Lemon Tree
Also known as: Lemon Tree Kush, Lemon Tree OG
Overview
Lemon Tree is an award-winning hybrid cannabis strain that gained significant recognition following its competition victories in 2014, including first place for Best Hybrid at both the San Francisco and Seattle High Times Cannabis Cup events. The strain originated in Santa Cruz County, Northern California, and represents a cross between two legendary strains: Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel. With its balanced genetic profile consisting of approximately 55% indica and 45% sativa genetics, Lemon Tree has become a favorite among both recreational and medical cannabis users. The cultivar produces dense, light-green buds that are heavily coated with sticky trichomes and amber-colored stigmas, giving them a crystalline appearance reminiscent of diamond powder. The plant typically grows to manageable heights indoors but can reach impressive sizes outdoors in larger containers, displaying a characteristic Christmas tree shape with long branches that shorten toward the top. Lemon Tree's complex terpene profile, dominated by limonene and myrcene, contributes to its distinctive citrusy aroma and therapeutic potential.

Growing Information
Lemon Tree is considered a relatively easy strain to cultivate, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The plant has a flowering time of 7-10 weeks (65-70 days) indoors and finishes from mid to late October outdoors. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 90-100 cm with potential yields of 600-700g/m², while outdoor plants can grow up to 2 meters and yield up to 1.5kg per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in moderate climates with daytime temperatures between 68-80°F and prefers relative humidity of 55-60% during vegetative phase, reducing to 40% during flowering. Lemon Tree responds well to low-stress training techniques and grows with a robust, compact structure. The plant produces dense, resin-covered buds that are excellent for extraction purposes due to their high trichome content.
