T-1000 x Lemon tree is T-1000 crossed to Lemon Tree. T-1000 is Red Beard's selection out of CSI's Old Family Purple, and the first CSI Humboldt / CSI Portland collaboration. Lemon Tree is a Santa Cruz cross of Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel, and the benchmark most lemon lines answer to. Between them they cover ground neither reaches alone. These are held cuts, not recreations. CSI's entire catalogue works that way, and it is the reason their crosses are worth chasing.

T-1000 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: T-1000. Red Beard's selection out of CSI's Old Family Purple, and the first CSI Humboldt / CSI Portland collaboration. Given as a selection from Old Family Purple, which is Triangle Kush x Purple Urkle. Appreciates steady feeding rather than a boom-and-bust schedule.
• Father: Lemon Tree. Lemon Skunk over Sour Diesel, selected out of a large hunt in the Santa Cruz mountains. Given as Lemon Skunk x Sour Diesel.
• The point of the pairing. Neither parent needed rescuing. Putting them together is about what sits between them, not about fixing either one.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two distinct smells, and a pack will give you both plus everything between.

• The Aroma. Juicy grape and sweet cream over pine and skunky diesel with musky earth beneath from the T-1000 side, against bright citrus with diesel weight holding it down from the Lemon Tree side.
• The Taste. Cream and grape into pine and light diesel, earthy at the end up front, turning to zesty and sour turning heavier and more diesel-driven through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• Two different harvest dates. Roughly fifty-six to seventy days, with many growers looking at week nine for T-1000, eight to ten weeks for Lemon Tree. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.
• Two noses, one pack. T-1000 contributes juicy grape and sweet cream over pine needles and skunky diesel, with musky earth and a touch of spice. Lemon Tree contributes sharp lemon and citrus over a fuel base. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Structure varies hard here. Indica-leaning at roughly seventy-thirty, medium height, stacking dense spear-shaped resinous colas from one parent; medium height, around ninety to a hundred centimetres indoors from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• Opposite ends. T-1000 is reported as calm rather than busy; body-heavy and relaxing; 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. T-1000 is medium-sized and about seventy percent indica, stacking resinous spear-shaped colas. Lemon Tree is medium height, around ninety to a hundred centimetres indoors.
• Veg and stretch. Set the frame while it is cheap to do. Anything you fix after the flip costs you flower sites.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. T-1000 runs roughly fifty-six to seventy days, with many growers looking at week nine, Lemon Tree eight to ten weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe T-1000 as calm rather than busy; body-heavy and relaxing.
• The Body. Lemon Tree is reported as bright and uplifting rather than heavy, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Their library is clones first and crosses second, which is why the names on their packs read like a list of plants rather than a list of products. Sold as authentic Humboldt CSI.
