There are two very different things inside Lemon party x Lemon tree. Lemon Party, a Lemon Tree pick CSI keep in house, and one of the loudest citrus plants anyone runs. And Lemon Tree, a Santa Cruz cross of Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel, and the benchmark most lemon lines answer to. CSI breed off held clones rather than off seed stock, which is why the parents named on the pack are the actual plants and not their descendants.

Lemon Party sits on the seed side here, Lemon Tree on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Lemon Party. CSI's own lemon cut, which they identify as a Lemon Tree selection. Built from a cut of Lemon Tree.
• Father: Lemon Tree. A Santa Cruz cross of Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel, and the benchmark most lemon lines answer to. It traces back to Lemon Skunk x Sour Diesel.
• How to read it. Everything below splits into what one parent gives and what the other does. Plants that take from both are the ones to keep.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Neither parent is subtle, and the cross has nowhere quiet to go.

• The Aroma. Sharp zesty lemon and sugary citrus, described as overpowering candied lemon and super pungent from the Lemon Party side, against bright citrus with diesel weight holding it down from the Lemon Tree side.
• The Taste. Bright lemon with a sour citrus bite, turning earthier up front, turning to zesty and sour turning heavier and more diesel-driven through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• Two different harvest dates. Around sixty-five days, reported sixty to seventy for Lemon Party, eight to ten weeks for Lemon Tree. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives sharp zesty lemon and sugary citrus, described as overpowering candied lemon and super pungent; the other gives sharp lemon and citrus over a fuel base. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Build. On the Lemon Party side: medium height, indoors or outdoors; flowers heavily coated in trichomes with vibrant orange pistils. On the Lemon Tree side: medium height, around ninety to a hundred centimetres indoors. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• Opposite ends. Lemon Party is reported as bright and lifting rather than heavy; Lemon Tree as bright and uplifting rather than heavy. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Lemon Party is mid-sized indoors or out, frosting over completely with orange pistils through it. Lemon Tree is medium height, around ninety to a hundred centimetres indoors.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Lemon Party runs around sixty-five days, reported sixty to seventy, Lemon Tree eight to ten weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Lemon Party as bright and lifting rather than heavy.
• The Body. Lemon Tree is reported as bright and uplifting rather than heavy, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
