Citrus 25
Tangie-heritage hybrids × Lemon-forward lines
Citrus 25 is a modern hybrid cannabis cultivar recognized for its prominent citrus aromas and balanced, uplifting effects. The name often signifies a high-potency phenotype selected from a larger breeding selection, rather than a fixed genetic ratio.
Appearance
This cultivar typically develops medium-sized, dense buds with a conical shape and a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The flowers are characterized by abundant trichomes, giving them a sugary appearance, and are often streaked with vibrant orange pistils. Some phenotypes may exhibit subtle lavender hues under specific environmental conditions.
Aroma & Flavor
Citrus 25 is celebrated for its pronounced citrus-forward aroma, often reminiscent of fresh citrus peel and juice. The flavor profile mirrors this, delivering bright notes of lemon and grapefruit, frequently complemented by undertones of candy, cream, and floral notes.
Effects
Consumers often report that Citrus 25 provides clean, uplifting effects that are well-suited for daytime use. The experience is frequently described as promoting creativity and offering a clear-headed euphoria, making it suitable for light social settings or functional activities when heavy sedation is not desired.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain is typically dominant in limonene, contributing to its signature citrus scent and flavor. Other terpenes commonly found include caryophyllene, myrcene, ocimene, and valencene, which add complexity to the aroma and effects. THC levels are consistently reported in the mid-to-high range, often exceeding 20%, with CBD content usually below 1%.
Origins & Lineage
While precise lineage varies by producer, Citrus 25 is generally understood to be a phenotype-driven hybrid that emerged from the popularity of Tangie and other citrus-forward genetics. It is often associated with crosses involving Tangie, Clementine, or Lemon Skunk, potentially blended with dessert or OG lines. The '25' designation typically refers to a specific keeper phenotype selected during a breeding program.
Cultivation
Growers find Citrus 25 to be a manageable cultivar, suitable for intermediate cultivators. It is noted for a moderate flowering period and a good response to training techniques, often producing dense, resinous colas. Careful drying and curing are recommended to preserve its volatile terpene profile.
