Also known as: Lion's Gate
What is the Lions Gate strain?
Lions Gate is a indica cannabis strain with up to 18.5% THC, known for its focused effects and citrus and mint flavor profile.
Lions Gate is a 100% pure indica strain with unknown genetics due to breeder secrecy, though some sources suggest it may also be referred to as Lions Gate OG in breeding contexts. This strain has gained recognition for defying typical indica stereotypes by providing an uplifting and focused high rather than the sedating effects commonly associated with indica varieties. The strain produces dense, popcorn-shaped buds that display deep forest green coloration with rich purple undertones when harvest-ready, complemented by a spattering of dark orange pistils throughout. The buds are notably resinous, covered with a fine layer of milky white trichomes and practically dripping with sweet, sticky, syrupy resin. Lions Gate is characterized by its distinctive minty citrus aroma with skunky undertones, creating an intensely sharp minty citrus taste that becomes more pronounced upon exhale. Users often note orange and menthol notes in both the aroma and flavor profile, making it a memorable strain for connoisseurs who appreciate complex terpene expressions.
