Lemon OG Kush
Lemon OG Kush
Also known as: Lemon OG, Presidential Kush
Overview
Lemon OG Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by DNA Genetics through crossing Las Vegas Lemon Skunk with The OG #18. This strain has gained recognition for its distinctive lemony fuel aroma and quick-acting effects, representing a perfect marriage between citrus-forward genetics and classic OG characteristics. The strain produces cone-shaped buds that are moderately covered in trichomes with abundant deep orange and brown pistils, often displaying vibrant shades of green ranging from light to dark, occasionally complemented by patches of orange or rust-colored pistils and sometimes exhibiting purple and blue hues.
Lemon OG Kush stands out from other OG family members due to its more psychoactive effects while maintaining the heavy, medicated feel characteristic of kush strains. The strain is particularly noted for its intense citrus aroma reminiscent of pine sol, combining lemon, chemical, and eucalyptus notes with undertones of fresh cut wood, skunk, and hash. Despite its overpowering and sometimes sour scent, the taste is surprisingly much sweeter on the exhale with fruity undertones. The strain is known for its quick onset but moderate duration of effects, making it suitable for users seeking immediate relief without long-lasting impairment.

Growing Information
Lemon OG Kush is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for cultivators of all experience levels. The strain has a relatively quick flowering time of 8-10 weeks and produces high yields with a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio. Plants typically display low to medium stretch during flowering and respond well to various training techniques including topping, low-stress training (LST), and Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods. Indoor yields can reach up to 550 grams per square meter, while the plants grow to moderate height making them suitable for indoor grow spaces. The strain is adaptable to indoor, greenhouse, and outdoor growing environments. Proper curing is essential to maintain the vibrant citrus terpene profile, and growers should expect plants to become heavily resinous with trichome development starting early in the flowering phase.
