How to grow Lemon Kush
Taste
Seb's take
A four-way indica-dominant hybrid of Afghani, South American, Lemon G and Master Kush stock that earned a place on the Dutch medical scene back in the 1990s. Lemon, citrus and pungent sweetness give it a properly lip-puckering nose, and the high runs happy, relaxed and euphoric. Easy enough for a first-time grower.
Where it comes from
Herbies carry Lemon Kush, a four-way indica-dominant hybrid drawn from Afghani, South American, Lemon G and Master Kush stock. The blend was made to amplify the traits its parents share, chiefly the unique citrus aroma and the equally strong, lip-puckering flavour. It became a fixture of the Dutch scene back in the 1990s, and it remains highly recommended for aspiring growers for how easily it takes to cultivation, indoors or out. A well-travelled pedigree, distilled to its citrus essentials.
Nose & flavour
Lemon leads, sharp and lip-puckering, with a broader citrus around it and a sweetness underneath, all grounded by an earthy, pungent base. It is a vivid, sour-sweet profile, the citrus loud and the earth keeping it honest, exactly the strong-flavoured character the breeding was chasing. A forthright, appetising nose with real bite to it, and one that lingers well past the first impression.
The high
Bright and buoyant despite the indica lean. The effect runs happy, relaxed and euphoric, with an uplifted, energetic edge that keeps the head engaged rather than settled. It is a cheerful, well-rounded high, the citrus brightness reflected in the mood, balancing lift and ease without tipping fully into either. Sociable, upbeat company, and an easy one to enjoy across most of the day.
Growing it
Easy enough for a first-time grower, cultivated readily both indoors and out, which is much of its enduring appeal. She runs a medium 140 to 150cm, so allow her a little room. Flowering takes 56 to 63 days, and she returns a healthy 488 to 610 g/m². THC is quoted at a strong 25 to 27 percent, with CBD at 1 percent, so the potency is considerable behind the friendly reputation. A forgiving, high-yielding, sharply flavoured plant, and a proven one, given how long it has kept its place.
