Super Lemon Haze CBD
Lemon Skunk × Super Silver Haze
Super Lemon Haze CBD is a sativa-leaning cultivar designed to offer the bright, citrusy profile of its namesake with a more accessible cannabinoid balance. This version typically features a near 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD, providing a clear-headed experience. It is a popular daytime choice for both new and experienced cannabis consumers.
Appearance
This cultivar generally presents as a vigorous, sativa-dominant plant with a tall, upright structure and abundant side branches. Plants can grow over 1.5 meters indoors and exceed 2.5 meters outdoors. The leaves are narrow, and the flowers tend to form elongated spears with moderate density, sometimes showing foxtailing. Buds are covered in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, and pistils mature to a vibrant orange against lime-green calyxes that may display subtle lavender hues in cooler temperatures.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a layered lemon profile, ranging from fresh zest to sweet candy and lemon balm. Underlying notes of pine and incense, inherited from its Haze lineage, are often present, alongside hints of pepper and basil. Upon combustion or vaporization, the flavor mirrors the aroma, with prominent lemon candy notes followed by an herbal, incense-like complexity and a zesty finish.
Effects
Super Lemon Haze CBD is known for providing a functional, clear-headed experience. Its balanced cannabinoid profile offers noticeable effects without the intensity often associated with high-THC sativas. It is frequently chosen for daytime use due to its uplifting and focused qualities.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific percentages vary by phenotype and breeder, Super Lemon Haze CBD typically exhibits a balanced cannabinoid profile, often around 6-12% THC and 6-12% CBD, with total cannabinoids frequently in the 14-22% range. Key terpenes include limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool, contributing to its distinct aroma and effects. Other terpenes like terpinolene, nerolidol, and valencene may also be present.
Origins and Lineage
Super Lemon Haze CBD is a variant of the original Super Lemon Haze, which was created by crossing Lemon Skunk with Super Silver Haze. The CBD version was developed by backcrossing the original with CBD-rich donor lines to achieve a stabilized 1:1 THC to CBD ratio. This breeding strategy aims to retain the iconic citrus flavor and uplifting effects while moderating the intensity of the THC.
Growing
As a sativa-dominant cultivar, Super Lemon Haze CBD typically exhibits tall growth with wider internodal spacing, requiring canopy management for optimal light distribution indoors. Flowering times are generally around 9 to 10 weeks. Yields are reported to be comparable to the original Super Lemon Haze. The plant shows high vigor and significant stretch during early flowering.
