Lemon Kush

Lemon Kush: Sweet Lemon

You might expect the Lemon Kush strain to be yellow or feature bright colors when fully grown. The seeds of this strain grow into a dark green plant with short leaves and pale green buds. If you look closely at the plant, you will find that the buds are covered in resin, which gives them the appearance of being pale green. The harevsted nuggets look nothing like the original plant as they turn a vibrant orange and amber color with small flecks of green poking through. The Lemon Kush strain has a bunch of awards to brag about. In 2017, it won first place for Best Sativa in the VI Copa Cannabica Expogrow. It also took home third place for BHO Professional in the 2018 Supreme Strain competition. In 2019, it won first place at the VI Copa Cata del Oeste in Argentina. In 2017, Lemon Kush took home the BIG prize, first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Hyrbid, leaving its mark in the marijuana world as one of the best strains ever created.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Lemon Kush is an incredibly rewarding strain for novice growers and above, as it is a hassle-free strain that provides massive yields, especially when grown outdoors. Lemon Kush female plants will thrive both indoors and outside if you live in a region that has a dry and warm Mediterranean-like climate. Growing Lemon Kush cannabis seeds in organic soil is recommended as it promotes a stronger lemon aroma in the harvested buds. This is the same aroma you can smell even before you see the buds with your eyes.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Lemon Kush cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The light requirement for this strain is 18-20 hours to ensure the proper time of growth. Approaching the flowering stage, you will want to switch to a 12/12 light cycle.
•  Moisture control: For humidity, it is best to keep it around or slightly below 65-70% through the vegetative stage. Dialing back the humidity to between 60% will help get through the flowering stage without mold or mildew growing on your plants.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training and topping are the best methods for this strain as they both require canopy adjustment so that the lower levels of the plant receive sunlight and air circulation. These methods will ultimately increase your yields and help with THC content once you are ready to harvest.

• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 500 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 1000 grams per plant. These yields are massive, considering that the strain is easy to grow and has an average flowering time.

Dominant Terpenes in Lemon Kush: Potent and Tasty

The Lemon Kush terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while caryophyllene and pinene are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Earthy, musky aroma. Known to help with inflammation.
• Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – Peppery and spicy notes. One of the most dominant terpenes in the cannabis world.
• Pinene: Pine Notes – Found in pine needles and coniferous trees, this terpene adds earthy aromas and flavors to cannabis plants.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Lemon Kush:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Lemon Kush seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That euphoric, happy, and focused feeling you get when enjoying the Lemon Kush strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 26%, the THC in this balanced hybrid strain is responsible for the happy and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying Lemon Kush cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Lemon Kush are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Lemon Kush strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
