Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Lemon Head is a THC-dominant cultivar, with THC levels commonly ranging from 15% to 25%. Its terpene profile is rich, frequently led by limonene, with secondary terpenes such as caryophyllene, myrcene, ocimene, and humulene also present. Minor cannabinoids like CBG are typically found in modest amounts, while CBD is usually present only in trace quantities.
Growing
Lemon Head plants generally exhibit moderate internode spacing and respond well to training techniques. The flowering stretch is typically moderate, simplifying canopy management. Dense bud structures may benefit from defoliation to improve airflow. Growers can aim to stabilize specific phenotypes for consistent lemon intensity.
Origins & Lineage
The exact origin of Lemon Head is not definitively established, but it is often linked to the Pacific Northwest, with Royal Choice Farms mentioned in early records. Lineage claims vary, with some suggesting a cross involving a Lemonade strain and an OG or Kush variety, while others point to influences from Lemon Skunk or Lemon G. It consistently expresses traits associated with a lemon-forward parent and an OG/Kush-influenced genetic foundation.
