Lemon Haze
Lemon Haze
Also known as: Super Lemon Haze, SLH
Overview
Lemon Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that has become a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent effects and distinctive citrus profile. This strain is the result of crossing Lemon Skunk with Silver Haze (also known as Super Silver Haze), creating a genetic combination that balances flavor and potency expertly. Originally bred in the late 1990s in Amsterdam by Green House Seed Company, specifically by Franco Loja, Lemon Haze burst onto the international scene with award-winning recognition, becoming a two-time High Times Cannabis Cup champion in 2008 and 2009. The strain is visually striking with buds that display yellow and green coloration, featuring amber and orange hairs seeping through dense trichomes that give it its distinctive yellow tint and frosty appearance. With THC levels typically ranging between 15% and 25%, Lemon Haze delivers potent psychoactive effects while maintaining the uplifting characteristics that sativa-dominant strains are known for. The strain has gained worldwide popularity, particularly on the U.S. West Coast and in British Columbia, where it continues to be celebrated for its consistent quality and reliable effects.

Growing Information
Lemon Haze is considered relatively easy to grow, even for novice cultivators, and is resistant to mold and common pests. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with some sources reporting up to 10 weeks for optimal development. Indoor yields can reach up to 475-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-800 grams per plant. The strain thrives in warm, sunny climates with temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C), though it adapts well to indoor environments with proper lighting. Plants can reach heights of 140-170cm indoors and may grow much taller outdoors, requiring adequate space and potential height management through training techniques like topping or SCRoG. The strain responds well to hydroponic setups and benefits from stable temperature and humidity control during flowering.
