Budtender Moment: Lemon Sportiff Strain Review

“Some days you don’t need a miracle. You just need a lemon-scented nudge back into yourself.”

-This Puzzled Life

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. And let the ancestors know we’re about to talk some citrus warfare. It’s Southern-chaotic. Science-forward. Spirit-guided. Exactly how we do it. And the name of the strain is Lemon Sportiff.

Lemon Sportiff is a sativa-dominant hybrid. The genetics consist of  Lemon Skunk × Super Silver Haze. Lemon Skunk is a cross between Skunk #1 × Citral. Super Silver Haze is a cross between Skunk #1 × Northern Lights × Haze. It’s the kind that wakes you up like somebody just slammed a screen door during a thunderstorm and yelled, “Y’all up?” It’s bright. It’s zesty. It’s athletic in the way only a strain named Sportiff could be. It’s like it’s wearing a sweatband and telling you to hydrate. Lemon Sportiff comes from a lineage that feels like a family reunion where everybody brought a casserole and a secret. So yes this strain is basically a citrus-powered dynasty built on Skunk, Haze, and Northern Lights. A whole genealogy chart that smells like somebody zested a lemon over a science experiment.

Lemon Sportiff tastes like lemon peel, sweet citrus candy, a hint of herbal brightness, and a clean, almost sparkling finish. If “sunshine in a mason jar” were a flavor, this would be it. The terpenes running the show are Limonene, Pinene, and Caryophyllene. Together they create a profile that’s both energizing and steady. It’s like a pep talk from your favorite auntie who also keeps crystals in her purse. Patients often reach for Lemon Sportiff for mood, focus & clarity, fatigue, and mild pain relief. This is the strain you grab when you need to feel like the sun came out inside your chest.

Please keep in mind that depending on differences in grows depends on what area of the country it is grown in. Ther will also be slight differences depending on when, where the plant was grown. Thanks for reading! And keep blazin.’ What was your exact Lemon Sportiff second this strain made you stop, blink, and say “well damn”?

Affirmation: I rise with clarity. I move with purpose. I shine without apology.

Budtender Moment: Super Lemon Haze Vape Cart Review

“Sativa makes me productive. Indica makes me forget what I was supposed to be productive about.”

-Unknown

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to tell you about another widely known strain that will give you that attitude adjustment and the want to get up and go. Its name is Super Lemon Haze.

Super Lemon Haze is an 80/20 sativa-dominant strain. It is a cross between Lemon Skunk x Super Silver Haze. Lemon Skunk is a cross of two distinct Skunk phenotypes that were selected by the breeder specifically for their lemon traits. And those names are unknown. Super Silver Haze is a cross between Skunk x Northern Lights x Haze. When the two sides of this strain came together, it was a match made in heaven. It was developed in the late 1990s and popularized in the late 2000s by breeder Franco Loja. 

If you go solely on the names in the lineage, then we all know those “skunky” strains. And the Haze strains are the ones that taste a lot like mildew in your purple strains. What I can tell you about this strain is that the lemon flavoring is so strong that the strain taste is very enjoyable. I will caution you about the chance of increased anxiety is it’s overused. So, beware if you have anxiety issues.

The top terpenes in this strain are Limonene, Terpinolene, and B-Caryophyllene. Patients report relief from mood swings, stress, fatigue, and mild pain management. Please keep in mind that each grow will be different and the flower’s effects will differ depending on which region of the country that the plant is grown. Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’

Affirmation:  I release tension, fear, and the stories that weigh me down.

Budtender Moment: Moroccan Peaches Strain Review

“Kush rolled, glass full. I prefer the better things.”

-Rihana

 Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negativity energy, go away. Today, I want to discuss a cannabis strain called Moroccan Peaches. And peachy it is!

I don’t know about you. But when I heard this name, I instantly thought about a warm peach cobbler. I know. It’s a very southern thought. This strain is considered a 50/50 hybrid. And I would have to put it above the hybrid strain Pink Peanut. But not by much. 

The genetics for this strain is a cross of Spanish Barbara x Lemon Tree Skorange. Let’s look at the genetics a little closer. Spanish Barbara is known for  its Barbara Bud #23 phenotype. It’s also known for being a sativa-dominant plant with a peach aroma. And I can tell you that the peachy flavors come through so well. From the minute you inhale, the peach aroma follows the entire experience. And before you can exhale this strain hits with gusto.

Lemon Tree Skorange is also a 50/50 hybrid strain known for its lemon flavor profile. And it is believed to be a cross between Lemon Skunk x Sour Diesel. Skorange is a hybrid of Cali O  and OG Kush. And deep in its lineage is THC Bomb. Which is responsible for having a lemon scent and OG Kush dankness.

Moroccan Peaches hits your brain hits your brain with energy but also with a nice indica balance. And for me, it made me a little “chatty Kathy.” Patients report  relief from chronic stress, chronic fatigue, depression, mood swings, migraines, and PMS. Terpene profile include B-Caryophyllene, Limonene, and a-Humulene. Thanks for reading. And keep blazin.’

Affirmation: Happiness is a journey, not a destination, and cannabis keeps it smooth sailing.
