Lemon is a strong branch of the Skunk family, which was the result of a group of international growers meeting up in Amsterdam and starting a house of hybrids. Popular breeding members of this family include Lemon OG Kush, Super Lemon Haze, and Lemon Pie. Lemon Pie is a more recent hybrid made by Snoop Dogg’s Leaf’s seed house. The other two are actually crosses of Lemon Skunk.
Lemon cannabis is one of the major roots of this family tree. With parents from Las Vegas and Holland, this sixty percent sativa with famous parents made a big splash in weed genetics. Lemon Skunk comes from Las Vegas Lemon Skunk, a mix of Las Vegas and Amsterdam Skunk 1 genes proliferated by Sam the Skunkman and Nevillle Schoenmakers respectively. Skunk 1 is a mix of Mexican and Columbian Gold mixed with Afghani. Las Vegas Super Skunk comes from a mix of Skunk 1 and a breed called Dutch Citron Skunk that’s hard to find now. There is a bit of mystery in just how many crosses and recrosses of Skunk it took to make Lemon, though it may be that Skunk 1 and the original Dutch Citron Skunk are actually two phenotypes from the same batch. In any case, Lemon Skunk went on to merge with OG 18 to create Lemon OG, and it met with Super Silver Haze to make Super Lemon Haze.

Lemon plants are quite resilient to all kinds of pests and humidity, but their seeds are more fragile. It’s important to keep seeds safe from warmth, moisture, and bright light while trying to store them. Leaving seeds in their packaging for a few weeks to up to two months in a drawer is relatively safe, though you may want to make sure that your space isn't getting too warm for the seeds. A cooler place, below room temperature, is wise. Pot seeds are stored safely at a relative humidity that’s very low, between eight and ten percent. This ensures that excess moisture doesn’t get to the seed, causing it to think that it’s time to wake up and germinate. If a seed germinates because it’s too warm, too bright, or too wet, and there aren’t other sources of energy around to help the sprout grow, the seed will die. It never hurts to check on them every once in a while to make sure they’re safe! Many people like to store seeds in their fridge, though it’s only wise to do this if they’re in a watertight and crush-proof container, preferably even a light proof one. Even then, it’s preferable to keep seeds in dry places in the fridge like the crisper or the door. The safest place to store seeds is a dry basement or cellar room, where temperatures don’t get too high, the humidity is always low, and the light is not too direct.
