Lemon Bean
Lemon Bean
Also known as: Lemon Bean Strain
Overview
Lemon Bean is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (90% sativa, 10% indica) created through a genetic cross between Lemon Tree and Eddy Lepp. The strain gained recognition in the cannabis community when Cresco Labs' Lemon Bean took 2nd place in the sativa flower category at the 2021 High Times Cannabis Cup in Illinois and won best Terp Sauce at the Emerald Cup the same year. Known for its distinctive flavors of lemon, citrus and diesel with myrcene as its dominant terpene, this strain features striking visual appeal with radiant green buds adorned by rich purple and blue undertones, medium-density bud structure with brilliant orange pistils, and glistening trichomes that create a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's genetics trace back to notable parent strains, with Lemon Tree contributing citrus freshness and vigor while Eddy Lepp adds potency and complexity, resulting in an ideal balance between an uplifting high and refreshing flavor profile.

Growing Information
Lemon Bean is a manageable and hardy variety suitable for growers of all levels, being moderately easy to grow. The strain has a relatively short flowering time of 55-60 days (8-9 weeks) indoors and is ready to harvest in early October outdoors. Indoor yields range from 550-600g/m² while outdoor plants can produce over 800g per plant. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 70-90cm while outdoor plants can grow 2.3-2.6m tall. The strain does well both indoors and outdoors, with a moldable and adaptable structure that benefits from techniques like SCROG or LST, and performs best in temperate Mediterranean-like climates. Growers should prepare for moderately difficult cultivation with potential for large yields, requiring regular trimming and pruning to enhance light penetration and airflow.
