Lemon Grass
Also known as: Lemon Grass OG, Lemon Grass Kush
Lemon Grass Strain Overview
Lemon Grass is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive citrus aroma and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but most sources trace its lineage to a cross between Lemon Skunk and an unknown indica-dominant strain, possibly an OG Kush variant. This genetic combination results in a plant that exhibits characteristics of both its sativa and indica heritage, creating a versatile experience appreciated by both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain is named for its pronounced lemony scent that closely resembles actual lemon grass herb, with additional earthy and herbal undertones. Visually, Lemon Grass typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and resinous, featuring a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and display bright orange pistils that contrast with the green foliage.
Lemon Grass has become known for its reliable performance and consistent effects, making it a staple in many dispensaries and cultivation operations. The strain's balanced nature means it doesn't typically produce overwhelming sedation or excessive cerebral stimulation, instead offering a moderate experience that can be suitable for various times of day. Its popularity has led to several phenotype variations, though most maintain the characteristic lemon aroma and hybrid effects that define the strain.

Lemon Grass Strain Growing Information
Lemon Grass is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or LST to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate nutrients during the vegetative stage to support its vigorous growth.
