Genetics and Background
Sour Lemon OG seeds by Emerald Triangle Seeds combine the refined traits of California Sour and a distinctive Lemon OG phenotype. California Sour, itself a cross of Mexican Sativa and Afghan, contributes structure and strength, while the Lemon OG pheno enhances the strain with a unique citrus character. The resulting hybrid leans toward the sativa end of the spectrum, offering vigorous vegetative growth and a powerful aromatic profile. Sour Lemon OG seeds are crafted for growers seeking a dynamic plant with complex lineage and visually striking bud development.
Flavor and Aroma
Sour Lemon OG delivers a bold and refreshing sensory experience. The flavor profile is dominated by sharp citrus elements, with intense notes of lemon and lime layered over a tart sour apple undertone. A subtle peppery Kush flavor adds complexity, creating a unique balance between sweetness, tartness, and spice. The aroma mirrors the flavor with its strong citrus bouquet, filling the environment with sharp, zesty overtones. Sour apple and earthy Kush accents add richness to the aromatic profile, making Sour Lemon OG seeds an appealing option for growers who prioritize bold terpene expression.
Appearance and Structure
Sour Lemon OG seeds produce tall, lanky plants that benefit from training techniques due to their rapid vertical growth during the vegetative stage. As the plant enters the final two weeks of flowering, the buds transform dramatically. Initially soft and fuzzy, they swell into bubbly, castle-shaped colas with an increasingly pungent and resinous finish. The high resin production gives the buds a slick, glossy appearance, which is especially pronounced in well-lit indoor environments. The impressive visual development of Sour Lemon OG makes it a standout cultivar during both growth and harvest stages.
Growing Notes
With a flowering time of 10 to 11 weeks and a harvest window in late October, Sour Lemon OG seeds offer a medium to high yield depending on conditions and grower techniques. This tall and lanky variety is well-suited to Screen of Green (SCROG) or other canopy management methods to control height and maximize bud exposure. Its sativa dominance means it will stretch during the early flowering phase, making early training crucial for indoor environments. Whether cultivated indoors or outdoors, Sour Lemon OG seeds reward attentive growers with an aromatic and resinous final product.
Cultivation Specifications
Sour Lemon OG seeds are feminized to ensure consistency and eliminate the need for sexing plants. With genetics consisting of 35% Indica and 65% Sativa, this strain leans toward the sativa side in both growth pattern and terpene output. The tall, open structure allows light penetration to lower bud sites, improving yield potential. Emerald Triangle Seeds has bred this variety to thrive in a range of conditions, making it a flexible and rewarding choice for both experienced and novice cultivators looking to explore citrus-forward strains with visually impressive colas.
