Lemon Zest
Also known as: Lemon Butter, Zest
What is the Lemon Zest strain?
Lemon Zest is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
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.
