Also known as: LKH
What is the Lemon Kush Headband strain?
Lemon Kush Headband is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
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.
