Old Lemongrass
Also known as: Lemongrass OG, Old School Lemongrass
Old Lemongrass Strain Overview
Old Lemongrass is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its distinctive citrus-forward aroma and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. It is generally believed to be a carefully selected phenotype from a larger breeding project focused on preserving classic, flavorful genetics while enhancing potency and consistency. The strain represents a bridge between older, landrace-influenced varieties and modern hybrid cultivation techniques.
The strain's name accurately reflects its most prominent characteristic: a powerful, authentic lemongrass aroma with sharp citrus notes, often accompanied by undertones of earth, pine, and spice. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant. They display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues brought out by cooler temperatures, and are generously coated in milky-white trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the flowers, completing its visually appealing presentation. Old Lemongrass is noted for its robust growth and reliable expression of its key terpene profile.
While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream hybrids, Old Lemongrass has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs and home growers who value its unique flavor and balanced, functional high. It is considered a 'classic' within certain cannabis communities, prized for its consistency and the quality of its effects. The strain's popularity is often attributed to its ability to deliver significant cerebral stimulation alongside a gentle, relaxing body effect, making it suitable for various times of day.

Old Lemongrass Strain Growing Information
Old Lemongrass is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere typically occurs in mid to late October. The plant tends to be of medium height, often staying manageable indoors but capable of stretching significantly if not trained. It prefers a stable, warm climate with low humidity, especially during flowering, to prevent mold on its dense buds. Both indoor and outdoor cultivation are possible, with indoor growing allowing for better environmental control. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) are recommended to maximize light exposure and bud production. The plant is somewhat resistant to common pests but requires good airflow around its dense colas.
