Lemon G × Snow Lotus
Lemon Lotus is a hybrid cultivar developed by Bodhi Seeds, recognized for its potent resin production and vibrant terpene profile. This strain is characterized by its pronounced citrus notes, balanced effects, and appealing bag appeal, making it a favorite among connoisseurs.
Appearance and Bud Structure
Lemon Lotus typically develops medium to large spear-shaped colas with dense calyxes and abundant trichomes. The flowers often display lime green to chartreuse hues, accented by orange or amber pistils. Its structure is well-formed, with moderate internodal spacing and vigorous lateral branching, contributing to a visually appealing and frost-covered appearance.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Lemon Lotus is dominated by bright citrus, reminiscent of lemon peel and cleaner, layered over a subtle backbone of pepper and pine. Upon breaking or grinding the flowers, herbaceous and sweet undertones emerge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering immediate lemon oil notes with a peppery exhale and a lingering, slightly sweet, citrusy finish.
Effects
Lemon Lotus is described as providing a buoyant and mood-lifting effect, often associated with daytime functionality. It delivers a focus-friendly high that is both balanced and lively, promoting an energetic headspace without overwhelming the user. This makes it suitable for consumers seeking an uplifting experience.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for Lemon Lotus is scarce, its profile is influenced by terpenes such as limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool, contributing to its citrus, peppery, and floral notes. The THC content generally ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%, indicating a predominantly psychoactive experience.
Growing Characteristics
Lemon Lotus is generally considered a well-behaved plant to cultivate, exhibiting moderate stretch and strong lateral branching. It is known for excellent trichome coverage, favoring both flower and extraction. Indoor grows typically have a 9 to 10-week flowering period, with competitive yields. Outdoor cultivation can yield upright, spear-shaped colas with a late September to early October finish in temperate climates.
Origins and Lineage
Bred by Bodhi Seeds, Lemon Lotus is a hybrid cross, widely reported to be derived from Lemon G and Bodhi's Snow Lotus male. Lemon G contributes dominant limonene aromas and an uplifting onset, while Snow Lotus enhances resin production, bud structure, and adds peppery and pine notes. This lineage results in a strain that combines bright citrus qualities with robust, resinous characteristics.
