Lemon OG is DNA Genetics' Lemon OG Kush, an indica-dominant hybrid of Las Vegas Lemon Skunk and The OG #18. The Amsterdam seed company built it from two of its own catalog pillars, pairing a Lemon Skunk cut with a Cannabis Cup-winning OG Kush selection.
Leafly carries Lemon OG Kush as an alias, and the cultivar now reaches shelves as flower, live resin and live badder.
DNA Genetics and its OG Kush program
DNA Genetics was founded by Don and Aaron in Amsterdam in 2004. The company says it has won more than 200 awards at cannabis events around the world, and it runs a retail shop in Amsterdam while keeping close ties to California cannabis culture.
DNA also claims two firsts. It calls itself the first international seed company to commercialize OG Kush in seed form, and it created the first pure indica strain to undergo genome sequencing and genetic mapping. DNA's Leafly product listing credits the team with more than 20 years in the industry.
Las Vegas Lemon Skunk meets The OG #18
DNA's catalog lists its Lemon Skunk as a sativa-leaning plant, 60% sativa, that flowers in 8–9 weeks and yields 450–500 g/m². For Lemon OG, the company used the Las Vegas Lemon Skunk cut specifically, a clone Leafly describes as mythical.
The OG #18 is DNA's OG Kush S1, a self-cross of OG Kush. The catalog gives it a 9-week flowering time and yields of 500–600 g/m². Leafly lists it at 22% THC with a 4.6 rating across 475 reviews, and it also goes by Private Reserve and Reserve OG.
The OG #18 won at the High Times Cannabis Cup in both 2009 and 2010. DNA has since used it as a parent across its catalog, with Lemon 18 (Lemon Chem × OG #18), Cherry 18 (Cherry Pie × OG #18) and BT7 (Banana Tangie #7 × OG #18) all built on it.
Nine weeks to finish
DNA's catalog lists Lemon OG Kush with a flowering time of about nine weeks and indoor yields of 450–500 g/m². That matches its Lemon Skunk parent on yield and sits just below The OG #18.
Leafly lists a broader 8–10 week window. Weedmaps gives 56–63 days, and it classifies the cultivar as an indica-dominant hybrid.
Lemon Skunk also sits in the background of other modern lines. Clementine, a Tangie × Lemon Skunk cross, is one parent of Wonderbrett's Lemon OZ Kush, a separate release from a different breeder and family.
How Lemon OG tests and lands
Leafly lists Lemon OG, also known as Lemon OG Kush, at 19% THC with caryophyllene as its dominant terpene. The strain holds a 4.3 rating across 567 reviews. DNA's own Leafly product listing puts a flower batch at 23% THC.
On Weedmaps, lab results on current products range from 22.79% to 25.04% THC. Those listings cover flower, live resin and live badder at Columbus-area dispensaries.
Leafly reviewers most often report feeling relaxed, sleepy and hungry, and describe a quick-acting, sleepy head sensation. DNA sums up the taste as lemony and gassy, the two sides of the cross showing up together.
