How to Grow Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD
Lemon Haze built its name on one thing: a lemon-peel sharpness that no other haze quite matches. The CBD edition keeps that signature and swaps the potency for balance. Crossing Lemon Haze auto with an Auto CBD line produced a plant that carries 5-8% CBD with low THC, sold in the catalog as CBD Lemon Haze Auto at Blimburn Seeds.
For growers, that genetic recipe changes who the plant is for rather than how it grows. The lemon haze autoflower structure is all still here: a 40% indica / 60% sativa frame, a full life cycle of 8-10 weeks, and the vigorous, slightly stretchy growth the haze strains family is known for. What changes is the session afterward, which stays mild, clear-headed and easy to fit into a working day.

Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD at a Glance
The datasheet first, because several numbers here differ from what Lemon Haze regulars will expect.
| Type | CBD Autoflowering |
| Lineage | Lemon Haze auto x Auto CBD |
| Phenotype | 40% Indica / 60% Sativa |
| CBD | 5% – 8% |
| THC | Low (low-THC cultivar) |
| Climate | Temperate |
| Height | Up to 4.92 ft (1.5 m) |
| Life cycle | 8 – 10 weeks from seed |
| Harvest window | All Season |
| Yield indoor | 1.31 – 1.47 oz/ft² (400 – 450 g/m²) |
| Yield outdoor | 14.11 – 21.16 oz/plant (400 – 600 g/plant) |
| Flavors | Citrus, herbal, lemon, skunk |
A medium yield rating deserves honest framing: 400-450 g/m² indoors is a dependable, repeatable harvest rather than a record-chasing one, and the outdoor ceiling of 600 g per plant is excellent for an auto. Pair that with the short timeline and you can run this plant twice in the time one photoperiod haze needs.
Promos & Deals
Getting Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD Started
Germinate at 70-79°F and plant the cracked seed directly into its final container, a 3-5 gallon fabric pot with a light, well-aerated mix. Autoflowers never truly recover the time a transplant costs them, and on a plant already rated for medium output, you want every growing day pointed at bud production.
Give it 18-20 hours of light daily from the first leaves to the last day of flower; there is no schedule change at any point. Hold daytime temperatures at 68-81°F with 50-60% humidity through the vegetative weeks. Flowering begins on its own around week 3, and the sativa lean announces itself with a noticeable stretch right after, so leave vertical headroom even though the final height stays under 4.92 ft.
Feeding Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD by EC
CBD-rich autos are modest eaters compared to the Critical-type production strains, and this one prefers a steady, restrained hand. Track every feed with an EC meter and keep pH between 6.0 and 6.5 in soil.
| Stage | Weeks | EC | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedling | 1-2 | 0.4 – 0.6 | Plain water or very light feed |
| Early veg | 2-3 | 0.8 – 1.2 | Nitrogen-leaning base nutrients |
| Preflower | 3-4 | 1.2 – 1.4 | Transition as flowering begins by age |
| Bloom | 5-8 | 1.4 – 1.6 | Bloom base at the gentle end of the range |
| Flush | Final 1-2 | 0.0 – 0.4 | Plain pH-corrected water |
Stay at the lower half of each range until the plant asks for more; pale new growth means raise it, dark clawing leaf tips mean back off. The haze side of the genetics shows a mild sensitivity to overfeeding in early flower, and burned tips cost you photosynthesis exactly when the buds need it.
Flush thoroughly at the end. A clean finish is what lets the lemon and herbal notes come through crisp instead of muddy, and with this strain the flavor is the entire argument.
Training a Sativa-Leaning Auto
Skip topping entirely; the clock is too tight. Low-stress training, started in week 2, is all this plant needs: bend the main stem over the pot rim, keep tucking new shoots outward, and the 60% sativa structure rewards you with a wide, even canopy where a dozen bud sites replace one dominant cola.
Light defoliation around the start of flower helps air reach the interior, but go easy. An auto on an 8-10 week life cycle regrows little of what you remove, so take only the large fan leaves that directly shade bud sites and leave the rest of the engine running.
Growing Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD Outdoors
Outdoors is where this variety earns a specific recommendation. A lemon haze outdoor grow with the classic photoperiod version is a long-season commitment that ends in a tense October race against rot. The autoflower CBD version compresses all of it into 8-10 weeks at any point of the frost-free season, which is exactly what the All Season harvest rating means.
