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.

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.
