What makes a cannabis strain taste like lemon?

Strains high in the terpene limonene tend to have a sharp, citrus-forward aroma and flavor—especially when combined with other terpenes like pinene or terpinolene.

Are lemon strains usually sativa or indica?

Most are sativa-dominant or hybrid, offering uplifting effects. However, some lemon strains are indica-leaning for a more balanced body buzz.

Can I grow lemon strains indoors?

Absolutely. Many lemon strains perform great in controlled environments. Just ensure good air circulation, as citrus terps tend to be extra pungent.
