Super Lemon OG
Las Vegas Lemon Skunk × The OG #18
Super Lemon OG is an indica-dominant hybrid created by crossing Las Vegas Lemon Skunk with The OG #18. This cultivar is recognized for its potent combination of bright citrus notes and the deep, heavy-hitting characteristics associated with OG genetics. It offers a balanced experience that appeals to both daytime and early evening use.
Appearance
Super Lemon OG plants typically grow to a medium stature with robust lateral branching and dense, heavy colas. The flowers are often compact and may take on a spear shape, densely packed with trichomes that give them a frosted appearance. Buds display colors ranging from lime to forest green, accented by vibrant orange pistils and sometimes hints of purple. The high resin content results in sticky buds.
The calyx-to-leaf ratio is generally favorable, simplifying the trimming process. Sugar leaves are often coated in trichomes, making them suitable for extraction. Due to the density of the flowers, maintaining good airflow within the canopy is crucial, particularly in humid conditions, to prevent potential issues.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Super Lemon OG is distinctly pungent, led by a prominent fresh lemon peel scent, reminiscent of its Lemon Skunk heritage. This bright citrus note is complemented by a strong skunky core and undertones of fuel and pine, characteristic of its OG #18 parentage. When the flower is ground, the bouquet intensifies, releasing a powerful blast of citrus and fuel with underlying earthy notes.
Consumers report flavors that align with the aroma, featuring a dominant lemon profile often accompanied by notes of candy, diesel, and earthiness. The presence of OG genetics contributes a deeper, more complex profile that can include floral and herbal nuances alongside the prominent citrus and orange notes.
Effects
Super Lemon OG typically delivers a layered effect, beginning with an uplifting and euphoric mental lift often associated with its citrus lineage. This is followed by a more grounded, heavy-hitting body sensation characteristic of its OG influence, which can lead to a balanced or slightly sedative finish. This combination makes it suitable for a range of activities and times of day.
Users often describe experiencing an energetic and focused state during the initial onset, which gradually transitions into a state of relaxation. The strain's profile is distinct from more purely Haze-derived lemon strains, offering a heavier body effect without sacrificing mental clarity or euphoria.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab results vary, Super Lemon OG is known to contain THC levels typically ranging from 15% to 25%, with CBD content usually below 1%. The terpene profile is characterized by Limonene and Pinene, contributing to its distinct citrus and pine aromas and flavors. The presence of these terpenes, alongside others from its OG lineage, influences the strain's overall sensory experience and effects.
Growing
Super Lemon OG is considered moderately easy to grow, often responding well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training. It tends to produce dense colas and benefits from support structures, such as stakes or nets, especially in the later stages of flowering due to the weight of the buds. Growers often aim for controlled environments to optimize its structure and yield.
The flowering period for Super Lemon OG typically aligns with indica-dominant hybrids. The plant's structure, with tighter internodes and a good calyx-to-leaf ratio, aids in efficient trimming. High yields can be achieved with proper cultivation techniques, nutrition, and environmental control, echoing the production potential seen in its OG Kush ancestors.
Origins & Lineage
Super Lemon OG is a hybrid strain resulting from the cross between Las Vegas Lemon Skunk and The OG #18. Las Vegas Lemon Skunk contributes a strong citrus profile, while The OG #18, a selection from the OG Kush family, provides potent THC content and a characteristic fuel-laced depth. This intentional pairing aimed to combine bright lemon characteristics with the robust body effects of OG strains.
The lineage is often cited as Las Vegas Lemon Skunk x The OG #18. This genetic makeup is consistent with consumer reports of a lemon-forward flavor combined with OG depth. The strain is distinguished from similarly named cultivars like Super Lemon Haze by its OG #18 parentage, which shifts its effect profile towards more pronounced body relaxation compared to Haze-dominant hybrids.
