Pucker Up
Pucker Up Strain Overview
Pucker Up is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Lemon Skunk with an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from the Sour Diesel family. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to create a flavorful, well-rounded hybrid with pronounced citrus characteristics. Its name derives from the distinctive tart, mouth-puckering flavor profile that combines sharp citrus notes with earthy undertones, creating a unique sensory experience that has gained a following among connoisseurs seeking flavorful daytime strains.
Visually, Pucker Up plants produce medium-sized, dense buds with a classic hybrid structure—neither too compact like pure indicas nor too airy like some sativas. The flowers typically display vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may emerge under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The strain's aroma is immediately noticeable upon opening a container, releasing a complex bouquet dominated by sharp lemon and grapefruit notes with subtle diesel and earthy undertones.
Pucker Up is recognized for providing a balanced cerebral and physical experience that many users find functional for daytime use. The effects typically begin with an uplifting, euphoric head high that gradually transitions into mild body relaxation without significant sedation. This combination makes it popular among those seeking relief from stress and mild discomfort while maintaining productivity. The strain's relatively high THC content (typically 18-24%) means it should be approached cautiously by novice consumers, though experienced users appreciate its predictable effects and exceptional flavor profile.

Pucker Up Strain Growing Information
Pucker Up is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. Plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature conditions that can enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, up to 6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to improve light penetration and air circulation. Yield is average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-20 ounces per plant outdoors under optimal conditions. The strain is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good airflow to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Nutrient requirements are typical for hybrids, though some growers report sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
