What is the Lemon Skunk strain?

Lemon Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Lemon Skunk is a sativa-dominant hybrid from Amsterdam's DNA Genetics that originates from the legendary Skunk #1 strain. To create this uniquely sweet and tasty hybrid, the seed bank crossed two different Skunk #1 phenotypes - the male came from Netherlands breeder Eddie, while the female was a citrusy Skunk phenotype from Lemon Man in Las Vegas. The Lemon mother has been kept for over 20 years in Las Vegas and the father was chosen in Holland. The strain was named in High Times' Top 10 Strains of the year in 2009 and also took 1st Indoor Hydro at Spannabis Cup 2008, 1st Outdoor at Highlife Cup in 2007 and 2nd place at IC420 Breeders Cup in 2008.

Lemon Skunk features a sativa/indica ratio of 60:40, making it a sativa-dominant hybrid that delivers a heady, peppy cerebral high with a boost of energy, creativity, happiness, and euphoria. The strain grows short with light green leaves, thick orange hairs, and dense, compact flowers. Its aroma is skunky and sweet while the flavor is reminiscent of sweet lemons and other citrus fruit. The energizing effects stem from its high THC content, which ranges between 15-22%. Myrcene is Lemon Skunk's dominant terpene.
