Also known as: Nina Lemon
Nina Limone Strain Overview
Nina Limone is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its distinctive citrus profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available, but it appears to have emerged from boutique breeding circles in California during the early 2010s. Breeders reportedly sought to create a strain with pronounced lemon characteristics while maintaining a versatile effect profile suitable for both daytime and evening use.
The strain's name reflects its primary sensory characteristics: 'Nina' suggests elegance or refinement, while 'Limone' (Italian for 'lemon') directly references its dominant flavor profile. Visually, Nina Limone typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure and vibrant green coloration, often accented by amber pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The nugs are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when properly cured.
What makes Nina Limone notable is its complex aromatic profile that extends beyond simple citrus notes. While lemon is the dominant scent, experienced users often detect subtle undertones of earthiness and spice that develop as the buds are broken apart. The strain's effects are generally described as well-balanced, with neither indica nor sativa characteristics overwhelmingly dominant, making it a versatile choice for various occasions. Due to its relative rarity, Nina Limone is more commonly found in specialized dispensaries and among home growers who seek out unique genetics.

Nina Limone Strain Growing Information
Nina Limone is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the conditions needed to maximize its terpene expression. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Nina Limone responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to increase yield and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The strain benefits from a consistent nutrient regimen with particular attention to phosphorus during flowering. Growers should monitor pH levels carefully, as Nina Limone can be sensitive to nutrient lockout if pH drifts outside optimal ranges. The plants typically develop a strong lemon scent during late flowering, requiring adequate odor control measures in indoor grows.
