Lemon Kush Headband Strain Overview
Lemon Kush Headband is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) developed by Humboldt Seed Organization that has gained recognition as an exemplary representation of California cannabis breeding. The strain originated through a complex three-way cross between 215 Super-bud, Headband, and OG Original, resulting from five generations of selective breeding that began in 2011 when the breeders received an elite 215 Super-bud clone. The genetic lineage was further refined through backcrossing with Emerald Headband males and later paired with an F5 Emerald True OG male to enhance the citrus characteristics. This careful breeding process has created a polyhybrid architecture rather than a narrow line-bred cultivar, explaining the modest phenotype variation seen across different batches.
The strain produces dense, diamond-shaped light green buds surrounded by reddish-purple leaves with bright red pistils and a coating of tiny vivid white crystal trichomes. During the final two weeks of flowering, the leaves often develop beautiful orange, red, and purple hues. The plant structure is characterized by strong root systems that support large terminal sites and thick stems capable of holding substantial colas. Lemon Kush Headband maintains strong resistance to mold and diseases throughout its life cycle, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor flowering typically completes in 63-68 days (9-10 weeks), while outdoor plants finish in early to mid-October and can reach heights of 12 feet or more under optimal conditions.

Lemon Kush Headband Strain Growing Information
Lemon Kush Headband is considered moderately easy to grow with vigorous vegetative growth traits. Indoor cultivation requires 63-68 days flowering time with yields of 450-600 grams per square meter. A short vegetative period is recommended indoors as the plant stretches considerably during flower. The strain responds exceptionally well to SCROG (Screen of Green) methods, producing high yields with excellent bag appeal. Outdoor cultivation is suitable for temperate and Mediterranean climates, finishing in early October with potential yields of 900-4000 grams per plant. Plants can reach 12+ feet outdoors and require caging with secondary support during final development stages. The strain shows strong resistance to mold and diseases but can be slightly more sensitive to humidity fluctuations than other varieties. It clones extremely well and maintains consistent characteristics across generations.
