Lemon Haze Strain: Genetics, THC, Taste and Price

Last updated 8 October 2026 from live stock · By the Bud Cargo team

What strain is Lemon Haze?

Lemon Haze is a citrus-forward haze bred from Lemon Skunk and Silver Haze. That is the lineage on both Leafly and AllBud. Lemon Skunk brings the sharp lemon aroma and the skunk side of the family, and Silver Haze brings the tall, airy haze structure and the spicy, incense-like base note.

No breeder is consistently credited in the major strain databases, which is common for a strain that has been grown widely for years. In Canada it is also sold through government stores: the SQDC, Quebec’s only legal cannabis retailer, lists a Quebec-grown Lemon Haze dried flower from Hexo, supplied by Aphria Inc.

A note on the Haze parent

The SQDC listing gives the genetics as Super Silver Haze × Lemon Skunk rather than Silver Haze × Lemon Skunk. Super Silver Haze is itself a descendant of the Haze family, so the difference is one generation. This guide uses the Silver Haze lineage that Leafly and AllBud agree on, but you will see both versions on Canadian labels.

Is Lemon Haze a sativa or indica?

Lemon Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid. AllBud rates it 70% sativa and 30% indica, Leafly lists it as a sativa, and the SQDC classifies its listing as sativa. Our own product pages describe it as sativa-leaning.

The type label is only a rough guide. AllBud notes that users report it can turn more relaxing as you consume more, so THC level and terpenes matter as much as the sativa label.

Is Super Lemon Haze a sativa or indica strain?

Super Lemon Haze is also a sativa-dominant hybrid, but it is a separate strain from Lemon Haze. Leafly lists it as a cross of Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze from Green House Seeds, calls it a two-time Cannabis Cup winner, and gives it 19% THC. Its dominant terpene is terpinolene, while Lemon Haze is led by myrcene.

The names get mixed up constantly, including in search results, so check which one a listing actually means before you buy.

What does Lemon Haze taste and smell like?

Lemon Haze smells and tastes like fresh lemon. Leafly describes it as smelling like “fresh peeled lemon slices”, with lemon, citrus and lime as its top flavours. AllBud adds sweet and tangy notes on the palate and an earthy edge in the aroma, and the SQDC describes its aromas as sweet, lemon and woody.

The lemon is mostly limonene and the citrus side of its Lemon Skunk parent. Myrcene, the top terpene on Leafly, gives the herbal base, and caryophyllene adds a peppery bite that reads as the “haze” spice. Our cannabis terpenes guide explains how each terpene shapes the smell.

What does Lemon Haze look like?

Lemon Haze grows fluffy, light-green buds with long orange hairs and a frosty trichome coat. Haze-family buds are less dense than indica flower, so an ounce looks bigger in the bag than the same weight of a dense indica.

How strong is Lemon Haze?

Lemon Haze is a moderately strong strain, with published THC around 17% to 22%. Leafly lists 19% and AllBud gives 17% to 22%, with a trace of CBD (0.38%). The SQDC’s Quebec-grown lot is labelled 210 to 280 mg of THC per gram, which is 21% to 28%.

That spread shows how much the grower and the lot move the number. We don’t publish a lab-tested THC figure for the Lemon Haze we stock right now, so we don’t quote one. Our guide to reading THC percentages on a label explains what these numbers do and don’t tell you.

What effects do people report from Lemon Haze?

People most often describe Lemon Haze as giggly, talkative and happy. Those are Leafly’s top three reported feelings, and AllBud’s reviewers call it a daytime strain suited to creative tasks. The most common negatives on Leafly are dry mouth, dizziness and paranoia.

Because paranoia shows up in reports, start low if you are new to sativa-leaning strains. This describes what consumers report, not a health claim.

How does Lemon Haze compare with other lemon strains?

Lemon Haze is the classic sativa-leaning lemon strain; most newer lemon names are dessert-style hybrids. If you like the citrus but want something less racy, a hybrid such as Lemon Gelato is the usual next step, and our Lemon Gelato strain guide covers it. For more uplifting options, the sativa strains guide compares the main ones, and Lemon Haze budder is covered in our guide to budder.
