Lemon G is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar bred from the combination of G-13 and Durban Poison. This strain is cultivated both indoors and outdoors, requiring a moderate level of grower expertise to reach its high-yield potential, with a flowering period that spans approximately 70 days. Its genetic impact on the market is significant, as it has served as a parent strain for a diverse array of offspring including Blue Slurpee, Junkiez, Snake Eyes, Bubbamaniac, Bushmaster, Citrus Soda, Death by Lemons, Dock's Pide, Electric Lemon G, Lemon G Bx1, Lemon G x 88 G13 Lemon Hashplant, and Lemon G x Monster Cookies.
The chemical profile of Lemon G is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes starting with dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary components. The complete aromatic and flavorful profile is further rounded out by bisabolol, linalool, humulene, guaiol, ocimene, beta-pinene, pinene, camphene, and alpha-terpinene. These compounds work in concert to establish the unique sensory identity of the flower, ensuring a precise expression that reflects its specific terpene dominance.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Lemon G is characterized by its ability to induce effects of creativity, uplifted spirits, and happiness. These primary attributes make the strain a preferred selection for users seeking to enhance creative projects, engage in social settings, or maintain focus. The combination of its distinct genetic history and reliably stimulating effects has solidified its role in both modern breeding programs and as a functional tool for daytime use.

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