Basic infos

Lemon Tree is an indica / sativa from Unknown or Legendary and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors Unknown or Legendary's Lemon Tree is/was never available as feminized seeds.

Unknown or Legendary Description

Lemon Tree gained serious traction in the world of weed following two critical competition wins in 2014. To this day, she remains a firm favorite among growers who prefer complex terpene profiles and well-balanced effects. Learn everything you need to know about this cultivar below, including her genetic lineage, potential uses, and growing habits.

Strain History of Lemon Tree

The origins of Lemon Tree remain somewhat murky. The strain first originated in the city of Santa Cruz in Northern California. The cultivar slowly started to gain traction on the West Coast, and eventually earned international recognition following a stellar year on the competition circuit in 2014; she won first place for Best Hybrid at both the San Francisco and Seattle High Times Cannabis Cup events.

As Lemon Tree continued to rise in popularity, other seed banks created their own version of the cultivar. Barney’s Farm, a pioneering seed company located in the Netherlands, bred their own version of the strain using the original parent varieties.

Genetic Lineage of Lemon Tree

Lemon Tree possesses a fairly balanced genetic profile, consisting of 55% indica and 45% sativa. She produces an impressive amount of THC and a highly complex terpene profile. On top of this, she churns out large yields over a short flowering time. So, from where exactly did this strain inherit these traits? Discover Lemon Tree’s genetic lineage below:

• Lemon Skunk: DNA Genetics created Lemon Skunk by crossing two unique Skunk phenotypes. Skunk sits firmly upon the pantheon of legendary cannabis genetics for several reasons, including her mellow high and distinct aroma. Lemon Skunk differs from the original strain in numerous ways, including her particularly citrusy and zesty scent and flavor.

With a THC content of 19%, she doesn’t hit as hard as many modern hybrids. Instead, she serves up an energetic and happy high that uplifts the mind in a gentle fashion. Many characteristics of Lemon Skunk are visible in her progeny, including her fruity yet pungent phytochemicals and rewarding productivity.

• Sour Diesel: This strain goes by many names, including Sour D and Sour Deez. This sativa-dominant hybrid stems from a crossing of Chemdawg and Super Skunk. The former has gained a reputation for her euphoric and creative high, while the latter remains popular among smokers who prefer more stoning effects.

Sour Diesel expresses both of these contrasting attributes, but she certainly favors the energetic side of the spectrum. Sour Diesel’s terpene profile—composed mainly of myrcene—and her disposition to produce large yields both show up in Lemon Tree.

Physical Characteristics of Lemon Tree

As an indica-dominant hybrid, this strain possesses the quintessential bushiness that most experienced cultivators would expect. However, her morphology also provides hints of her sativa genetics, including the length of the lower branches and the pillar-like structure of her large inflorescences. Her colas are considerably long and ornate with manifold sugar leaves.

The height of this cultivar varies depending on environmental factors. Indoor plants grown in containers peak at around 100cm; those grown directly in the ground outside, with room to spread their roots, reach up to 200cm.

Lemon Tree maintains a dark forest-green shade throughout much of the growing cycle, providing she has adequate access to nitrogen. However, things take an exotic turn during the late flowering stage. As chlorophyll levels start to dwindle and the green veil of this pigment falls away, strong hues of orange and purple come to the fore. But these colors don’t strike the human retina directly; they first refract through a dense layer of closely packed trichomes and the resin these tiny glandular structures exude.

Properties/Effects of Lemon Tree

First things first, let’s assess her phytochemical profile. The THC content of Lemon Tree varies drastically from as low as 13% to as high as 26%. This figure hinges on both the skill of the grower and a host of environmental factors. For example, plants grown outside in fertile soil and exposed to natural UV rays will outperform those grown indoors under subpar lights by a complete novice. It goes without saying that buds higher in THC hit much harder. Still, this strain’s terpene profile also plays a fundamental role in her effects.

Lemon Tree features a complex terpene profile that gives rise to citrus, lemon, diesel, skunk, and fruit flavors. Chief among her aromatic components are myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene. In synergy with THC, these chemicals produce a clear-headed, soothing, and physically stoning effect. Overall, Lemon Tree serves up a relaxing yet functional high ideal for any time of the day.

Uses of Lemon Tree

Past her recreational effects, Lemon Tree has also become popular among medical marijuana users because of her purported therapeutic utility. The research surrounding cannabis and the health conditions mentioned below remains inconclusive. However, several users claim that the strain can assist with the following:

• Mood

• Immune system

• Physical discomfort

Cultivation/Production of Lemon Tree

Many users find success using the paper towel method when germinating Lemon Tree seeds. Simply place seeds between two saturated sheets and cover them with an upturned dinner plate. When the emergent radial roots reach a length of 3cm, transfer them into a small pot filled with a high-quality potting mix. Once the first true leaves emerge, transplant each seedling to their final pot or directly into a raised bed outside.

Applying bioinoculants during transplanting will pay dividends later in the growing cycle. The administration of trichoderma, mycorrhizal fungi, and rhizobacteria will ramp up the nutrient cycle, buffer against disease, and optimize the uptake of nutrients and water.

Indoors, plants will produce up to 650g/m² under a strong lamp and with adequate nutrients. Plants grown outdoors do best in a sheltered position exposed to full sun, where they’ll produce up to a massive 1500g/plant. Amend your soil with clay and organic matter before transplanting to push yields to their limits. Despite her tendency to produce big yields, Lemon Tree cruises through the flowering phase in just 9–10 weeks.

Lemon Tree: Oozing With Clarity and Relaxation

Lemon Tree has become a popular cultivar following her great success in prestigious competitions. This hybrid serves up a soothing and balanced high characterized by euphoria, relaxation, and clarity. Her THC levels are known to fluctuate drastically, but consistently clock in at over 20% when cultivated carefully. Despite her medium size and quick flowering time, this variety will churn out big yields if she receives enough love and attention throughout the growing cycle.
