Lemongrass is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Medellin. Designed for those seeking a balance of contemporary traits, this cultivar requires moderate experience to cultivate effectively. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield potential with a relatively efficient flowering period of 60 days.
The terpene profile of Lemongrass is anchored by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene, which are further rounded out by humulene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, borneol, camphene, geraniol, terpinolene, and ocimene. This complex chemical composition creates a distinct sensory signature that prioritizes a multi-layered aromatic experience. The influence of limonene and caryophyllene suggests a profile characterized by sharp, citrus-forward notes and a spicy, woody depth that lingers on the palate.
As a THC-dominant variety with 18.9% THC and 0.06% CBD, Lemongrass is associated with providing consumers with feelings of deep relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. Its therapeutic utility is primarily focused on the management of stress, physical pain, and the promotion of restful sleep. The genetic legacy of this strain is evidenced by its role in the development of its notable offspring, Runtz Pucker, which continues to carry the traits established by this modern hybrid.

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.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
