Lemon Z
Also known as: Lemon Zkittle, Lemon Zkittlez, Lemon Kix
Overview
Lemon Z is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, originally winning the prestigious HighLife Cannabis Cup in 2018 with first place for Best Sativa and overall Best Weed in Show. This award-winning cultivar represents a refined version of the original Lemon Zkittle genetics, combining Las Vegas Lemon Skunk with the Original Z (Zkittlez) and later incorporating Lemon Tree genetics for improved stability and faster flowering times. The strain maintains the classic sweet, sour, lemon-dominant terpene profile that made the original famous while offering enhanced consistency and cultivation ease.
Lemon Z exhibits classic sativa characteristics with elongated branches, thin leaves, and a more open growth structure, though it contains enough indica genetics from Lemon Tree to prevent overly racy effects. The buds display a sativa-dominant structure with bright green calyxes, golden-yellow hues, and a thick layer of resinous trichomes. Plants typically reach medium to tall heights and produce generous yields both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields reaching 600-650g/m² and outdoor plants producing 1000-1500g per plant. The strain is noted for its resilience and natural resistance to pests and diseases, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers.
