Lemon Crème
Lemon Crème is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar derived from the parent strain Sour Cream. A versatile plant that performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, it requires moderate cultivation skill to reach its full potential. Growers can expect a high yield from this strain, which typically completes its flowering cycle over 73 days. This genetic foundation has further influenced the development of new varieties, serving as a notable parent to the offspring known as Sól Love.
The chemical profile of Lemon Crème is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy led by myrcene as the primary constituent, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, and linalool. The secondary and tertiary notes consist of beta-pinene, pinene, terpinolene, bisabolol, and caryophyllene-oxide. This specific distribution of terpenes informs the sensory experience, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor profile that reflects this diverse botanical arrangement.
As a THC-dominant strain, Lemon Crème is utilized primarily for its capacity to induce creative, uplifted, and euphoric effects. These properties make it a functional choice for users seeking to enhance creativity, support social interaction, or improve focus during various activities. Its reported therapeutic and recreational applications are a direct result of its unique cannabinoid and terpene interaction, cementing its utility for those requiring a clear-headed yet elevated experience.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.

Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
