Lemon Poison
Lemon Poison Strain Overview
Lemon Poison is a relatively rare cannabis strain that combines genetics from two distinct lineages to create a unique sensory experience. While its exact breeding history is not widely documented in mainstream cannabis literature, the strain appears to be a carefully selected cross between Lemon Skunk and an unknown indica-dominant parent, possibly from the Poison family of strains. This combination results in a hybrid that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on individual tolerance and dosage.
The strain's most distinctive feature is its pronounced citrus aroma, which gives it the 'Lemon' portion of its name. The buds typically display a dense structure with vibrant green coloration accented by orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The 'Poison' aspect of the name likely references either its genetic lineage or its potent effects, which some users describe as having a creeping intensity that can be overwhelming for inexperienced consumers. The strain has gained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex flavor profile and balanced effects.
Lemon Poison represents an interesting case in cannabis breeding where name recognition doesn't always correlate with widespread availability. It's more commonly found in certain regional markets and through specialty breeders rather than large commercial producers. The strain's rarity means that phenotypic expressions can vary significantly between different grows, with some phenotypes leaning more toward sativa-like effects while others exhibit stronger indica characteristics. This variability contributes to both its appeal among experienced users and the challenge in providing definitive specifications.

Lemon Poison Strain Growing Information
Lemon Poison is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the expression of its desirable traits. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) to maximize light penetration and airflow. Lemon Poison prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in dense bud structures. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and may exhibit nutrient sensitivity during flowering if overfed.
