Critical Lemon Kush
Also known as: Critical Lemon, Lemon Critical Kush
Critical Lemon Kush Strain Overview
Critical Lemon Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two well-established parent strains to create a unique aromatic and effect profile. The strain was developed by crossing Critical Kush with a lemon-scented phenotype, though the exact lemon parent varies depending on the breeder. This combination results in a plant that inherits the robust structure and potency of Critical Kush while incorporating the distinctive citrus characteristics of its lemon parent. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients for its balanced effects and pronounced flavor profile.
Visually, Critical Lemon Kush typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often medium to large in size with a conical shape, featuring a vibrant green color accented by orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating their potency. The strain's most notable characteristic is its strong lemon aroma, which is immediately apparent upon opening a container, often accompanied by earthy and herbal undertones.
Critical Lemon Kush is known for its relatively fast flowering time and good resistance to common molds and pests, making it a suitable choice for growers of various experience levels. The strain has become increasingly available in legal markets and through seed banks, though its exact genetic lineage may vary slightly between different breeders' versions. As with many hybrid strains, individual phenotypes can display variations in effect balance, with some leaning more toward indica relaxation and others offering more sativa-like cerebral stimulation.

Critical Lemon Kush Strain Growing Information
Critical Lemon Kush is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Plants usually reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include providing good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding during flowering.
