Hashy lemon vs herbal lemon flavor

In 2009-2012 my buddy had this weed called “lemon kush”, buds were thin, elongated like a small green pepper, little to no orange hairs, delicate leaves comprising the bud itself absolutely coated in crystals, and very sticky unless they were dried out to a point where weed would normally crumble, in this strain the fluffy bud leaves might fall to the bottom of the bag but the shake was still sticky no matter how much it was dried out.

Pungent, hashy, piney, sweet, musky, earthy sour lemon flavor, that penetrated the whole room if you had an ounce.

It was very much a lemon dominant flavor, however I can’t find anything like it since.

In search of this phenotype I’ve tried at least 4 different strains with a similiar name:

Humboldt seed company “lemon kush”: nope, not it, this was lemony but more of a lemongrass herbal or rotten lemon flavor.

GHS lemon skunk, nope , not the same. this was good old school piney citrusy flavor, but nowhere near as pungent and sour.

Female seeds “lemon kush” - not it, this was a musky hazy, had some rotten lemon or lemongrass herbal notes and buds were more dense.

“Lemon sugar kush” this is from a local breeder and I’m still flowering it out, however I’m not sure it’s the same, buds are more dense and the lemon flavor is more of the herbal lemongrass or rotten lemons flavor so far, however I’ll have to wait and see.

Alot of the lemon strains seem to have more herbal notes or rotten lemon funk, or lemony lavender flavor, which is not what I’m after.

The lemon kush I remember, and the flavor that I’m going for is much more hashy.

HASHY, EARTHY, Sweet, piney, and SOUR,

Does anyone know of any genetics that might be similiar to this?

Weird. Pheno I have out of HSC lemon og
Is extremely resinous at an early stage of flower and throwing off a remarkable lemon scent that I can’t say iv ever experienced in weed. How many beans did you sprout? Cause that pheno is there

I post pics when lights up

The HSC beans I got were just called “lemon kush” maybe they have another called lemon og?
I just popped 1 bean and it was very lemony, interesting flavor just not the same.

It’s lemon kush on the pack. But the crossings I believe are og. It’s just not stated on the pack. But I could be mistaken and ill have to re read it.

for "hashy lemon" you might want to try Lemon Hashplant by Bodhi Seeds ;-)

This one looks like it might be close, I looked it up and a picture someone had posted on overgrow looked like similiar buds, however the stems looked thicker/ more typical of a chunky indica, the one I remember had somewhat thin stems.
I guess the parents are g13HP x Lemon G.

While looking that up I ran into another strain called lemon kush by alien genetics, which also has the lemon G parent
seed finder description:

“I made the Lemon Kush from the clone only Lemon G 3-4 years ago. The Lemon G was sourced from a friend in Ohio. The landrace Afghani Kush male that I dusted her with to make Lemon Kush was and is absolutely legendary. That old Afghan is one of my all time favorite secret weapon plants.

So the Lemon Kush in the Lemon Alien Dawg is a proprietary strain that has never been let out of the mothership in pure form.”

So I guess they don’t have that available, but I found the lemon G, (which is apparently a G13 x unknown lemon sativa) from Ohio organicx genetics , they got s1s

This weed was very distinctive in a number of different ways. In fact I’ve never seen any weed that even remotely resembles the appearance of the buds, or the flavor.
The buds were narrow and fluffy but dense with resin and mostly comprised of miniature fan leafs like a husk surrounding a very small cluster of calyxes. Normally you might trim off the leafs surrounding the buds but they were so delicate and small and completely covered in trichimes on both sides, they were intentionally left on and not trimmed off because they were part of the bud and mostly what comprised the bud. When they ended up at the bottom of the bag, the shake was just as sticky and just as tasty and potent as the calyx clusters. I’ve never seen any weed quite like it.
Every “lemon kush” I grew in no way resembled even the appearance of these buds, not even close.

The flavor was also very distinctive, and I’m familiar with many different lemon flavors in, weed, I’ve had strains like golden lemon which I like that has a more flowery lemon flavor, but although it’s similiar in the sense that it’s a lemony flavor, it’s not even close, and a completely different kind of lemon flavor if that makes sense.
These 4 strains I tried similiarly had a completely different terp profile than the lemon flavor that I remember. Not that they were bad, but just that it wasn’t anywhere near the same.
I know popping phenos from seed I’m not going to get the exact same thing, but I’m trying to find something similiar.

your probably not gonna find what you're looking for in seed form

try tracking down some clones

I'd start with Lemon Skunk and Lemon G...they both fit the description of the bud you're looking for

The GHS lemon skunk had the most similiar terp profile/ flavor because it had a similiar old school skunky hashy flavor but it was still much different and not as sour.
Yea maybe the lemon G

Sounds like outside grown by your description. Iv had flower that was super nice that swelled up so much over the leaves. That the oils and trichs just consumed the entire leaf. So I’d leave them on there to fold over the bud almost like a protective coating. When dry it was almost a shame to trim them off. The resin glands were so large the hash was incredible. I had white rhino grown outside do this for me.
Sometime you hit the lottery and get “great” genetics.

Yeah I’ve seen plants with frosted bud leaves but this one was on another level
It was definitely indoor though, I was able to get it consistently for years and I just took it for granted. Always bright green with a slight purple sometimes and perfect bag appeal.
I thought it might be in the skunk family but I’m not sure if any of the skunks were ever that sour.

Female lemon kush was pretty decent IMO. A friend grew out a while back. but then again I find most "kush" strains to be pretty lemony. Cant speak for Green House. After running their SLH I wouldnt go near them again

Female LK smelled amazing in flower, more hazy or musky than I’m going for but it smelled amazing nonetheless, then I f kd up curing it so the flavor didn’t pull through. Might have to try that one again. I got their auto kush going right now which is the lemon kush x auto, the description say it’s more narcotic buzz than the photoperiod.

Here we go
Pics of Lemon G from leafly

From a thread on Icmag
6CBC37B4-7094-42DF-A9AB-4C2A5EA24084.jpeg

THIS looks real similiar.

I found a few threads about the lemon G on icmag, and one on here too.
I guess it’s an underground Ohio strain, and as always there’s a bunch of different stories about what kind of cross it is but apparently it’s a G13 crossed with some type of columbian or Santa Marta or lemon skunk, something with columbian in it that gives it that pungent citrus.
Apparently reefermans love potions have almost the exact same flavor.

Also there might be two versions of it one denser and one more fluffier. icmag thread read there was some complaints about growing it and yield because it just stretched and produced airy nugs.

From what I read in the threads about the lemon g everyone basically said the same things though-
Pungent lemon pledge flavor, the strongest of any weed they’ve seen, and fluffy 1/8ths that look like 1/4s.
