60 Day Lemon by DNA Genetics Seeds
Lemon Skunk × Ruderalis
60 Day Lemon is a hybrid autoflowering strain developed by DNA Genetics Seeds, designed for rapid growth and a prominent lemon aroma. It combines the desirable traits of Lemon Skunk with the speed and resilience of ruderalis genetics, making it suitable for growers prioritizing quick harvests and distinct citrus notes.
Appearance and Morphology
This strain typically grows into a compact, tidy plant, reaching heights of 60-100 cm indoors under optimal conditions. It features a symmetrical, shrub-like structure with short to medium internodal spacing, promoting dense bud development. The buds are conical to egg-shaped, medium in density, and often display a frosty coating of trichomes, with pistils turning orange as the plant ripens. Some phenotypes may exhibit faint purple hues in the calyx tips under cooler temperatures.
The calyx-to-leaf ratio is generally favorable, simplifying the trimming process. Sugar leaves around the buds become resinous, suitable for extraction. When properly dried, the buds maintain their structure and offer a light, zesty aroma when handled.
Aroma and Flavor
As its name suggests, 60 Day Lemon is characterized by a strong citrus-forward aroma, reminiscent of fresh lemon. This bright scent is layered over a subtle herbal skunk undertone, a nod to its Lemon Skunk heritage. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a zesty, effervescent lemon taste with potential hints of candy, cream, and a peppery or piney finish.
Effects
While specific effects can vary, 60 Day Lemon is generally associated with a focused mental state. Its balanced genetic makeup aims to provide a clear-headed experience, suitable for daytime use when concentration is desired. The autoflowering nature and rapid maturation contribute to its appeal for those seeking efficiency.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of 60 Day Lemon is notably dominated by limonene, contributing to its distinct citrus aroma and flavor. Other terpenes commonly found include myrcene and beta-caryophyllene, with occasional presence of terpinolene and ocimene. THC levels typically range from 15% to 25%, while CBD content remains below 1%.
Growing Characteristics
60 Day Lemon is an autoflowering strain, meaning it flowers based on age rather than light cycle, allowing for a seed-to-harvest time of approximately two months under optimal indoor conditions. It is known for its compact size and resilience, making it suitable for growers with limited space, such as in grow tents or wardrobes. The strain is relatively easy to grow, with a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio that aids in trimming.
Origins and Lineage
Developed by DNA Genetics Seeds, 60 Day Lemon is a hybrid autoflower created by crossing Lemon Skunk with a ruderalis strain. The intention was to capture the vibrant lemon profile of Lemon Skunk in a fast-finishing, compact plant with ruderalis's autoflowering capabilities. The genetic blend includes indica and sativa influences, aiming for speed, resilience, and a bright terpene profile.
