Lemon Heads
Also known as: Lemon Head
Lemon Heads Strain Overview
Lemon Heads is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Lemon Skunk with Headband. The strain was created by breeders seeking to combine the uplifting cerebral effects of Headband with the distinctive citrus profile of Lemon Skunk. First appearing in the early 2010s, Lemon Heads has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded effects and pronounced flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from bright lime green to deeper forest green, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when handled, indicating high cannabinoid content.
Lemon Heads is particularly noted for its strong citrus aroma that dominates the sensory experience, with secondary notes of diesel and earthiness. The flavor profile closely follows the aroma, delivering a smooth smoke or vapor with pronounced lemon and citrus notes on both inhale and exhale. The strain's balanced genetics make it suitable for various times of day, though some users may find the effects more stimulating in smaller doses and more sedating in larger quantities.

Lemon Heads Strain Growing Information
Lemon Heads is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent sunlight. Plants tend to grow to medium height, making them suitable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Regular pruning and training (such as topping or LST) can help maximize yields and improve light penetration to lower bud sites.
