About Lemon Skunk

DNA Genetics created Lemon Skunk by crossing two specific selections of Skunk #1 chosen for their pronounced lemon characteristics. The maternal line was sourced from the Las Vegas cut, a long-held selection attributed to Lemon Man, while the paternal line was a Dutch selection provided by a former Netherlands seed bank owner. This hybrid gained significant recognition in the late 2000s, including a first-place finish for Indoor Hydro at the 2008 Spannabis, first place Outdoor at the 2007 Highlife Cup, and inclusion in High Times' Top 10 Strains of 2009.

The flavor profile is defined by sharp lemon peel and sweet citrus, balanced by pungent skunk, earthy herbs, and peppery spice. Reported effects include an upbeat, happy experience that provides focus and energy, eventually transitioning into a smoother, more relaxed state.

Plant characteristics

The plants grow relatively short, featuring light-green foliage and dense, compact flowers accented by thick orange pistils.
