Lemon Tanghulu
Lemon Tanghulu Strain Overview
Lemon Tanghulu is a relatively new cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in boutique cannabis markets and among connoisseurs. The strain's name combines 'Lemon' for its dominant citrus profile with 'Tanghulu,' a traditional Chinese candied fruit snack, suggesting a sweet-tart flavor experience. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure, Lemon Tanghulu appears to have been developed by specialized breeders aiming to create a strain with pronounced terpene expression and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a sugary appearance reminiscent of its namesake treat. The nugs often display vibrant green hues with occasional purple or orange pistils, creating visual appeal. Lemon Tanghulu's most distinctive characteristic is its powerful aroma profile that combines sharp citrus notes with underlying sweet and earthy tones, creating a complex sensory experience that many users find particularly enjoyable.
As a hybrid, Lemon Tanghulu offers effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to more relaxing physical sensations. The strain has gained attention for its flavorful smoke and well-rounded experience, though it remains somewhat rare compared to more established lemon varieties. Its novelty means that consistent phenotype expression can vary between growers, and comprehensive historical documentation is limited.

Lemon Tanghulu Strain Growing Information
Lemon Tanghulu is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its genetic potential. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, up to 2 meters outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to improve light penetration and bud development. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good airflow to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds develop. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support terpene production.
