87 Lem X Limepop by Lempire Farmaseed
87' Lem × Limepop
87 Lem X Limepop is a hybrid cultivar from Lempire Farmaseed, drawing inspiration from Northern California's citrus-focused cannabis heritage. This strain is designed for daytime enjoyment, offering a bright aroma and flavor profile.
Appearance
This cultivar typically displays lime to bright emerald green buds, sometimes with pastel highlights and golden pistils. The buds are often medium-sized, conical, and slightly elongated, reflecting its sativa genetics. Abundant trichome coverage gives the buds a frosted appearance, particularly closer to harvest.
Under cooler temperatures, some phenotypes may develop faint lavender or blush tones. The structure generally allows for efficient trimming, and plants can develop stacked secondary tops when trained.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a prominent burst of lemon oil and lime zest, evolving into a sweet, candy-like scent reminiscent of lemon-lime soda. As the flower matures, notes of lemongrass and subtle floral undertones emerge. Breaking apart cured buds can release additional layers of kaffir lime leaf and sweet citrus peel.
Flavors closely mirror the aroma, with a sharp lemon entry, a sweet lime-candy mid-palate, and a slightly bitter citrus peel finish. Some users detect an effervescent quality, while combustion may introduce a faint herbal or peppery note. The candy-like sweetness is a persistent element across different consumption methods.
Effects
87 Lem X Limepop is generally considered a daytime-friendly strain, aligning with consumer interest in uplifting profiles. Its effects are often described as energetic and suitable for daytime activities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile is notable for its citrus-forward characteristics, with Limonene, Caryophyllene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene being mentioned. These contribute to the strain's distinct lemon-lime aroma and flavor. THC levels typically range from 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%.
Growing
As a mostly sativa cultivar, 87 Lem X Limepop exhibits sativa-leaning morphology, including longer internodes and significant stretch after flowering begins. The influence of the Limepop genetics can result in tighter bud density compared to traditional sativas. The strain is noted for its potential for vigorous outdoor performance and good resin production.
Growers may find the calyx-to-leaf ratio favorable for easier trimming. The plant's structure and terpene profile are also considered beneficial for both flower and extract markets. Attention to canopy management is advised to optimize bud density, especially in indoor environments.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Lempire Farmaseed, 87 Lem X Limepop is a hybrid cross created by merging an '87 Lem selection with a modern Limepop line. The '87 Lem parent is described as an old-school lemon variety, likely contributing classic West Coast citrus notes and a limonene-dominant profile. Limepop is thought to add a contemporary lime-candy sweetness and a brighter aroma.
This cross is presented as a continuation of Northern California's citrus cannabis tradition, aiming to pair traditional terpene profiles with modern resin production. The breeder's philosophy emphasizes strong outdoor performance and vibrant terpene expression.
