Lemon Z is an easy cannabis strain to cultivate. Although primarily sativa-dominant in appearance and growth pattern, she has a clear dose of indica genetics. This makes her easy to manage when it comes to nutrient dosage. This lady can certainly take a beating. She's also suitable for any type of cultivation - whether it's soil, coco, or hydroponics.
Her more-open growth structure, with elongated branches and thin leaves, makes her ideal for SCROG cultivation or for growers who prefer LST or HST growing techniques. She's exceptionally easy to manipulate and train. During the flowering phase, she has a substantial stretch period, but this is certainly not extreme. She remains easily manageable at all times. Approximately 2-3 weeks into bloom Lemon Z continues to grow. During this period, trichome production also begins, and you'll see a beautiful white sheen develop on the leaves. The buds develop white hairs. A week later, enter the grow room and a powerful, penetrating lemon aroma greets you!
During weeks 4 & 5 of bloom, she truly begins to smell wonderfully, you'll see the buds swell and become increasingly white. The buds have relatively short internodal distances and grow beautifully dense. Lemon Z may develop foxtails towards the end of flowering; this is quite normal for this genetic line. Foxtails, where one calyx grows on top of a lower one, are sometimes known as a second internodal bloom. This is caused by plants trying to maximise bud production in combination with a certain genetic background. It also often results in airier buds that can better withstand higher temperatures and humidity.
Lemon Z is a sticky, resin-covered cannabis seed variety with a very fresh and fruity terpene profile. This USA cannabis strain is based on our classic Lemon ‘Z*******’ (AKA our Original ‘Z’) genetics and is an upgrade to improve the stability and flowering time of the strain. So this is a new cross - but with the same delicious, sweet, sour, citrus-dominant terpene profile. The combination of the Lemon Skunk with the original Z (Z*******) and Lemon Tree genetics gives this strain an excellent flavour profile as well as high potency.
Pinene, myrcene, and limonene are the three most dominant terpenes in this strain, giving Lemon Z a pleasantly energetic high. The mix of fruity and spicy terpenes also provides a refreshing flavour. Fruity notes of lemon alternate with fresher, sometimes woody and earthy notes of eucalyptus and pine. Expect relatively compact, sativa-dominant buds with a thick layer of resin and a pungent and inviting terpene profile. This is a strain to savour!
Lemon Z from Dutch Passion is an old friend, but with a new look! Our big winner of the HighLife Cup in 2018 (1st prize Best Sativa, known as Lemon Z******’ in those days, which became Lemon Kix after a copyright dispute) and overall prize winner (1st place) of the highly sought after ‘HighLife trophy with the big ears’ for Best Weed Overall.
These prize winning citrus genetics have been further developed and stabilised over recent years. By adding the powerful Lemon Tree genetics to the new cross, this feminised weed seed variety has become more stable and a little faster in terms of flowering time. But still with the high yield and that classic fruity, lemon-rich and penetrating terpene profile that our original Lemon ‘Z******’ was known for.
The genetic line of our Lemon Z strain is a cross of a Las Vegas Lemon Skunk x the original Z which was crossed with Lemon Tree at a later stage. A combination of Lemon Sativa genetics with a dash of Lemon Indica genes makes for a powerful strain with real ‘hybrid vigour’ and a nice, solid layer of resin!
