Lemon Cake
Lemon Cake
Also known as: Lemon Pound Cake, Lemon Cheesecake
Overview
Lemon Cake is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (approximately 70% sativa, 30% indica) with conflicting genetic lineages depending on the breeder. The most commonly cited version by Heavyweight Seeds is a cross between Lemon Skunk and a potent Cheese strain, while another variant is created by crossing Lemon OG with Jesus OG. This strain emerged from renowned breeders and has gained significant popularity among cannabis enthusiasts worldwide. Lemon Cake exhibits a distinctive aroma profile that combines pungent citrus scents with musky undertones, truly living up to its name with sweet, tangy notes reminiscent of lemon cake batter. The buds display fluffy, neon green heart-shaped nugs with thin yellowish hairs and a dense coating of crystal-clear trichomes, creating an appealing frosty appearance. Originally popular primarily among cannabis connoisseurs, word-of-mouth praise has led to increased mainstream acceptance and availability in various forms including flower, concentrates, and cartridges.

Growing Information
Lemon Cake has a flowering time of 9-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically ready by mid-October. The strain is relatively easy to grow, preferring warm, semi-humid climates and showing good natural resistance to mold and disease. It produces generous yields, with indoor cultivation yielding 21-24 ounces per square yard. Plants grow 2.5-4.6 feet indoors, developing mossy green buds with subtle purple hues and dense resin-frosted nuggets that require support for their heavy colas. Growers should prepare for pungent aromas requiring good ventilation, and maintain proper air circulation and humidity control to prevent mold. Optimal growing temperatures range between 68-79°F, adapting well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with outdoor plants preferring Mediterranean-like, semi-humid environments.
