GREEN HOUSE LEMON SKUNK


So, now that it is on the catalogue and many growers are busy with it, let’s have a closer look to another new strain from Green House catalogue: Lemon Skunk.
The Lemon Skunk is a new plant with a very old pedigree, going back to the early 1990s. Back then, when it was called Citral, it was a true hit for a long time. Citral has been one of the most successful Skunk-type strains in Holland, mainly because it includes all the winning characteristics of a real Skunk combined with a fresh, lemon-like flavour and a higher production per plant. The pedigree of the Lemon Skunk is a bit of a mystery; what is sure is its Skunk parentage, which guarantees stability and very reliable results. Arjan acquired the original clone a long time ago, and until now there has been no time to develop it into a feminized strain. But while working on the Cheese and Trainwreck, we decided the time had come to bring back an old famous Amsterdam strain as well. We looked for the best mother and made R1 feminized seeds.
The Lemon Skunk is a very rewarding plant for the grower. It has a typical long bud shape and a very uniform growth pattern. Compared to the original Skunk it has a somewhat stretchy internodal distance and a heavier mass, due mostly to the higher calyx-to-leaf ratio and the larger trichomes.
The leaves are similar to the pure Skunk, with non-overlapping leaflets and a dark green colour. This is a plant that presents the grower with an array of options, very flexible to different logistics; it performs well in all types of medium, with a higher production in hydro systems and a richer terpens composition when grown in organic soil. The flexible versatile nature of this plant allows the grower to decide the plant shape solely based on the needs and requirements of the growroom. It performs very well producing huge main colas, but topping offers interesting split possibilities and can help reducing the total height of the finished plant. When left to its natural growth pattern, this strain tends to stretch the lower branches to form a very bushy shape, with long banana-like colas. The buds are extremely hairy, with thick, straight, pointy clusters of hair giving an all-white look during flowering. The flowering time on this strain is between 8 and 9 weeks, with a tendency to boost resin production in the last week. Even if it is commercially ready after just 7-8 weeks, the 9th week will add magic and charm.
Because of the rapid metabolism, the Lemon Skunk can take high EC levels (up to 2.4 EC in hydro systems, at peak of flowering) but it also requires good flushing to make sure the unique lemon-like flavour is not overpowered by fertilizer residues. Growing this plant is a real pleasure, because it behaves like a regular skunk but it delivers so much more!
The effect is very fast and long lasting, the kind I define as a “messy” high; it hits fast and strong, evolving in a very complex mind-to-body type of effect. It is both stoned and high, going in waves and coming up strong again after each puff of the joint.
The flavour is definitely lemon-lime, with a skunky background and a strong spicy aftertaste. It is a chewable type of taste, one that stays in your mouth long after the joint stopped burning.

soon some nice pics.....

This strain is a cross between two Skunks, the chosen phenotype selected for its lemon characteristics. The Lemon mother has been kept for over 20 years in Las Vegas and the father was chosen here in Holland. The male was donated by Eddie, formally the owner of one of the oldest and most prestigious seed banks in the Netherlands. This original prize male was selected and used in many breeding projects throughout the years. The Lemon Skunk will grow tall and is a good yielder. She has great smelling buds. Her buds are light green with thick orange hairs. She has a high calyx to leaf ratio. This strain is the tastiest and sweetest if she is cut down between 50 and 56 days. We would like to thank the Lemon Man and Eddie for making this possible!

thanx for the info i've got 5 feminised lemon skunks in vegg right now.
