How to Grow Super Lemon Haze CBD

Super Lemon Haze needs no introduction: the Lemon Skunk x Super Silver Haze cross collected trophies for years and set the standard for citrus cannabis. This CBD edition keeps the famous recipe and rebalances the chemistry, pairing 8-10% THC with an equal 8-10% CBD for a true 1:1 ratio. Same lemon, roughly half the intensity, twice the clarity.

For growers, the pedigree matters as much as the ratio. The Super Silver Haze side of the family, still available as Super Silver Haze at Blimburn Seeds, donates its legendary resin production and its patience-testing bloom: expect 10-12 weeks of flowering and, in exchange, up to 800 g/m² indoors, which earns this cultivar its place among the catalog’s high-yielding seeds. Full specs are on the Super Lemon Haze CBD (1:1) seeds page.

As a feminized CBD photoperiod strain, every seed flowers female and you decide when bloom begins. This guide covers the complete run, with a dedicated outdoor section, because the one place this plant needs honest expectations is outside.

Super Lemon Haze CBD at a Glance

Indoors this is one of the heaviest producers in the entire CBD line: 600-800 g/m² puts it in genuine high-yielding territory, ahead of most regular THC strains. Outdoors the per-plant figure is a modest 55-160 g, a consequence of the long bloom meeting the short end of the season. Read that as a clear instruction: this plant was born for the indoor room or the greenhouse.

Getting Super Lemon Haze CBD Started

Germinate at 70-79°F in paper towels or starter plugs; taproots show within three days. Pot up in stages to a 3-5 gallon final container. Early growth is compact and well-branched, in line with the 70% indica structure on the datasheet, which keeps the plant at a tent-friendly 4.92 ft despite its haze blood.

Veg under 18 hours of light at 68-81°F with 50-60% humidity, and keep veg short: two to three weeks indoors. The flowering phase is long, so the earlier you flip, the sooner the calendar works in your favor. Seedlings are notably forgiving for a haze descendant, one of the reasons the datasheet marks this cultivar as beginner-suitable.

Feeding Super Lemon Haze CBD by EC

Production at the 800 gram level needs consistent feeding across a three-month bloom. Work by EC, hold pH at 6.0-6.5 in soil, and stock enough bloom nutrients for the full stretch before you start.

StageWeeksECNotes
Seedling1-20.4 – 0.6Plain water or very light feed
Vegetative2-30.8 – 1.2Nitrogen-leaning base nutrients
PreflowerFlip + 1-31.2 – 1.4Transition feed through the stretch
BloomFlip + 4-101.4 – 1.6Bloom base, PK booster from week 5
FlushFinal 1-20.0 – 0.4Plain pH-corrected water

Mid and late bloom are where the harvest is decided: hold EC near 1.5-1.6 from week 4 through week 10 and keep calcium and magnesium supplemented under LED lights. The plant continues packing weight in weeks 9 and 10 when most strains have finished, so resist the instinct to wind feeding down early.

Flush thoroughly over the final one to two weeks. The lemon brightness this cultivar is named for only survives a clean finish.

Training and Flipping to 12/12

Top once above the fourth node in week 2, then open the plant with low-stress training into a wide, even canopy. With yields this dense per square foot, every levelled branch adds real weight, and the sturdy indica-style branching takes training without complaint.

Flip to 12/12 when the canopy covers about 60% of the footprint. The stretch is moderate, and the long 10-12 week bloom then unfolds in two acts: structure and bud set through week 6, followed by a slow, steady swell to the finish. Keep humidity at 40-45% from mid-bloom and air moving constantly; buds carrying this much weight in a humid November room are asking for trouble otherwise.

Growing Super Lemon Haze CBD Outdoors

A super lemon haze outdoor grow is a famous project, and the CBD version follows the same rhythm with one caveat written right on the datasheet: a November finish in a temperate climate. That means cold nights, autumn rain and shrinking daylight during the final month of ripening, which is exactly why the outdoor figure stops at 160 grams per plant.

If outdoors is your only option, stack the deck: choose the sunniest, most sheltered spot available, grow in containers you can move under cover, and treat a greenhouse or polytunnel as the serious upgrade it is. Under protection, the plant keeps ripening steadily into November and rewards you with quality no early-finishing strain matches. The airy haze bud structure resists moisture well, buying extra margin in damp weeks.

