Lemons
Also known as: Lemon, Lemon Strain
Lemons Strain Overview
Lemons is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain known for its pronounced citrus aroma and uplifting effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, though it is generally believed to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2000s, potentially as a phenotype selection from other lemon-scented varieties. Breeders sought to amplify the terpene profile responsible for its distinctive lemon character, resulting in a strain that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure and a coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from light to medium green, often with subtle orange pistils weaving through the flowers. The most notable feature is its powerful aroma, which strongly resembles fresh lemon zest with undertones of earth and pine. This aromatic profile translates directly to the flavor when consumed, providing a clean, citrus-forward experience.
Lemons has become a favorite among sativa enthusiasts for its clear-headed, energizing effects that are often described as functional and creative. While not as historically documented as some classic strains, it has established itself through consistent cultivation and positive user reports. The strain's reliability in producing its signature lemon characteristics has made it a popular choice for both growers and consumers seeking a predictable, uplifting experience.

Lemons Strain Growing Information
Lemons is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic setups indoors. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in late flowering. The strain benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
