Grow facts come from the breeder first, then seed banks and strain databases. With 2 sources we show the range and the middle; with 3 or more, the range and the median, after leaving out values far from the rest. The breeder's own value is the anchor, unless it is far from every other source (outside their range and more than 20% from their median); then we show the full range and the median of all of them. A fact from a single source is marked "1 source", and a fact no source lists is left out. Yields are converted to one unit: indoor per square meter, outdoor per plant.

CTU writes every profile from these facts; we do not copy other sites' descriptions. Values that are a generic default in the source data are left out. Last checked Oct 21, 2026.

About Lemon OG

Lemon OG is listed in public strain databases as a hybrid from the breeder Apothecary Genetics. The parent strains on record are Lemon Skunk and OG #18.

How strong is Lemon OG?

Public listings give Lemon OG a THC level of 19%, which is below most strains we track. Compared with all strains in our research dataset that have their own THC figure, it is higher than roughly 30% of them. Potency varies by grower, batch and lab, so read these numbers as typical values, not guarantees.

Lemon OG aroma, flavor and terpenes

Its most-reported flavor notes are lemon, citrus and skunk. Its top listed terpenes are caryophyllene (peppery, spicy), myrcene (earthy, musky) and limonene (citrus). Caryophyllene is the lead terpene for about 24% of the high-confidence strains in our dataset, so it is a less common lead. Terpenes shape smell and taste; their levels change from batch to batch.

Reported effects of Lemon OG

Commonly reported effects: relaxed, sleepy, hungry, euphoric and tingly. These are user reports, not promises. Effects differ from person to person and depend on dose, setting and tolerance.
