Lemon Tree

Lemon Tree: Zesty Award-Winning Perfection

Clear Mind and Light Feet

The onset moves fast. Your eyes lift, mood ticks upward, and things start to feel lighter. There’s a buzz behind the ears with a steady pulse that sharpens without rushing you. This makes it perfect for social hours, long walks, or zoning in on creative work.

Smooth, Centered, and Awake

The high smooths out just as your shoulders drop. The energy fades into comfort, and the chatter in your head starts to quiet. Physically, you’re loose, emotionally you’re levelled, and everything feels just a bit more manageable.

As the high fades, a clean sense of peace settles in, not too heavy, not too light.

Therapeutic Use

Lemon Tree’s balanced profile has appeal for medical users chasing relief without total sedation. Those with a low mood or tension often turn to its steady effects. It’s the kind of strain that puts your body at ease and keeps your head in the room.

Smart Growing Techniques for Maximum Returns

Breaking the Seed Helmet With Ease

Some feminized seeds crack open cleanly while others cling to their shells. When a stuck seed helmet won’t fall off after sprouting, it can stall early growth or damage the seedling. This strain sometimes needs a little help getting started, so don’t hesitate to step in gently if the shell stays stuck after the sprout emerges.

• Soak your seeds before the germination process. While this softens their skin for easier sprouting, avoid letting them soak too long—18 hours is your upper limit.
• Tuck your seeds between damp paper towels inside a sealed container to prevent moisture escape, which hardens the seed coat.
• Keep the temperature steady between 21 and 24°C to encourage sprouting.

After the tap roots have come out, you will need to transplant them into their starter medium. Here are some key tips to guide you.

• Be gentle when handling sprouts so you don’t damage the fresh taproot.
• Choose breathable pots filled with loose, well-aerated soil.
• Mist the top of the soil after planting instead of watering heavily.
• Give them soft, low lighting during the first couple of days after they pop.

Managing Fast Vegetative Growth

This strain grows quickly, so you’ll need to guide it early or risk lanky stems. Topping or fimming at the third node keeps things balanced and encourages lower growth to thrive. You’ll get a bushier, more even canopy with just this early step.

Low-stress training is your friend—tie down branches gently across 10 to 14 days. And as week four approaches, spacing becomes key, so arrange lights and airflow to match. Removing a few large fan leaves here and there will also help reduce humidity under the canopy.

When transitioning, taper off nitrogen instead of cutting it off all at once.

Switch to flowering nutrients during week five to avoid late stretch. Bring the lights a bit closer during pre-flower to help lock in shorter node gaps and promote trichomes.

Containing Aromas During Late Flower

When the plants approach late bloom, their aromas get loud. Trichomes multiply, and the smell fills your space fast. If you’re growing in a shared space or apartment, these steps make a huge difference.

• Swap in a fresh carbon filter before bloom kicks off for full-strength filtration.
• Add a pre-filter or an inline scrubber to keep the main filter running efficiently.
• Good air circulation helps—two clip-on fans inside and proper exhaust routing do wonders.
• Outside, light breezes help, but nearby herbs like mint can blend or soften the scent.
• Seal grow tents tightly and use flexible ducting with bends to trap escaping smells.

Growing Characteristics

Lemon Tree cannabis seeds are reliable in the grow room. They are not too fussy and hold up well against most beginner mistakes. You’ll be set for a strong finish with just a little attention.

This strain grows best under warm sun, but it doesn’t mind cooler air either. Indoors, it handles artificial light like a champ. Outdoors, it thrives best in Mediterranean zones and pushes through mild shifts in weather.

Plant Size & Structure

Expect plants to stay compact indoors, usually under a meter tall. Outside, they stretch up to two meters tall if given room and time. The branches open wide, letting air and light through the canopy with ease.

Flowering Time

Lemon Tree isn’t in a rush but finishes right on schedule. Indoors, expect flowering to wrap up in 65 to 70 days. Outdoors, mid-to-late October is harvest time—right before the cold truly sets in.

Yield Potential

Indoors, you’ll pull around 400 to 450 grams per square meter with the right setup. Outdoors, a well-fed plant in good soil can hit up to 700 grams. Every cola comes thick with trichomes and flavor locked in.

 

Origin and Lineage

Lemon Tree first gained traction out of Santa Cruz, California, where its distinct aroma and flavor drew attention before it ever hit a competition. The 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup wins in Seattle and San Francisco cemented its reputation among both growers and users. Since then, it’s seen versions produced by multiple breeders, including a popular selection by Barney’s Farm.

Its parents, Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel, bring out the best in both structure and profile. Lemon Skunk was selected for its bright citrus nose and uplifting effect, while Sour Diesel added weight, resin, and a deeper punch of aroma. The balance between these traits lives on here, and you’ll see it in both the garden and the jar.
