A predominantly Sativa hybrid, Lemon Candy is born from the crossing resulting from our own selections of HOG and NYCD. The result is a hybrid with a strong structure, medium yield (can reach up to 400 grams per square metre without much effort). When growing this plant, we must pay special attention to any light stress situation, as we have observed that this affects it, and often stops the formation of flowers, considerably diminishing production. This is a variety where a complex aroma predominates, where citrus scents mingle with sweet part brought the crossing by the mother HOG, and this may vary from one individual to another, where at the end of the flowering period some sweet skunk touches appear above the aromas. The effect is of medium strength, being active at the start, staying until the end, where the party Indica part appears providing a physical low that continues until the end of the effect. We recommend extractions with this variety, not so much for the yield we can gather, but for its quality, where all these characteristics are accentuated and over time eventually becoming one of our favourite varieties when doing dry extractions.

Strain FAQ
What distinguishes long-flowering time seed flavours?
Slow-flowering strains, often over 91 days, have more complex terpene profiles. This slow maturity reportedly creates a nuanced taste experience with earthy, piney, sweet, and fruity notes that aficionados value.
What contributes to the citrus flavour of this strain?
Velencene smells delicious and orangey, named after Valencia oranges. Though less frequent than limonene, it's a prominent terpene in orange-flavored strains.
How might this strain's North American and Canadian heritage influence it?
North American and Canadian strains have evolved or been intentionally selected to thrive in a wide range of temperatures, from the humid Southeast to the cooler, drier North. Strong plants that can withstand a variety of environmental circumstances are helpful for breeders trying to generate resilient hybrid strains.
