*This batch of Lemon OG Kush, at 21% THCa, is a perfect example of how potency numbers alone should not be the deciding factor when choosing a strain. Clearly the terpene levels and the entourage effect they collectively produce are in full play with this strain. And even though there are no terpene levels that are off the charts, they work together to create a cumulative and amplified effect.
So, I never found myself wishing it had a higher THCa percentage. Here’s an interesting article: https://www.thecannabist.co/strains/og-18-marijuana-review/

APPEARANCE, AROMA + TASTE :
Lemon OG Kush is a rather strange looking flower when cured. The large gnarled leaves wrapped around the calyx are very detailed and almost appear furry with a generous amount of trichome coverage on the surface. The outer trimmed leaves are curled and pointing every which way. The reddish orange stigma are found in thick mangled clusters like bundles of tangled string. The amount of relief and other structural detail give Lemon OG an almost ancient look that begs to be explored.
Good For Bowls and Rolls:
medium to large sized buds appear dense but are quite easily broken down for spliffs, bongs, and vapes.
AROMA:
- Sweet-tea
- Citrus-lemon
- Earthy- pine-diesel
TASTE:
- Sweet-lemon

- Fuel and lemon on exhale
A CLOSER LOOK INSIDE…
The .7% myrcene level is reflected in Lemon Kush OG’s ability to provide some relaxation along with all that “buzz” around the head. The .22% limonene goes a long way here. In fact, a little further than I had expected as the head buzz and sensations of well-being were quite pronounced.
CONCLUSION
Lemon Kush OG provides a very energized and mentally uplifting high that can be quite functional. However, its intense Sativa leanings are tamed by softer physical euphoria characteristic of Indica strains.
Although, for the most part, this is a strain best suited for morning or daytime, the Indica body high is definitely relaxing and could be equally enjoyed in the evening while watching a movie etc.
The mentally and physically euphoric effects help steady the nerves and increase focus which amplifies the Sativa fueled head-“buzz”.Lemon OG Kush is a very functional Sativa dominant hybrid strain with a perfect balance of Sativa and Indica effects.I will most definitely purchase this strain again.
