In the ice cream world, a "Triple Scoop" is an indulgence. In the cannabis world, it is a feat of genetic engineering.
DNA Genetics created this strain to be the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Most hybrids are simple two-way crosses (Mother x Father). Triple Scoop is a three-way collision. They took the electric Sativa energy of Super Silver Lemon Haze, mashed it with the heavy, fruity Indica power of Grape L.A., and smoothed it all out with the creamy texture of their proprietary Sorbet.
The result is a strain that tastes like a fruit salad covered in whipped cream. It is complex, colorful, and potent—a perfect representation of modern "Polychrome" breeding.
History and Lineage: The Three-Way Cross
This lineage is a breakdown of flavor layering.
The Sativa (Super Silver Lemon Haze): A legendary cut known for its soaring, energetic high and sharp citrus/haze aroma. It provides the "Top Note" of the flavor profile and the cerebral spark.
The Indica (Grape L.A.): A cross of Grapefruit x L.A. Confidential. It brings the heavy physical sedation and a distinct sweet grape/berry aroma. It provides the "Body" of the flavor.
The Stabilizer (Sorbet): The DNA Genetics signature. As seen in the rest of the collection, the Sorbet adds vigor, density, and a creamy vanilla finish. It acts as the bowl that holds the other two scoops together.
Terpene Profile: Lemon, Grape, and Cream
Triple Scoop is fascinating because you can often taste the parents individually as you smoke.
Dominant Terpenes
Limonene (The Citrus): Derived from the Super Silver Lemon Haze. It hits the nose first with a sharp, zesty lemon scent.
Myrcene (The Fruit): Derived from the Grape L.A. It provides a heavy, musky grape and dark berry undertone that lingers on the palate.
Linalool (The Cream): The Sorbet influence. It ties the sharp lemon and deep grape together with a smooth, floral vanilla finish.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It smells like a fruit smoothie. You get waves of citrus cleaner, grape soda, and vanilla frosting.
The Smoke: Complex and changing. The inhale is often citrusy and hazy, while the exhale reveals the earthy grape and cream. It is a very rich smoke.
Strain Effects: The Hybrid Sweet Spot
Because it mixes a Haze, an L.A. Indica, and a Hybrid stabilizer, the effects are perfectly centered.
The Experience
The Buzz: The Super Silver Lemon Haze kicks in first. You feel a buzz behind the eyes and a burst of social energy. It is happy and talkative.
The Laughs: This is a "Giggly" strain. It lifts the mood and makes everything seem a bit funnier.
The Settle: After about 30 minutes, the Grape L.A. takes over. A warm relaxation spreads through the body, calming the nerves without putting you to sleep.
The Finish: It leaves you in a state of "Stoned Contentment." You are relaxed enough to watch a movie but awake enough to follow the plot.
Best For: Socializing with friends, creative hobbies, playing video games, mild depression, and daytime stress relief.
Growing Triple Scoop: The Vigorous Bush
Three-way crosses often exhibit "Hybrid Vigor," growing faster and stronger than their parents. Triple Scoop is no exception.
Growth Structure
The Vigor: It grows fast. The Haze genetics drive rapid vertical growth, while the Indica genetics ensure thick stems.
The Yield: High. It is a heavy producer. The buds are large, dense, and coated in resin.
The Time: Despite the Haze influence, the Sorbet and L.A. genetics keep the flowering time short, finishing in 8 to 9 weeks.
The Aroma: It is a smelly plant. The mix of citrus and funk creates a very penetrating odor during flowering.
The Color: It has great bag appeal. Expect to see lime green buds with purple sugar leaves and bright orange hairs.
Grower’s Tip: This strain responds well to topping. Because of the Haze genetics, it wants to shoot up a main stalk. Top it early to force it to bush out, and the Sorbet genetics will ensure that the side branches become thick enough to support massive colas.
Final Verdict: The Neapolitan Hybrid
Triple Scoop is for the smoker who wants it all. It refuses to be just a "Lemon" strain or just a "Grape" strain. It offers a multifaceted terpene profile that keeps your palate guessing, backed by a high that is potent yet functional. It is a triumph of the DNA Genetics Sorbet Collection, proving that you can blend conflicting genetics into a harmonious, delicious whole.
You should choose Triple Scoop if:
You can't decide between Fruit or Gas flavors.
You want a Social/Happy high.
You love Complex Terpene profiles (Lemon + Grape + Cream).
You are a Grower looking for vigorous plants.
