Also known as: Lemon Crippler OG
Lemon Crippler Strain Overview
Lemon Crippler is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Lemon Skunk and Cripple Creek. This strain emerged in the early 2000s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where breeders sought to create a flavorful, potent strain with balanced effects. While its exact breeding history isn't fully documented, Lemon Crippler has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its distinctive citrus profile and reliable effects.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The buds are known for their sticky texture and strong aroma that intensifies when broken apart.
Lemon Crippler is particularly noted for its pronounced lemon and citrus terpene profile, which comes from its Lemon Skunk lineage. The strain offers a balanced experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Lemon Crippler has maintained a dedicated following among those who appreciate its specific combination of flavor and effects.

Lemon Crippler Strain Growing Information
Lemon Crippler is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation allowing better control over environmental factors.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 200 cm under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to manage height and improve yield. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture issues. The plants benefit from good air circulation and may require support for heavy colas during late flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly with nitrogen during flowering.
