Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This hybrid features a significant cannabinoid profile, with THC levels reported between 35% and 42%, indicating high potency. Minor cannabinoids, including CBD, are present in lower concentrations, typically below 1%, contributing to the entourage effect and potentially enhancing therapeutic properties.
The terpene profile is dominated by limonene and myrcene, which are responsible for the strain's signature citrus and earthy aromas. Other terpenes like caryophyllene and terpinolene also contribute to its complex scent and flavor notes.
Growing
The inclusion of ruderalis genetics contributes to Lemon OG's enhanced durability and a notably shorter flowering time compared to similar hybrids. This characteristic, along with its compact bud structure, makes it suitable for indoor cultivation.
Optimal growing conditions can lead to significant yields, with reports suggesting up to 550g/m². The strain's robust genetics and dense bud formation are key factors in its productive growth cycle.
Origins & Lineage
Lemon OG was meticulously bred by Dr. Blaze, merging ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. Its lineage is a cross between Lemon Skunk and The OG #18, a combination designed to produce vigorous growth and a distinct flavor profile.
This genetic cross results in a hybrid composition of approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa, with ruderalis contributing to its resilience and faster flowering. The refinement over several generations has led to improvements in yield and potency.
