Overview
Limoncello is a well-balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing The Original Lemonnade and Cherry Pie. Originally bred by Growing Passion, this award-winning strain captured international attention by winning the High Times Cannabis Cup gold medal for Best Sativa in both 2008 and 2009. The strain is predominantly sativa (80%) with indica influence (20%), creating a versatile hybrid that delivers both uplifting and relaxing effects. Limoncello produces compact, dense buds that display striking green and purple hues with vibrant orange hairs and a thick coating of milky white and amber trichomes. The plant structure typically resembles a Christmas tree at maturity, with thin sativa-like leaves and plenty of lateral branching. Known for its exceptional flavor profile and moderate THC levels ranging from 14-27%, Limoncello has become a favorite among both recreational users and medical patients seeking balanced effects without overwhelming potency.

Limoncello is considered an easy-to-moderate strain to grow, suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. It shows high resistance to common molds and mildew. Indoor flowering time is 10-11 weeks (70-77 days), with plants reaching 80-120cm in height and yielding approximately 600g/m². Outdoor harvest occurs in mid-October, with plants stretching up to 2 meters tall and producing up to 1.5kg per plant.

It thrives in various environments but prefers plenty of vertical space due to its sativa-leaning growth pattern.
