flavor, and the smoke is smooth and sweet like berry pie cooling on the windowsill.
The overall effect is relaxing, creative, a little goofy, and altogether pleasurable. Roll some for a stroll in nature or a hang on your back patio. You might find yourself pontificating about the finer points of the ubiquitous LCG family tree like we did, admiring the folks at True Classic for choosing to offer a hyper-limited array of offerings while so many other talented growers develop and release a massive volume of genetics.
It’s a refreshing, solid approach, and we look forward to seeing what else they decide to release into the world. We’re already excited to try their third modern classic, the Lemon Cherry Runtz, but we’ll save that for another time.
