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.

About Lemon Tree
Lemon Tree, a hybrid strain with THC levels ranging from 17% to 25%, is produced by crossing Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel. It features a unique citrus-diesel flavor profile and is particularly appealing to growers due to its relatively high yields and manageable growth characteristics.
Effects people report
The high from Lemon Tree starts with uplifting euphoria, making it ideal for daytime use. As the effects progress, it transitions into a relaxed state that remains clear-headed, lasting about 2-3 hours before gradually fading. The balance of effects allows for both creativity and calmness, making it versatile for various activities.
Flavor and aroma
Upon opening the jar, Lemon Tree exudes a strong citrus aroma with hints of diesel. The inhale is dominated by sharp lemon flavors, while the exhale leaves a subtle diesel undertone that rounds out the experience. Proper curing enhances these flavors, ensuring a delightful smoking experience.
Growing notes
In indoor environments, Lemon Tree thrives with controlled temperatures around 70-80 deg F and humidity levels of 40-50% during veg, increasing to 50-60% in week 6 of flower. Outdoors, it prefers warm climates with plenty of sunlight, achieving medium to tall heights. Apply topping around day 21 of veg to encourage bushier growth and improve light penetration. Start feeding at an EC of 0.8 and increase by 0.2 weekly, peaking at 1.4 in week 6 of flower. Target a PPFD of around 600 µmol/m²/s for optimal growth. Harvest when trichomes show mostly cloudy with about 10% amber for a balanced effect, and ensure good airflow to minimize mold risk during week 7 of flower.
Grower tips
- Top at day 21 of veg for bushy canopy
- Maintain humidity at 40-50% during veg and 50-60% in late flower
- Start feeding at 0.8 EC and ramp to 1.4 by week 6
- Aim for 600 µmol/m²/s light intensity during flower
- Check trichomes starting week 6 for optimal harvest timing
- Ensure good airflow to prevent mold
- Use LST to manage height and improve yield.
Common mistakes
- Overwatering early can lead to root rot
- Poor airflow increases the risk of mold in dense buds
- Letting late-flower humidity exceed 60% can cause bud rot
- Delaying topping can result in an uneven canopy and lower yield.
Expert insight
Given Lemon Tree's high resin production, maintaining optimal humidity levels during late flower is crucial to preserve terpene profiles. Too much humidity can lead to mold, diminishing the quality of the final product.
Who should grow Lemon Tree?
Lemon Tree is ideal for indoor growers who utilize topping and LST techniques for canopy management. It's also suitable for those in warm climates looking for a strain that produces high yields with moderate care.
How it compares
Compared to Sour Diesel, Lemon Tree has a more pronounced citrus flavor and slightly lower THC levels. In contrast to Lemon Skunk, Lemon Tree offers a more balanced effect profile, combining euphoria with relaxation. Gelonade, another hybrid, tends to have a fruitier flavor and offers a more energetic high.
