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 are some challenges of long flowering time strains?
Long-flowering strains reportedly require more time and more resources. To maintain a nourishing environment, it is said that more care must be taken with nutrients and pest control. This increases costs and requires more expertise.
Is myrcene just responsible for earthy, musky cannabis?
Myrcene is noted for its earthy and musky fragrance, but it can sometimes have a subtle citrus undertone.
Can 12/12 photoperiod hybrids flower faster?
Breeders have been working cross-breeding hybrids to meet the 12/12 light schedule and speed up flowering. These optimised hybrids can finish faster than other varieties without compromising yield or potency.
Were Sativa strains ever used for anything other than getting high or medicine?
Sativas' capabilities go beyond just these two things. Their strong fibres have been used to make ropes, clothes, and paper. This shows just how varied and valuable the cannabis plant has been even before its more modern uses.
Why are average-yielding cannabis strains said to be more sustainable for legal growers?
Water, nutrients, and light intensity are all reportedly less needed by these kinds of strains. Their sustainability and cost-effectiveness therefore often makes them more attractive than their high-yielding cousins.
