Lemon Z Feminized Seeds (Dutch Passion)

Lemon Z is a sticky, resin-covered cannabis seed variety with a very fresh and fruity terpene profile. This USA cannabis strain is based on our classic Lemon ‘Z*******’’ (AKA our Original ‘Z’) genetics and is an upgrade to improve the stability and flowering time of the strain. So this is a new cross - but with the same delicious, sweet, sour, citrus-dominant terpene profile. The combination of the Lemon Skunk with the original Z (Z*******’) and Lemon Tree genetics gives this strain an excellent flavour profile as well as high potency.The extremely high THC percentage averages around 20%, but can even reach higher in many cases.

Lemon Z is known for her very fruity citrus aroma and flavour. During the creation of this feminised seed variety, the terpene profile was the most important characteristic to preserve. Furthermore, she can produce very heavy yields. Besides the abundant terpenes, the trichomes are also packed with cannabinoids. The THC levels fall into the very high category, with some extremes. Around 20% is usually average, and in some cases, it can be higher.

Lemon Z from Dutch Passion is an old friend, but with a new look! Our big winner of the HighLife Cup in 2018 (1st prize Best Sativa, known as Lemon Z*******’  in those days, which became Lemon Kix after a copyright dispute) and overall prize winner (1st place) of the highly sought after ‘HighLife trophy with the big ears’ for Best Weed Overall. 

These prize winning citrus genetics have been further developed and stabilised over recent years. By adding the powerful Lemon Tree genetics to the new cross, this feminised weed seed variety has become more stable and a little faster in terms of flowering time. But still with the high yield and that classic fruity, lemon-rich and penetrating terpene profile that our original Lemon ‘Z*******’ was known for. 

The genetic line of our Lemon Z strain is a cross of a Las Vegas Lemon Skunk x the original Z which was crossed with Lemon Tree at a later stage. A combination of Lemon Sativa genetics with a dash of Lemon Indica genes makes for a powerful strain with real ‘hybrid vigour’ and a nice, solid layer of resin!

The high of Lemon Z is powerful and long-lasting, the high potency and refined terpene profile makes for an extremely relaxing and enjoyable high. The high is typically a mix of both mental and physical effects with the mental component (the "head high”) usually dominating. For most users, this strain feels uplifting and energising. But thanks to her small amount of Indica genetics, she never becomes too trippy or racy. This is a truly enjoyable hybrid high that energises yet relaxes at the same time. The relaxed feeling of the high is partly due to the introduction of Indica genetics from Lemon Tree. The strong lemony terpene profile, combined with the woodier and earthier notes of this strain complements the new hybrid and elevates the overall experience. 

Due to the very high THC levels, typically around 20%, this feminised marijuana seed variety is suitable for experienced users. For beginning growers/smokers, we recommend consuming this strain in moderation. But whatever you do, savour the delicious lemon-dominant aroma and flavour to the fullest!

Lemon Z has an average flowering time of about 9 weeks. In rare cases, you'll find a faster phenotype that's ready to harvest after about 8 weeks. However, the flowering time is usually around 63-65 days. If conditions are far from optimal, this can increase to about 70 days (10 weeks) from the start of the 12/12 indoor light cycle. More foxtails may also develop, further extending bloom. Given the sativa-dominant appearance, she finishes flowering relatively quickly. 

Outdoors, the flowering time is roughly the same, around 63-65 days. But the precise timing depends on the exact location/latitude where she is grown. Near the equator, where daylight hours average between 12 and 13 hours per day, she will automatically start flowering as soon as she's placed outdoors. You can harvest her about 9-10 weeks later. In a temperate climate in the Northern Hemisphere, she will be ready around early to late October, depending on the climatic conditions of the growing location. She grows best outdoors in a warm, dry, and sunny Mediterranean climate, but this doesn't mean she can't be grown outdoors in other climates. It just requires a little more attention and care.

Lemon Z has a very high XL yield with an average-to-long stretch period. Most stretching occurs during the first two weeks after the light cycle is set to 12/12, with a slightly slower stretch in the third week. During this third week you will see the first white pistils appear and the plants will develop an increasingly strong aroma. These plants have a relatively stretched, open Sativa structure of average height. She remains very manageable.

When grown indoors in a controlled environment by an experienced grower, Lemon Z yields of approximately 500-550g per m² are possible. Outdoors, in open ground or as a single plant in a very large pot, a yield of approximately 500-750g is possible. Depending on the climate and the size of the pot, the yield will range from a few hundred grams to a kilogram. It's not the highest yield, but the quality makes growing this strain more than worth it. Highly experienced growers will achieve even higher yields with the right products and cultivation methods.
