Lemon Pound Cake is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar developed from its sole documented parent, Citron 1. This strain was engineered for a moderate cultivation difficulty, thriving across both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period. Its specific genetic lineage has also led to the development of notable offspring such as Rosé Pink.
The chemical complexity of this strain is defined primarily by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, myrcene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, and pinene. This terpene profile dictates the aromatic and flavor characteristics of the flowers, representing a precise blend of these seven chemical constituents.
As a THC-dominant cultivar with 22.2% THC, Lemon Pound Cake is sought after for its specific physiological impact, which presents as a state of being relaxed and focused. These effects make the strain particularly well-suited for addressing symptoms of pain, stress, and sleep. Beyond its utility, the plant remains recognized for its genetic contribution to newer lineages within the modern hybrid-indica classification.

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.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
