Lemon Skunk OG is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that is a cross between two carefully selected Skunk phenotypes. This citrusy strain has moderate to high THC levels and can be enjoyed by most users for its’ mentally stimulating effects yet relaxing body high.
Cannabis strains are a pure or hybrid genetic variation of the plant Genus Cannabis. There are three main species: Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis.
Ruderalis is a particular strain that is not as popularly known as the others; however, it is a derivative of cannabis with the lowest THC levels.
Although they are popular among the cannabis community, hybrids are not considered a species as they are made of Sativa and Indica, with typically one or the other dominating the gene pool.
For marketing and medical marijuana purposes, cultivators will develop a cannabis strain to highlight specific desired characteristics, such as:
Color
Density
Flavor profile
Aroma
Medicinal benefits
Psychoactive effects
Cannabinoid percentages
THC vs. CBD content
Those within the cannabis community report nearly eight hundred unique weed strains worldwide, but that number has increased steadily.
It's important to remember that they all originated from landrace strains imported at some point in history. Different strains are created yearly as botanists experiment with crossing classic marijuana strains with hybrids to change their genetic qualities.
People illegally smuggled the cannabis plant into North America from outside countries in previous generations for decades. Landrace Sativa strains came from regions such as Thailand, South Africa, and Mexico, while landrace Indica strains originated from Afghanistan and India. Many classic and rare landrace strains got their names from the area of their origin.
Lemon Skunk OG is from DNA Genetics and crosses two Skunk phenotypes to make one lemony, pungent award-winning strain. It offers cerebral stimulation, creativity, and focus while relieving chronic pain with a sedating body high. The Lemon OG strain is most commonly found on the West Coast, particularly in California and Colorado.
Lemon Skunk’s intense lemon flavor hits nicely on the taste buds, followed by its sweet, creamy, skunky, and sour lemon undertones.
Lemon Skunk smells like a pungent skunky aroma with noticeable spicy and sweet lemon undertones giving this strain its unique smell.
A healthy and mature Lemon Skunk plant is bright green with lighter green on the leaves and flowers. The buds are sticky, aromatic, dense, and large, with a layer of glistening trichomes and neon thick orange hairs.
The Sativa genes of Lemon Skunk can effectively treat many medical issues, including:
depression
nausea
chronic pain
stress

The Lemon Skunk strain offers a THC content of around eighteen percent and one percent CBD. The highest THC tests for this strain show around twenty-two percent THC content.
Lemon Skunk OG plants have a flowering period of eight to nine weeks and are ready for harvest outdoors around mid-October. Lemon Skunk grows to produce a high yield of eighteen ounces per square meter indoors and a massive twenty-eight ounces outdoors per plant. This hybrid strain is easy for even novice growers and is best grown in a healthy outdoor setting with warmer and cooler climates if you are planning to grow your own lemon skunk.
Cannabis Sativa does well in warmer regions of the Earth and can thrive with high humidity levels. The typical locations where Sativa strains are grown are Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia. Sativa is tall and slender with thin, light green leaves.
Many people report that smoking Sativa makes them feel energized, creative and focused. These psychological effects make Sativa strains best for daytime use because using them at night may cause insomnia due to the higher THC levels.
Easing depression symptoms
Headache and Pain relief
Decreasing Nausea
Fighting appetite loss
Better Focus
Head High over Body High
Cannabis Indica is commonly found growing in the dryer climates of the Middle East. They are short and bushy with large, dark green leaves. The buds tend to be much denser in Indica versus Sativa. Indica strains have higher CBD content than Sativa.
Most Indica weed contains an almost even amount of CBD and THC levels. Since Pure Indica strains tend to be relaxing, they're best for nighttime use due to the intense body high.
Relieving intense body and muscle pain
Reducing nausea and increasing appetite
Easing insomnia and promoting healthy sleep
Reducing anxiety symptoms
Depending on the location and quality of the flower, a gram of the Lemon Skunk OG strain typically runs around fifteen dollars.

Cannabis strains are generally classified into three main types, each with distinct characteristics and effects:
Cannabis plants contain a variety of chemical compounds called cannabinoids and terpenes that contribute to the strain's effects, flavors, and aromas:
Selecting the right cannabis strain depends on individual preferences and desired effects. Consider the following factors when choosing a strain:
Cannabis affects everyone differently, so it's important to consume responsibly and start with a low dose, gradually increasing as needed to find your ideal experience. Be mindful of the method of consumption (e.g., smoking, vaping, edibles) as it can impact the onset and duration of effects.
