FAQ

Lemon Kush: frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions people search most about Lemon Kush, each with its sources.

Is Lemon Kush indica or sativa?

A hybrid; the lean depends on the version. Leafly rates it mostly energizing, AllBud calls it 50:50, and most seed versions are listed as mostly indica, Humboldt Seed Company’s at 75%.1,2,3,4

What strain is Lemon Kush?

A lemon-scented Kush hybrid sold under one name by many breeders. Leafly calls Master Kush × Lemon Joy the general consensus, Alien Genetics’ version is Lemon G × Afghan Kush, and Weedmaps calls the origins unknown.1,5

What are Lemon Kush’s genetics?

Disputed. SeedFinder lists eight breeders’ versions with different parents, from Chitral Kush (Female Seeds) to Chemdawg × Lemon Thai × Pakistani Kush (Zambeza); the genetics page tables every account.4,6,7

Who created Lemon Kush?

No breeder has claimed the name. Alien Genetics describes making its own Lemon Kush from an Ohio Lemon G and a landrace Afghan Kush male but says it was never released in pure form.8

How much THC is in Lemon Kush?

The median is 15.53% across only 29 tests, a small sample; the middle half fell between 14.70% and 17.00%, and the highest result was 20.42%.9 Leafly lists 19% and Weedmaps about 20%, above nine tenths of our tests.1,5

Does Lemon Kush have CBD?

Usually very little: 7 of the 16 tests that reported CBD found none, none reached 1%, and the highest was 0.05%.9 AllBud’s 1% and United Cannabis Seeds’ 0–2% are not borne out by the tests.2,10

What terpenes are in Lemon Kush?

Our lab data cannot say: only 2 of the 29 tests reported individual terpene values, too few for a profile.9 Leafly lists myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene; Weedmaps and AllBud credit the lemon flavor to limonene.1,2,5

What does Lemon Kush taste and smell like?

Lemon and citrus over earthy Kush notes: Leafly users list lemon, citrus and lime, Weedmaps’ flavor poll is 42% lemon, and Wikileaf describes sweet lemon over dank earth and musk without a diesel edge.1,5,11

Does Lemon Kush make you sleepy or energetic?

By user reports, more energetic than sleepy: Leafly rates it mostly energizing with happy, giggly and uplifted as top effects, and Wikileaf says couch-lock is not often reported. Indica-leaning seed versions are described by their sellers as relaxing or calming.1,3,7,11

Is Lemon Kush the same as Lemon OG Kush?

No. Leafly’s Lemon OG, also known as Lemon OG Kush, is Las Vegas Lemon Skunk × The OG #18, an indica-dominant hybrid rated relaxed, sleepy and hungry.12

What is Lemon Kush Headband?

A different strain from Humboldt Seed Organization, bred from 215 Super-bud, an Emerald Headband male and an Emerald True OG male.13 It is more common in lab records than Lemon Kush itself: 119 results under that name against 29 tests of plain Lemon Kush.9

Is Lemon Kush Mints the same strain?

No. Weedmaps lists Lemon Kush Mints as a cross of Lemonade OG and Kush Mints with a sour-gas profile rather than plain lemon; crosses made from it are different strains again.14

How long does Lemon Kush take to flower?

It depends on the version: 55 days for Humboldt Seed Company’s and about 55 for Zambeza’s; 60 days to 10 weeks for Female Seeds’ line, depending on who lists it; Weedmaps gives nine to ten weeks.3,4,5,7,15