In a temperate climate, start the first plant after the last frost and a second in early summer; both finish comfortably before autumn turns damp. Give each plant 10-15 gallons of soil in the sunniest spot available, water consistently, and expect 14-21 oz of lemon-scented flower per plant. The haze-family stretch stays polite at this size, so the plants pass for unremarkable garden greenery better than most.
Harvesting and Curing Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD
Start checking trichomes at week 7 from sprout. For a CBD-forward flower most growers harvest at full cloudy with minimal amber, which preserves the bright, clear character this cultivar is grown for. From there, dry the branches at 59-68°F and around 55% humidity for 10-14 days, then cure in glass for two weeks minimum with daily burping at the start.
The lemon nose is volatile and fades fast in a hot or rushed dry, so treat temperature control during those two weeks as part of the grow, not an afterthought. Patience in the jar brings the citrus and herbal layers back forward week by week.
What to Do With Your Trim
Trim from a CBD-rich cultivar is worth keeping on principle: the sugar leaves carry the same cannabinoid profile as the flower in smaller concentration. Wash it into bubble hash, sift it for kief, or set it aside for a batch of infused oil or butter where the 5-8% CBD content and the lemon aroma both carry through nicely.
Aroma, Flavor and Terpenes
The flavor profile stacks citrus, herbal, lemon and skunk, and the five terpenes on the datasheet map onto it cleanly. Myrcene supplies the herbal backbone, the slightly musky depth underneath everything. Terpinolene adds the bright, almost sparkling top note that haze strains are loved for, while caryophyllene puts a peppery bite behind the sweetness.
The two quieter members do interesting work: linalool softens the profile with a floral touch, and p-Cymene, an uncommon terpene in modern hybrids, contributes the dry, aromatic edge that reads as fresh herbs and gives the skunk note its lift. The lemon-peel signature itself is simply what this lineage does; it survived the CBD conversion intact and remains the first thing anyone mentions when a jar opens.
Common Problems and Pro Tips
Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD is an easy, fast grow, but it is a CBD-led sativa auto, so timing and the harvest window matter most.
- Harvest on time for the CBD: the value here is the 5 to 8% CBD over a low THC, so follow the 8 to 10 week window and the trichomes rather than letting it over-ripen.
- Train gently, not hard: as an autoflower it will not recover from heavy topping, so use low-stress bending while young and start it in its final pot.
- Light the lower buds: as a 60% sativa it grows a fairly open structure, so spread the branches so light reaches down through the canopy.
Expert tip: it runs best outdoors because it finishes within 8 to 10 weeks of sprouting and sidesteps the late-season weather risk that photoperiod haze growers face. A slow two-week cure sharpens the lemon.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much CBD does Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD have?
Flowers test at 5 to 8% CBD while THC stays low, as the low-THC classification on the product page indicates. That ratio flips the usual Lemon Haze experience: the flavor arrives in full, while the session stays mild and manageable, which is exactly who this cultivar was bred for.
Does Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD get you high?
Not in the way the name Lemon Haze suggests. With low THC and 5 to 8% CBD, the effect is gentle and clear-headed rather than intense. Consumers who find modern high-potency flower overwhelming are exactly who this cultivar was bred for, so treat it as a calm, daytime option.
How long does Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD take from seed to harvest?
The complete life cycle runs 8 to 10 weeks from germination. Flowering begins automatically around week three regardless of light schedule, and the fastest phenotypes are jar-ready by day 60. No photoperiod Lemon Haze comes close to that timeline, which is a big part of the appeal here.
How much does Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD yield?
Indoors, expect 1.31 to 1.47 oz/ft² (400 to 450 g/m²); outdoors, 14.11 to 21.16 oz (400 to 600 g) per plant with generous sun and soil volume. It is a dependable medium harvest, and you can deliver it twice a season if you stagger two plants across the warm months.
Can you grow Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD outdoors?
Yes, and it is arguably the best way to run it. The plant finishes within 8 to 10 weeks of sprouting at any frost-free point of the season, handles a temperate climate well, and avoids the late-October weather risk that photoperiod haze growers know too well, which makes it low-stress outdoors.
What does Lemon Haze Autoflower CBD taste like?
Fresh lemon peel up front, backed by herbal and citrus layers over a faint skunk base. The profile leans crisp rather than sweet, and a slow two-week cure sharpens the lemon considerably compared to freshly dried flower, so give it that time in the jar before you judge it.
