Life's Lemons
Also known as: Lemon Life
Life's Lemons Strain Overview
Life's Lemons is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Lemon Skunk with an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, though some sources suggest it may involve Lemon Kush genetics. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to create a citrus-forward variety with balanced effects. Its name reflects both its pronounced lemon flavor profile and the philosophical notion of 'making lemonade from life's lemons,' suggesting a strain that helps users manage stress and find positivity.
The plant produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring bright green calyxes contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are typically compact and resinous, with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance in growth pattern. When properly cured, the flowers emit a powerful aroma that fills the room with sharp citrus notes.
Life's Lemons has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its reliable effects and exceptional flavor profile. The strain is particularly noted for its ability to provide both mental stimulation and physical relaxation without excessive sedation, making it suitable for daytime or evening use. While not among the most commercially widespread strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities and is available through select breeders and dispensaries.

Life's Lemons Strain Growing Information
Life's Lemons is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Life's Lemons responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring for common cannabis pests. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Nutrient requirements are typical for cannabis, though some growers report that the strain benefits from slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to enhance terpene production.
