Terpinolene (primary terpene; herbal, woody, floral notes with citrus undertones; found in tea tree, lilac, cumin, apples); Limonene (sharp lemon-peel aroma; mood-elevating properties; found in citrus rinds)

Beta-Caryophyllene (spicy, peppery depth; earthy warmth; acts as cannabinoid binding to CB2 receptors); Ocimene (sweet, herbaceous notes); Myrcene (earthy, musky undertones); Beta-Pinene and Alpha-Pinene (fresh pine aromatics); Beta-Phellandrene (peppery, woody, minty nuances)

Mental stimulation and enhanced focus; Creative inspiration and novel thinking; Mood elevation and happiness; Energy without jitters; Enhanced sociability; Moderate to strong appetite stimulation; Slight body relaxation without sedation; Clear-headed cerebral effects

Inhalation: 2-4 hours total duration; Edibles: 4-6+ hours with delayed onset of 45-90 minutes; Peak effects: first 90-120 minutes

Rapid onset within 1-5 minutes when inhaled; Begins with subtle mood lift and gentle pressure behind eyes; Builds into pronounced cerebral activation with clear-headed energizing rush within 10-15 minutes; Smooth progression compared to high-THC sativas; Steady building wave of euphoria and focus; Peak experience occurs in first 90 minutes to 2 hours; Light pleasant physical relaxation without couch-lock

Dry mouth and dry eyes (very common); Anxiety or paranoia at higher doses or in sensitive individuals; Mild dizziness in novice users; Occasional racing thoughts or overstimulation in anxiety-prone individuals; Easily managed with proper hydration and dosing

Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

Late-night use for those sensitive to stimulation; High-stress situations where anxiety could be amplified; Tasks requiring precise motor skills or operating machinery; Individuals prone to anxiety or paranoia without low-dose introduction; First-time cannabis users without guidance

Created by Franco Loja and Arjan Roskam at Green House Seed Company (Amsterdam) in late 1990s to early 2000s; Cross of Lemon Skunk x Super Silver Haze; Super Silver Haze is a three-way cross of Skunk #1, original Haze genetics, and Northern Lights #5; Lemon Skunk created from two Skunk phenotypes selected for lemony aromatics; Won High Times Cannabis Cup 2008 & 2009, Medical Cannabis Cup, and Spannabis Cup; Genetic lineage traces to Colombian, Mexican, Thai, South Indian, and Afghani landraces

THC: 15-25% (most batches 18-22%; premium phenotypes up to 25%); CBD: <1% (typically 0.3-0.5%); CBN: 1-2% (inherited from Super Silver Haze parent; higher than typical for fresh cannabis); High-potency category; Not suitable for high-CBD applications; Entourage effect well-balanced with terpinolene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene working synergistically with THC

Lemon Haze (close genetic relative; similar sativa-dominant profile with citrus terpenes; slightly more relaxing effects; lower average THC; less pronounced haze character); Super Silver Haze (direct parent; shares energizing cerebral effects and haze genetics; less citrus-forward; more earthy and spicy); Jack Herer (comparable cerebral stimulation and creative effects; award-winning sativa hybrid; more piney and less citrusy; different terpene profile with pine and pepper notes); Green Crack (similar daytime energy and focus; highly motivating; fruitier mango-like aroma; faster flowering; more indica structure); Tangie (bright citrus aromatics and uplifting effects; more tangerine than lemon; less haze influence; sweeter profile)

Good resistance to Botrytis (gray mold) due to resinous trichome coverage; Can handle moderate humidity (45-55% RH) during flowering; Ideal temperature: 68-80°F (20-27°C) day with slight cooling at night; Sensitive to nutrient burn despite size; Lighter feeding schedules recommended; Not recommended for first-time growers; Requires attention and height management

9-12 weeks flowering period (most finish 9-10 weeks indoors); Northern Hemisphere outdoor harvest: mid-to-late October; Southern Hemisphere outdoor harvest: mid-April; Extended flowering time characteristic of sativa genetics; Necessary for full terpene and cannabinoid development

Indoor: 600-800 grams per square meter (approximately 28 ounces/m²); Outdoor: 800-1200+ grams per plant (approximately 35+ ounces/plant); Optimized through proper training, support structures, and maximum light exposure; Hydroponic systems produce highest quality with fully expressed terpenes

Classic sativa growth patterns: tall, stretchy plants with elongated colas; Indoor: 5-7 feet (training techniques recommended); Outdoor: 12-16+ feet (tree-like structures); Christmas tree/conical shape with narrow sativa leaves; Long wide branches requiring support during flowering; Significant stretch period after flowering transition; Widely-spaced internodes; Screen of Green (ScrOG), Low-Stress Training (LST), and topping commonly used

Dense resinous buds heavily coated in trichomes (silvery/crystalline appearance); Bright green coloration with vibrant orange or amber pistils; Sharp lemon-citrus aroma with herbal and earthy undertones; Sticky to touch but properly dried and cured (not wet or overly dry); Minimal stem and leaf material (careful trimming); No mold, mildew, or pest damage; Fresh aroma without mustiness
