Lemon Zest
Also known as: Lemon Butter, Zest
Lemon Zest Strain Overview
Lemon Zest is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Wolf Genetics, though its exact parentage remains undisclosed. The strain is heavily sativa-dominant, consisting of 95% sativa and 5% indica genetics. While the complete genetic lineage is proprietary, speculated parent strains include Lemon Butter Biscuits and Super Lemon Haze, contributing to its vibrant citrus aroma and flavor profile. Flowers of Lemon Zest are distinguished by medium to large size and maintain a long, almost cylindrical shape with mossy, yellowish green leaves threaded through with a high volume of orange pistils and an even higher concentration of translucent, icy-looking trichomes. This plant grows fist-like flowers with a productive calyx-to-leaf ratio, leading to resinous buds that weigh heavy on the branches—so heavy that bracing or trellising may be needed to support the large colas. The strain boasts a high terpene content that exceeds 5%, dominated by terpinolene and ocimene, along with myrcene and caryophyllene abundant at the top of the terpene profile.

Lemon Zest Strain Growing Information
The strain is fairly simple to grow and makes growers happy because of its high yield, with experienced growers finding it very easy to get the best harvest from this strain that comes at a high quantity. Growing this strain is relatively simple and you can do so indoors as well as outdoors, with the most important consideration being to ensure that cannabis is exposed to temperatures between 68 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The strain's robust genetics and plant structure make it suitable for indoor cultivation with a flowering time of approximately 56 days (8 weeks), leading to heavy flower production. Lemon Zest flowers within eight to nine weeks and offers up a high yield of flowers come maturity. Wolf Genetics claims that its Lemon Zest plants will yield massive, dense buds with tightly packed calyxes over a 55-to-65-day flowering cycle. It can be grown indoors or out, with successful outdoor climate calling for semi-humid conditions and daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees; as expected of a strain with mostly sativa influences, plants can grow quite tall and are likely to require some pruning to fit inside limited indoor spaces.