Harvesting and Curing Super Lemon Haze CBD

Start reading trichomes at week 9 of flower; most phenotypes finish between weeks 10 and 12. Harvest at mostly cloudy to keep the creative, energetic character bright. Because CBD-rich flower shifts little with extra amber, timing here is more about terpenes than chemistry: when the lemon smell peaks in the room, you are close.

Dry for 10-14 days at 59-68°F and around 55% humidity, then cure in glass for at least three weeks. The citrus top note arrives first, the earthy base settles in by week two, and the full lemon-candy-over-soil profile locks in around week three. Patience after a three-month bloom feels unfair; it pays anyway.

What to Do With Your Trim

Trim from a 1:1 cultivar is double-purpose material: it carries both cannabinoids in balanced form. Wash it into bubble hash, sift it for kief, or infuse it into oil or butter where the balanced ratio and lemon aroma both come through. With indoor harvests this size, the trim jar alone justifies the processing afternoon.

Aroma, Flavor and Terpenes

Citrus, earthy and lemon is the flavor listing, and the five terpenes on the datasheet deliver it in layers. Terpinolene leads with the bright, sparkling lift that haze strains are loved for, and myrcene lays the earthy foundation underneath. Caryophyllene adds a peppery warmth in the middle that keeps the profile from floating away.

The two finishers give it character: linalool softens everything with floral sweetness, while p-Cymene, rare in modern lists, contributes the dry herbal edge that makes the lemon read zesty rather than sugary. The lemon signature itself is the Lemon Skunk inheritance, the same one that made the original famous, and it survives the CBD rebalancing completely intact.

Common Problems and Pro Tips

Super Lemon Haze CBD is a rewarding grow, but it is a balanced 1:1 plant with a long haze bloom that shines indoors, so plan for timing and the space.

  • Harvest on time for the balance: the value here is the even 1:1 CBD-to-THC ratio, so follow the long 10 to 12 week window and the trichomes rather than over-ripening.
  • Grow it indoors for the yield: it is a standout indoor producer but light per plant outdoors with its late November finish, so a tent or greenhouse suits it best.
  • Plan for the smell: its bright lemon-haze aroma gets loud in flower, so run a carbon filter if you need to keep the grow discreet.

Expert tip: it needs a sunny, sheltered spot or a greenhouse to ripen into November outdoors. Its lemon zest over an earthy, spicy base comes into clean balance after a three-week cure, so be patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much THC and CBD does Super Lemon Haze CBD have?

The product page lists 8 to 10% THC alongside 8 to 10% CBD, a balanced 1:1 ratio. That puts the THC at roughly half of the original Super Lemon Haze while adding a substantial CBD share, the signature chemistry of modern balanced cultivars, so you get the lemon character in a gentler form.

Does Super Lemon Haze CBD get you high?

Yes, moderately. With 8 to 10% THC it is noticeably active, but the equal CBD share rounds the experience into something clearer and easier to steer: creative, energetic and uplifted without the racy edge the full-strength original can show, so it stays a workable, daytime option.

How long does Super Lemon Haze CBD take to flower?

Flowering runs 10 to 12 weeks after the 12/12 flip, classic haze timing inherited from Super Silver Haze. Outdoors in a temperate climate, plants finish in November, the latest harvest window in the Blimburn Seeds catalog, so feed it through that long bloom and be patient with it.

How much does Super Lemon Haze CBD yield?

Indoors it is a standout: 1.97 to 2.62 oz/ft² (600 to 800 g/m²) with good light and steady feeding. Outdoors, the late finish limits plants to 1.94 to 5.64 oz (55 to 160 g) each, so indoor rooms and greenhouses are where this strain earns its reputation and its big yield.

Can you grow Super Lemon Haze CBD outdoors?

Yes, with managed expectations. It needs a sunny, sheltered spot and ideally a greenhouse or polytunnel to ripen comfortably into November. Growers in warm regions with long autumns do best; elsewhere, the indoor numbers argue for themselves, so most people get more from it in a controlled space.

What does Super Lemon Haze CBD taste like?

Bright lemon zest over an earthy, slightly spicy base, true to the classic Super Lemon Haze profile. The citrus leads from the first grind, and a three-week cure deepens the earthy undertone until the two sit in clean balance, so dry slowly and give it that time before you judge it.
