Lemon OG Strain: Lineage, Flavour and Effects

Lemon OG Strain: Lineage, Flavour and Effects
A note from Robert Misic

Lemon OG is mild by nature, so give it a fair test: break a bud open rather than sniffing the jar. You should get sweet lemon and pine over a light skunk; if even a broken bud smells of almost nothing, expect little flavour.

What Lemon OG is

Leafly files Lemon OG, also known as Lemon OG Kush, under hybrid and describes it as an indica-dominant cross of Las Vegas Lemon Skunk and The OG #18. AllBud lists the same parents but calls it an even 50/50 hybrid, and Weedmaps adds that The OG #18 is a cut of OG Kush and that the strain is most often attributed to Apothecary Genetics in Northern California. For what these labels mean in practice, see indica vs sativa vs hybrid.

Apothecary's own description on SeedFinder is shorter, giving the genetics simply as Lemon x OG, and SeedFinder files that cut as an indica. SeedFinder also lists about 6 Lemon OG versions from different breeders, so cuts can differ. SeedFinder and Weedmaps both report that Apothecary's Lemon OG placed second in the Outdoor Indica category at the 2018 Santa Cruz Cup, and Leafly lists Strawberry Lemonade and Lemonnade among its offspring.

Smell and taste

Leafly says Lemon OG picked up a skunky aroma from its Kush relatives but is mild tasting and pleasant smelling, with fruity undertones. Weedmaps describes bright citrus and skunky lemon peel over a heavier pine and fuel base that turns sweet on the exhale, and Apothecary sums up the taste as sweet lemon and pine. AllBud lists lemon and tangy flavours with citrus, earthy, pungent and sour aromas.

Leafly reviewers pick lemon, citrus and skunk as the top flavours, and Leafly's lab data lists caryophyllene, myrcene and limonene as the main terpenes, in that order.

Effects people report

Leafly reviewers (568 ratings) most often report feeling relaxed, sleepy and hungry, and Leafly rates the strain as mostly calming. Leafly and AllBud both say it works fast but does not last long, with Leafly describing a quick-acting, sleepy head sensation. Weedmaps describes an upbeat, clear-headed start that gives way to heavy-limbed calm, which is why many people save it for later in the day.

The negatives Leafly users mention most are dry mouth, headache and dry eyes. Start low, and follow Health Canada's lower-risk guidelines, which say not to drive for at least 6 hours after using cannabis.

How strong is Lemon OG?

Leafly lists 19% THC with 1% CBG, and AllBud lists 22% THC with 1% CBN. Published figures therefore run roughly 19 to 22%, but THC varies by grower and batch, so check the label on the product you buy.

Similar strains

These strains make up Lemon OG's parent lines:

  • Lemon Skunk: Leafly's genetics chart lists it as a parent, and Weedmaps names it as a similar strain.
  • OG Kush: The OG #18, Lemon OG's other parent, is a cut of OG Kush, according to Weedmaps.
