Lemon Hindu
Also known as: Lemon Hindu Kush
Lemon Hindu Strain Overview
Lemon Hindu is a predominantly indica cannabis strain that combines the classic genetics of Hindu Kush with a citrus-forward phenotype. This strain emerged from the hybridization efforts of breeders seeking to enhance the aromatic profile of traditional Hindu Kush while maintaining its deeply relaxing effects. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, Lemon Hindu gained popularity in the late 2000s and early 2010s as a flavorful alternative to its more earthy progenitor.
The plant typically displays dense, resinous buds with a structure characteristic of indica varieties—compact and chunky. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions, with a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The most distinctive feature is its pronounced citrus aroma, which distinguishes it from the more earthy and spicy traditional Hindu Kush. The buds often exhibit bright orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage.
Lemon Hindu represents a successful fusion of heritage genetics with modern flavor preferences, offering users the classic body-centered effects associated with Hindu Kush lineages while introducing a more vibrant sensory experience. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries and among home growers who appreciate reliable indica effects combined with exceptional flavor profiles.

Lemon Hindu Strain Growing Information
Lemon Hindu is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early 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 plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. It maintains a relatively compact stature for an indica, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plant responds well to low-stress training techniques and benefits from proper nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when resin production peaks.
