Lemon Punch

Purple Punch crossed with Lemon G produced Lemon Punch, a strain offered as flower; Leafly and AllBud both record that parentage. Both apply the hybrid label, and AllBud makes it an even split, 50% indica and 50% sativa.

Sour lemon over a hint of grape

AllBud describes the flavour as sweet and sour lemon-citrus with a light touch of fruity grape, and the aroma as sharply sour lemon with earthy herbs and a hint of spicy grape. Leafly’s flavour tags are lemon, citrus and diesel. Its reviewers fill in the detail: one, in July 2023, found it very lemony and gassy with a slight fruit-punch undertone, and another, in October 2023, also called it very lemony. A third, who tried Lemon Punch as a live resin cartridge in November 2023, tasted light citrus, pine and lemon.

Neon-green, finger-shaped buds

The buds, in AllBud’s description, are long, finger-shaped and bright neon green, with many thin orange hairs running through them and tiny golden trichomes on top.

Energy on the exhale, couch-lock later

On Leafly, the effect gauge for Lemon Punch points mostly to energizing, with energetic, focused and uplifted as the feelings reviewers report. The October 2023 reviewer describes a focused yet physically relaxing high that suited socialising, and the cartridge reviewer a clear-headed one. AllBud says the high reaches the head almost on the exhale, bringing energy and focus, before a body high spreads into the limbs and back and turns into heavy couch-lock; it also mentions a tongue-tingling smoke. AllBud’s average THC for the strain is 26% to 27%. Ratings stand at 4.4 from 20 on Leafly and 4.3 from 15 votes on AllBud.

Pacing a strain AllBud rates at 26% to 27% THC

Health Canada‘s opening dose for smoked cannabis is 1 or 2 puffs, and it would have those puffs come from flower at 10% THC or under; it also warns that a peak can take 30 minutes to build even though effects appear within seconds to minutes. Any driving should come 6 hours or more after the last puff, under its lower-risk guidelines.
