007 Up
Lemon Skunk × Super Lemon Haze × Lemon Tree × OG Hybrid × Cookies Hybrid
007 Up is a hybrid cannabis cultivar recognized for its vibrant citrus aroma, reminiscent of lemon-lime soda. It typically delivers an energetic onset, making it a popular choice for daytime use. The strain has gained traction for its bright flavor profile and functional effects.
Appearance
007 Up often presents with medium-density, conical buds covered in a notable layer of trichomes. The flowers are typically lime to forest green in color, adorned with bright orange pistils. Its appearance is often described as frosty, with some phenotypes exhibiting a silver sheen on the sugar leaves, contributing to a 'soda-like' visual.
The bud structure is generally hybrid-moderate, firm but not overly dense. Well-cultivated batches showcase intact trichomes that glint under light. When broken apart, the interior is pale and crystalline, often releasing citrus oil aromas.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of 007 Up is predominantly characterized by lemon-lime zest, often compared to twisting a citrus peel or sparkling water. Secondary notes may include subtle floral hints and a clean pine scent. Some variations can also present a mild diesel undertone that complements the primary citrus notes without overpowering them.
Upon combustion or vaporization, the flavor profile typically starts with a tangy sweetness akin to lemon candy, transitioning to lime peel and a gentle pine. The exhale can carry a subtle peppery note, leaving a dry, sparkling finish reminiscent of citrus seltzer. Vaporizing at moderate temperatures can enhance the lime notes, making them less sugary.
Effects
007 Up is known for providing a fast and upbeat onset of effects. Consumers often report feeling energetic and experiencing a mood lift, making it suitable for daytime activities. The hybrid nature of the strain suggests a balance, offering functional cerebral stimulation without significant sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The dominant terpene in 007 Up is typically limonene, responsible for its pronounced lemon and citrus characteristics. Other terpenes commonly found include beta-caryophyllene, which can contribute a peppery warmth, and pinene (alpha- and beta-), adding a cooling, fresh note. Myrcene may also be present, influencing the overall profile.
In terms of cannabinoids, 007 Up is noted for its THC content, often reaching around 20%, with CBD levels typically below 1%. The combination of these cannabinoids and terpenes contributes to its characteristic energetic and mood-lifting effects.
Origins & Lineage
The exact genetic lineage of 007 Up can vary as it has been released by multiple breeders. However, common reports suggest parents with lemon-forward genetics, potentially including strains like Lemon Skunk, Super Lemon Haze, or Lemon Tree. The other parent is often described as an OG or Cookies-leaning hybrid.
The cultivar emerged in the mid-to-late 2010s and gained popularity alongside a broader trend of citrus-forward and beverage-inspired cannabis varieties. Its name combines a nod to a famous spy with the association of lemon-lime soda, signaling its sensory profile.
Growing Information
007 Up is generally considered a hybrid with a sativa-leaning expression. It typically responds well to cultivation techniques like topping and Screen of Green (SCROG) setups, indicating a branching growth pattern. Growers may observe moderate internode spacing and a stretch factor of approximately 1.5x to 2x during early flowering under intense lighting.
The flowering period is not specified, but it is often treated as a balanced hybrid. Environmental conditions that support robust growth and terpene development are recommended. Yield potential is not explicitly detailed but is often consistent with other hybrid strains.
