Lemon Nigerian
Also known as: Lemon Nigerian Haze
Lemon Nigerian Strain Overview
Lemon Nigerian is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that combines genetics from West Africa with modern breeding techniques. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have been developed by crossing a Nigerian landrace sativa with a lemon-scented hybrid, possibly involving Lemon Skunk or another citrus-forward strain. This combination created a unique sativa that preserves the energetic, cerebral qualities of its African heritage while introducing pronounced citrus aromas and flavors.
The strain is characterized by its elongated, spear-shaped buds that are typically light to medium green in color with occasional orange pistils. The flowers are often frosty with trichomes, reflecting its relatively high THC content. Lemon Nigerian plants tend to be tall and lanky with narrow leaves, consistent with its sativa lineage. The strain is particularly noted for its strong lemon and citrus aroma, which is often described as sharp and refreshing with subtle earthy undertones.
Lemon Nigerian has gained popularity among sativa enthusiasts for its clear-headed, uplifting effects that are less likely to cause anxiety than some other high-THC sativas. The strain is considered somewhat rare in commercial markets but has developed a following among home growers and connoisseurs who appreciate its unique combination of African genetics and citrus characteristics. Its effects are typically described as cerebral and energizing, making it suitable for daytime use.

Lemon Nigerian Strain Growing Information
Lemon Nigerian is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth patterns and specific environmental needs. The strain has a relatively long flowering time of 10-12 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in suitable climates (warm, Mediterranean-like conditions) are typically ready for harvest in late October to early November. Plants can grow quite tall, often reaching 6-8 feet outdoors, so indoor growers may need to employ training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height. The strain prefers consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, with good air circulation to prevent mold. Yields are typically moderate to high when given adequate space and nutrients. Lemon Nigerian responds well to organic growing methods and benefits from regular pruning to improve light penetration to lower branches.
