Lemon Glow CBD
High-CBD genetics × Limonene-dominant phenotypes
Lemon Glow (CBD) is an indica-dominant hemp cultivar that emerged following the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, developed to offer prominent citrus aromas with minimal THC. It gained popularity for its bag appeal, compliance, and consistent lemon-forward profile.
Appearance
Lemon Glow (CBD) typically features medium-density flowers with tightly packed, trichome-covered calyxes. The buds display vibrant lime and olive green hues, often accented by lemon-yellow pistils that mature to orange. The plant structure is moderately vigorous with symmetrical branching, suitable for various cultivation environments.
Aroma & Flavor
This cultivar is characterized by a bright, lemon-peel aroma, often accompanied by secondary notes of lemongrass, sweet diesel, or faint candy. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a clean, citrus-forward experience that is appealing to consumers seeking fruit-forward profiles.
Effects
As a CBD-dominant hemp cultivar, Lemon Glow (CBD) is primarily sought for its non-intoxicating properties, with THC levels kept below regulatory thresholds. Consumers often report a clean, uplifting character, making it suitable for daytime use without significant psychoactive effects.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Lemon Glow (CBD) is noted for its terpene-rich profile, with limonene often being the dominant compound, complemented by myrcene and beta-caryophyllene. Other terpenes like ocimene and valencene may also be present in smaller amounts. The cannabinoid profile is characterized by high CBD content (often in the low-to-mid teens) and very low THC (typically below 0.3%).
Growing
Lemon Glow (CBD) is generally considered manageable to grow, with growers often noting predictable terpene expression and THC accumulation patterns. Careful harvest timing, typically between days 42-56 of flowering, is crucial for maintaining compliance while maximizing CBD and terpene development. The plant structure supports efficient trimming and good shelf appeal.
Origins & Lineage
Lemon Glow (CBD) originated from breeding programs focused on developing flavorful, terpene-rich CBD cultivars after the 2018 Farm Bill. While specific parentage varies by breeder, it generally traces back to high-CBD genetics, with selections made for phenotypes exhibiting dominant limonene and citrus characteristics. The goal was to create a compliant hemp strain with a bright, lemony profile.
