One disputed origin, two clear ones
Lemon Cherry Gelato is the argument. AllBud, SeedFinder and several dispensary guides give Sunset Sherbet × Girl Scout Cookies, some adding an unknown third parent. Planet 13 lists Lemon Tree × Cherry Gelato. Leafly goes further and suggests it may simply be Gelato bagseed, and Fig Farms, which grows a clone-only Bay Area cut, sums it up as origins debated. AllBud rates it 60% indica.
Permanent Marker has a paper trail. Leafly and the other sources agree on Biscotti × Sherb Bx, crossed with Jealousy; Seed Junky Genetics’ JBeezy bred it and Doja released it. AllBud rates it about 70% indica. Super Boof is Black Cherry Punch × Tropicana Cookies, which Leafly calls a zingy hybrid.
How they’re described
What our listings show
Lemon Cherry Gelato has 7 vapes from 5 brands, and five publish a batch result, from 82.3% to 87.7%. STIIIZY makes it as live resin in both a pod and a 1 g disposable, the latter the top result. Mad Labs sells a 2 g disposable for $25.
Permanent Marker comes two ways, both 2 g disposables: a liquid diamonds pen from MFused that tested at 85.0%, and a live resin pen from Mitten Extracts. The brands label it differently, hybrid and indica.
Super Boof has three listings and the best numbers of the group. Select’s 2 g disposable tested at 89.9%, and Perpetual’s distillate cart at 87.9% costs $19.95, the cheapest of all three strains.
Which to choose
Lemon Cherry Gelato for choice and for live resin. Super Boof for tested strength and price. Permanent Marker if you want the 2023 award winner, in a 2 g pen. Hype strains get searched long before brands catch up with carts, which is why three names with 82,400 monthly searches between them have twelve listings. All three pages sit in our vape pen catalogue.
