Lemon OG Kush

Lemon OG Kush: Kushy Citrus

Lemon OG Kush seeds grow into medium to tall plants with long, thin stems and triangular buds. The leaves on this plant are long and dark green, so much so that they appear black. The buds are a mix of light and dark green with light white and yellow pistils growing from within. The buds have a tiny bit of crystal resin but not as much as some of the other strains we have looked into. When the nuggets are clipped, dried, and harvested, they are super leafy. You can easily break these nuggets apart with your fingers, and they are the ideal consistency for rolling joints and packing massive bowls. Those smokeable nuggets are bright green and bright orange and have a delicious scent to them. OG and Kush plants have been winning Cannabis Cups for decades. The parent strains of Lemon OG Kush have more awards than we can mention, making the offspring an award-winner by proxy, which might not mean outside of the cannabis community, but within it, having an award-winning lineage is very impressive. It is often how breeders decide to cross certain strains.
