Lemon Tree is a legendary marijuana strain, famous for winning first place in the Best Hybrid category at the Seattle Cannabis Cup in 2014. This strain is the result of the masterful cross between Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel, two true powerhouses. Thanks to this lineage that combines the best of indicas and sativas, it offers a unique and versatile experience for any grower.
Lemon Tree grows with a robust and compact structure, but don’t be fooled by its appearance. This beauty can reach an average height of 6.5-8 feet outdoors, developing a typical Christmas tree shape with long branches that shorten towards the top, culminating in an impressive apical cola.
The buds are large and surprisingly hard, covered with a thick layer of trichomes that give them a shiny, crystalline appearance, as if they were dusted with diamond powder. Additionally, its sticky resin is perfect for extraction lovers.
Flavor and Effects
Lemon Tree is a true delight for the senses. Opening a jar of its buds greets you with a citrus explosion that awakens the senses. The fresh and vibrant lemon aroma blends with subtle diesel notes inherited from its Sour Diesel lineage, creating an aromatic profile that is both refreshing and stimulating. This aroma perfectly translates into its flavor, offering a unique taste experience: a delicious blend of citrus with a spicy and earthy touch that lingers on the palate.
As for the effects, it is known for its potency, thanks to its THC levels that range between 20% and 25%. Upon consumption, you’ll feel an initial wave of cerebral euphoria that energizes and lifts the mood. This sativa phase is followed by a smooth but intense body relaxation, a result of its indica heritage, leaving you in a state of lasting happiness and tranquility. The effects are so balanced that they are ideal for both day and night use.
With a low CBD content, below 1%, Lemon Tree focuses on offering a potent and euphoric experience, ideal for those seeking relief from stress, anxiety, and fatigue without strong sedative effects.
Terpenes in Lemon Tree
Lemon Tree is rich in a variety of terpenes that not only contribute to its flavor and aroma profile but also enhance its therapeutic effects. Among the most prominent are:
- Limonene: The predominant terpene in Lemon Tree. This compound provides the characteristic lemon citrus aroma and is known for its mood-enhancing and anti-anxiety effects.
- Caryophyllene: With a spicy and clove-like aroma, this terpene is famous for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for those suffering from chronic pain.
- Alpha-pinene: This terpene gives a fresh pine aroma and is known for improving memory and focus, as well as its bronchodilator properties.
- Alpha-humulene: Known for its anti-inflammatory and appetite-suppressing properties, this terpene adds an earthy and slightly spicy note to Lemon Tree‘s profile.
These terpenes work in synergy with Lemon Tree‘s cannabinoids to offer a complete experience that is both delicious and therapeutic, making this strain an exceptional choice for both recreational and medicinal use.
Yield and Flowering Time
Lemon Tree is a gem for growers, both novices and experts, thanks to its ease of cultivation and generous yields. Indoors, this strain adapts to any growing technique, delivering the best results with the SOG (Sea of Green) method. From switching the photoperiod from growth to flowering, it takes about 9-10 weeks to harvest. During this time, you can expect yields ranging from 19 to 23 ounces per square yard, depending on conditions and the grower’s experience.
Outdoors, Lemon Tree shows its full potential. It grows vigorously from day one, reaching an average height of 6.5-8 feet. It prefers climates with dry or lightly rainy early autumns, as it is harvested in mid-October. Under these optimal conditions, achieving 46-53 ounces per plant is not difficult. Its Christmas tree structure allows sunlight to penetrate evenly, promoting the production of massive buds that may need support from mid-flowering to prevent branches from breaking under the weight.
