Green House Seeds Franco's Lemon Cheese

Genetics and Lineage

Franco's Lemon Cheese is a remarkable hybrid created by Green House Seeds, blending two legendary cultivars: Super Lemon Haze and Exodus Cheese. This strain represents the final selection made by Franco Loja, a renowned cannabis breeder and part of the Strain Hunters collective. Franco's Lemon Cheese seeds are bred to embody the spirit and preferences of Franco, combining award-winning genetics with bold flavors and vigorous growth traits. This hybrid expresses the best attributes of both parents, offering a fusion of lemon zest and classic cheese funk within a resilient and productive plant.

Cultivation and Growth Characteristics

Franco's Lemon Cheese seeds develop into tall plants with a strong central stem and long, sturdy branches. The growth structure is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though some branch support may be necessary during flowering to accommodate the heavy, resin-rich buds. Indoors, growers can expect a flowering period of 9 to 11 weeks with yields reaching up to 750 grams per square meter. Outdoors, this strain finishes by early November in the northern hemisphere, producing up to 1000 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants thrive in environments that provide ample space and light, and their sativa-leaning structure allows for broad lateral development and full canopy formation.

Flavor Profile

Franco's Lemon Cheese delivers a layered and memorable flavor experience that reflects its heritage. The initial taste is dominated by sharp lemon citrus, a clear influence from Super Lemon Haze. On the exhale, the rich, savory notes of Exodus Cheese take over, offering a deep, earthy undertone with a distinctly cheesy finish. The contrasting profiles blend harmoniously, making Franco's Lemon Cheese a unique option for those who enjoy complex, evolving flavors. The terpene blend behind this profile is rich and varied, contributing to the bold sensory signature this strain is known for.

Aroma and Terpene Expression

The aroma of Franco's Lemon Cheese is immediately striking, characterized by bright, zesty lemon tones layered over a pungent cheese base. As the buds mature, the citrus scent becomes more intense, while the classic musk of the Exodus Cheese component lingers subtly in the background. Once the flowers are dried and cured, the scent deepens, becoming more complex and rich, with a pungency that fills the room upon breaking up the buds. The aromatic experience of Franco's Lemon Cheese seeds makes them highly desirable for cultivators who prioritize terpene-rich cultivars with unmistakable profiles.
