Also known as: Sticky Lemon, Lemon Sticky
Sticky Lemons Strain Overview
Sticky Lemons is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive citrus profile and resinous buds. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding literature, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from West Coast breeders who sought to combine potent lemon genetics with high trichome production. The name directly references both its pronounced lemon aroma and the exceptionally sticky texture of its flowers, which are coated in a thick layer of trichomes that give the buds a glistening, frosty appearance.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds that are forest green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast against the backdrop of frosty trichomes. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production, often requiring careful handling during trimming and preparation. The high trichome density contributes not only to the strain's potency but also to its name, as the flowers can be quite adhesive to the touch.
Sticky Lemons has become particularly noted among connoisseurs for its terpene profile, which delivers a complex citrus experience with subtle earthy undertones. The strain's effects are generally described as well-balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Its combination of appealing aesthetics, aromatic complexity, and balanced effects has made it a popular choice in both medical and recreational cannabis markets, though it remains more commonly available in legal markets than as a widespread commercial strain.

Sticky Lemons Strain Growing Information
Sticky Lemons is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. Plants tend to grow to medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light exposure to lower branches. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful monitoring of nutrient levels as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The high resin production makes trimming labor-intensive but rewarding.
