Lemon Drop
Lemon Drop
Also known as: Lemon Drop OG
Overview
On the strain circuit for over a decade, Lemon Drop is a sativa-leaning hybrid with an unknown past, as its parents and genetics largely remain a mystery. Shrouded in mystery, the genetic lineage of the Lemon Drop weed strain remains undisclosed, though it is widely speculated to be a sativa-dominant hybrid resulting from a cross between Lemon Kush and GSC, though other sources suggest possible connections to Hindu Kush as its relative. The parent strains of this kush are Alaskan Matanuska Thunderfuck and Pakistani Landrace. Genetics: Lemon Skunk x Sour Diesel has also been reported by some cultivators. The strain is characterized by impressively large and chunky flowers that, despite offering a mostly sativa high, have the chunky, dense structure typically associated with indicas. These buds tend to have a distinctly spade-like shape, tapering down from a broad base to a pointed tip. The strain's visual presentation, characterized by well-cultivated buds adorned with frosty white trichomes and a mélange of green and purple hues, adds to the sensory appeal and reinforces its premium quality. Known for its enticing scent and candy-like sweetness, Lemon Drop is typically recommended to consumers who are looking for an energizing and euphoric buzz.

Growing Information
Unfortunately, novice growers may find Lemon Drop a bit challenging to cultivate. The strain requires some level of experience from the grower in order ensure a successful cultivation. Regardless, the plant may be grown indoor or outdoor. Although, indoor cultivation may need a little extra effort from the grower as the plant could grow tall and therefore, needs to be pruned carefully. Flowering time indoors may take the plant 7 to 8 weeks before the buds can be harvested. If grown indoor, Lemon Drop offers an average yield of about 12 to 16 ounces per square meter. If cultivated outdoors, the buds should be ready for harvest by October, and in this case, growers can expect a yield of about 16 ounces or more per plant. Outdoor cultivation, on the other hand, requires at least a sub-tropical growing condition for the plant to thrive. Sources recommend using the Screen of Green (SCROG) method and to grow the plants using soil or hydro mediums either indoors or in a sub-tropical outdoor environment.
