What Is Lemon Kush?
The origins of Lemon Kush are heavily disputed. It is generally agreed that this marijuana strain is a mix of the Lemon G Sativa marijuana strain and the Master Kush indica strain. The THC percentage of our lemon kush is somewhere between 16-26% on average, but of course some batches could test a bit higher or lower. Lemon Kush weed is a 50% indica, 50% sativa hybrid marijuana strain, and is a perfect balance between the two types. This ratio gives this kush an intriguing type of high, that not only satisfies the recreational cannabis population.
Aroma, Flavor and Appearance of Lemon Kush
The first smell that hits your nose as soon as you open up a container of this kush is the pleasantly overwhelming reek of citrusy sweet lemon as if you just tore a bag of lemonhead candies. Sometimes, the quality of the aroma can be surprising, that it might shock you to imagine that Mother Nature alone created something that smells so aromatic. Breaking apart the bud itself, the other underlying hints of earth and musk peak through the initial citrus sensation, a combination that is unlike many other cannabis strains.
The flavor of this Kush is also lemony and sweet. This cannabis type does not have any elements of a diesel or ammonia taste, which is what gives it its charm. The smoke is harsh and quickly fills up the lungs, thus inducing coughing due to its potent strength. The more it is consumed, the lungs become more adjusted to its ways.
This kush has yellowish-green yummy sugar leaves, blending sporadically amongst light orange pistils that seem to mesh well with the lemony aesthetic of the rest of the bud. The nuggets are thickly coated with a layer of shimmering crystals, which glisten with brilliance underneath the light and leave the consumer in pure awe. The massive accumulation of these trichomes signifies that the marijuana strain is potent, with a little going a long way.
The flowers themselves are quite dense, extremely sticky in nature, complex to crush down for consumption if you don’t have a grinder. Lemon Kush is challenging at times to trim, but easy-going once in a useable state. The plant is medium in height, typical of many hybrid strains, thus it can be grown in a number of spaces with different sizes.
How to Grow Lemon Kush
This kush is easy to grow and suitable for new growers, as long as the conditions and factors are monitored closely. It can thrive in either indoors or outdoors environments. Outdoor conditions have to be warm, dry and Mediterranean-like for the plants to grow easily. Indoors conditions are supposed to mimic these environmental elements as closely, with adequate ventilation additionally present.
Outdoor grown Lemon Kush seems to flourish better than indoor grown, with about 35 ounces per plant as an average yield for the plants outside and only 18 ounces per meter squared when inside. The flowering period is around 9-10 weeks, with outside harvest time around the end of September to the middle of October.
