Mr Sugar Lemon Haze by Mr Hide Seeds
Unknown × Unknown
Mr. Sugar Lemon Haze is a predominantly sativa cultivar developed by Spanish breeder Mr. Hide Seeds. It aims to enhance the classic lemon Haze profile with a notable sweetness and crystalline appearance. This strain is sought after for its daytime energy and bright citrus aromatics.
Appearance
This cultivar typically exhibits medium-long internodes and a classic sativa structure, which can become more compact with training. Expect elongated, tapering colas that develop well on a flat canopy, alongside secondary bud sites on lateral branches. The buds are of medium density for a Haze, firming considerably under strong lighting and good airflow, often appearing dusted with a heavy trichome layer.
Coloration ranges from lime to forest green, with neon yellow highlights and pistils that mature from pale peach to deeper orange. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable for trimming, especially with proper defoliation. Some phenotypes may show slight foxtailing under heat stress, a trait common in Haze varieties, but this can be managed with stable canopy temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
Aromatically, Mr. Sugar Lemon Haze prominently features fresh lemon peel and lemon candy, with a bright, zesty top note that is immediately identifiable as citrus. Underlying these bright notes are sweet, sherbet-like layers that contribute to the strain's name. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a distinct citrus taste complemented by sweetness and subtle herbal and peppery undertones.
Effects
Mr. Sugar Lemon Haze is generally sought for its stimulating and uplifting daytime effects. It is described as providing brisk energy and an upbeat, social profile that leans more towards stimulation than sedation. The effects are reported to set in quickly and taper off smoothly over a few hours, making it a reliable choice for daytime use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages are not detailed, the THC content typically ranges between 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is characterized by Limonene, contributing to the citrus notes, and Caryophyllene, which can add peppery nuances. Other terpenes like Linalool, Pinene, and Terpinolene may also be present, contributing to the overall aroma and effect profile.
Growing
This sativa-dominant cultivar is considered grower-friendly, displaying manageable internode spacing when trained correctly. It exhibits predictable stretch, typically 1.5 to 2 times its height after the light flip, and responds well to topping and high-intensity training methods like SCROG. Flowering time is generally around 9 to 11 weeks indoors, with outdoor plants potentially exceeding two meters in suitable climates. The plants show vigor and resilience to moderate training stress.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by the Spanish breeder Mr. Hide Seeds, Mr. Sugar Lemon Haze is a predominantly sativa strain. While the exact parental lineage is proprietary, its name and phenotype suggest a refinement of the classic lemon Haze lineage, possibly involving Lemon Skunk and a Haze variety. The breeder's focus was on enhancing lemon aromatics, increasing trichome density for a 'sugared' appearance, and optimizing a mostly sativa structure for modern cultivation and consumption preferences.
