Lions Gate
Lions Gate
Also known as: Lion's Gate
Overview
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.

Growing Information
Lions Gate is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with indoor gardens flowering in approximately 8 weeks (56-58 days). The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and responds well to controlled environments. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, making them suitable for indoor setups with limited vertical space. The strain produces dense, resinous buds with good trichome production, indicating solid yield potential when grown under optimal conditions. Growers should pay attention to humidity control during the flowering stage to prevent mold issues, given the strain's dense bud structure and high resin production. Temperature management is also important to maintain the strain's distinctive terpene profile and prevent heat stress.
