Super Lemon Nasty
Super Lemon Haze × GMO × Chemdog × OG Kush
Super Lemon Nasty is a sativa-leaning cultivar recognized for its prominent lemon aroma layered with a distinct, savory funk. Emerging in the early 2020s, this strain is often found as a boutique offering, appreciated for its bright citrus notes and energetic effects.
Appearance
Super Lemon Nasty typically develops into medium-density, conical or spear-shaped buds. These colas feature a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio and prominent bracts that appear sugared due to abundant trichomes. Healthy plants display tight internodal spacing and a dense resinous coating, with colors ranging from bright green to lime, occasionally showing purple streaks under cooler temperatures. Pistils often start as vivid tangerine and mature to amber.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Super Lemon Nasty is characterized by an initial burst of clean, bright lemon zest, often perceived with a candied quality. Beneath this prominent citrus layer lies a deeper, savory undercurrent described as funky, gassy, or skunky. Grinding the flower intensifies this complex profile, revealing a balance that can shift from predominantly citrus to a more even mix of lemon and funk, with notes of diesel and rubber sometimes present.
Effects
Consistent with its sativa-leaning genetics, Super Lemon Nasty is known for producing energetic, head-forward effects. Users report a rapid onset that can enhance focus and elevate mood, leading to a lively experience. The effects are generally described as functional, with a clean taper that typically avoids heavy sedation unless consumed in high doses.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically exhibits high THC content, often testing between 20-28% THCA, with CBD levels remaining below 1%. Total terpene content is generally robust, frequently reported between 1.8% and 3.2% in well-cured material. Limonene is commonly the dominant terpene, contributing to the strain's citrus profile, supported by notable levels of caryophyllene, terpinolene, and ocimene. Humulene and linalool may also be present.
Origins & Lineage
While a definitive, standardized pedigree is not widely established, Super Lemon Nasty is believed to stem from genetics that combine citrus-forward strains like Super Lemon Haze with fuel-heavy varieties such as GMO, Chemdog derivatives, or OG Kush. This breeding logic aims to fuse the bright lemon notes with a more profound, savory, or gassy aroma profile, reflecting a trend in breeding for complex flavor and high resin production.
Growing
Cultivating Super Lemon Nasty typically involves a flowering period of approximately 63 to 70 days. Indoor yields can range from 450 to 650 grams per square meter in optimized environments. Outdoor harvests in temperate climates are usually expected in mid to late October. Success in cultivation is significantly influenced by environmental controls and post-harvest techniques, which can impact terpene expression and overall yield.
