Overview

Lemon Cheesecake is a sativa-dominant hybrid created from crossing Lemon Skunk and Cheese strains, featuring THC content typically ranging between 21% and 23%. The strain is composed of approximately 60% sativa and 40% indica genetics, making it well-suited for daytime use. Originally developed by Heavyweight Seeds, this strain was created by crossing Lemon Skunk with a "dangerously powerful" Cheese variety. The strain emerged in the 2010s as a commercial-ready cross, with Heavyweight Seeds popularizing the name "Lemon Cheesecake," which eventually became colloquially shortened to "Lemon Cake" among dispensaries and consumers, with both names now used interchangeably.

Lemon Cheesecake produces large, resinous, symmetrically shaped buds that are pale green in color and covered with orange pistils and a moderate layer of trichomes. The strain is characterized by a powerful musky, earthy, and skunky aroma with distinct lemon citrus notes and diesel undertones. The flavor profile is creamy and sweet with strong lemon notes, genuinely reminiscent of eating a freshly baked slice of lemon cheesecake. This unique genetic combination brings together the vibrant citrusy zest of Lemon Skunk with the bold, musky depth of Cheese, creating a distinctive profile that appeals to diverse palates and influences both the strain's effects and growth characteristics.

Growing Information

Growing Lemon Cheesecake is considered moderately easy with an average flowering time of 9-10 weeks. The strain is relatively moderate to grow, making it suitable for growers with some experience, and thrives best in a Mediterranean climate. Plants can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 67 days (9-10 weeks). Indoor cultivation yields about 12-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce around 550 grams per plant with heights reaching 5-8 feet. The strain exhibits vigorous growth, delivering huge pistil-coated colas along every internode, with extra support strongly advised as the weight of giant buds can overload branches toward the end of flowering. The mega yields make Lemon Cheesecake a safe bet for commercial growers.
