Lemon Punch
Lemon Punch
Overview
Lemon Punch is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the powerful Purple Punch and Lemon G strains. This distinctive cultivar combines the best qualities of both parents, delivering a sophisticated one-two punch of cerebral and physical effects. The strain has gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its unique balance of energizing sativa-like mental stimulation paired with relaxing indica-like body effects, making it versatile for various consumption preferences.
Visually, Lemon Punch presents striking long finger-shaped bright neon green nugs adorned with abundant thin orange hairs and a generous coating of tiny golden crystal trichomes. The strain's exceptional resin production makes it particularly attractive to extraction enthusiasts and hash makers. With its impressive THC content averaging 26-27% and CBD levels ranging from 1.13-1.31%, Lemon Punch delivers potent effects that appeal to experienced users while maintaining therapeutic potential through its balanced cannabinoid profile.
The strain's genetic lineage traces back to Lemon G, an indica-dominant hybrid derived from G13 and an unknown strain, crossed with Purple Punch, itself a cross of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple. This heritage contributes to Lemon Punch's complex terpene profile dominated by limonene, which gives the strain its characteristic citrus aroma and mood-enhancing properties, complemented by myrcene, terpinolene, and pinene that add depth to its effects and flavor profile.

Growing Information
Lemon Punch is considered moderately easy to cultivate and grows to medium height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation without requiring excessive vertical space. The strain has a flowering time of 52-61 days (approximately 7.5-8.5 weeks), which is relatively standard for hybrid varieties. Indoor growers can expect yields of around 400 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plant develops long, finger-shaped buds with excellent trichome production, making it attractive for hash and concentrate production. Due to its balanced genetics, Lemon Punch typically doesn't require extensive support structures but benefits from proper light penetration and air circulation during the flowering phase.
