Super Lemon Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis hybrid known for its bright citrus aroma and Lemon Skunk × Super Silver Haze lineage. Its lemon-forward character makes it a natural fit for our True Blue strain profile series, where we explore the cannabis varieties behind our terpene blends.
Here, we cover the strain's origins, what published terpene profiles show, and how to interpret reports about its effects. If you want the flavor without the cannabis, our Super Lemon Haze terpene blend is made from food-grade terpenes and contains no THC or CBD.

Super Lemon Haze Genetics: Lemon Skunk × Super Silver Haze
Green House Seed Company identifies Super Lemon Haze as a cross between Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze. The Amsterdam breeder also records first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2008 and 2009. It is a hybrid with mostly sativa genetics, not a pure sativa.
The breeder describes lemon zest alongside woody and pine-like notes. Citrus leads, with more depth behind it than a simple lemon flavor.
Zesty Lemon Flavor, Aroma and Terpene Profile
The profile is built on contrast: sweet citrus against tart lemon, with a sharp zest-like edge. Leafly compares the taste to lemon candy, and our product page describes it the same way.
When comparing aroma descriptions, break the profile into three parts: the bright citrus top note, the supporting herbal, woody or peppery notes, and whether the finish is tart or sweet. These questions work whether you are comparing flower or choosing a terpene blend for a flavor project.
Terpenes contribute to cannabis aroma and flavor, but a strain name does not provide a complete chemical recipe. Leafly's Super Lemon Haze profile, which draws on tested products, currently lists terpinolene as the most abundant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. Leafly links terpinolene with herbal and floral notes, caryophyllene with pepper, and myrcene with an herbal character.
The breeder's profile highlights caryophyllene, limonene and terpinolene instead. So although the strain smells like lemon, limonene is not necessarily its dominant terpene.
For a particular product, look for a certificate of analysis (COA) that matches the batch on the label. Check which terpenes were measured, their reported amounts, and the units used.
A terpene report for cannabis flower describes that flower sample, not the makeup of a separately formulated terpene blend. True Blue's blends are not made from cannabis; they are formulated from food-grade terpenes isolated from natural sources, so judge a blend by its own product information.
Super Lemon Haze Effects: Reports, THC Levels and Limits
Leafly readers commonly describe Super Lemon Haze as energetic, focused, and uplifting. Other reported experiences include anxiety, dry mouth, and dry eyes. These are consumer reports, not clinical findings, and they cannot predict how an individual will respond.
The sativa label also does not guarantee energy or creativity. Research on cannabis labeling found that sativa and indica labels poorly captured overall genetic and chemical variation.
THC is the main intoxicating component of cannabis. According to Health Canada, responses vary with factors including THC and CBD content, previous cannabis experience, health conditions, and other substances used.
The energizing reputation is why daytime use comes up in discussions of this strain, but cannabis impairs attention, whatever the strain name. Do not use it before driving or work that requires focus. Health Canada also notes that edibles take much longer than inhaled cannabis to reach full effect.
Reports of feeling uplifted do not show that this strain treats depression, anxiety, pain or sleep problems. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health reviews the evidence for specific cannabis and cannabinoid uses, and those findings do not transfer automatically to a named strain or a terpene blend. If you are considering cannabis for a health condition, discuss it with a qualified clinician.
How to Compare Super Lemon Haze Products
Start with potency. The breeder lists 26.33% THC and 0.21% CBD for its Super Lemon Haze seeds, but that figure describes one listing, not every plant or product sold under the name. A high THC percentage measures concentration; it does not prove better flavor or quality. Compare the batch label and lab report for the product in front of you.
Keep product formats separate. Whole buds, shake, concentrates, and edibles report potency in different units, so do not compare a flower percentage with milligrams per edible serving. A strong aroma also does not tell you cannabinoid content; only testing does.
Read entourage effect claims carefully. The entourage effect is a proposed interaction among cannabis compounds. A small controlled human study of vaporized limonene and THC found reduced THC-related anxiety under specific experimental conditions, with little change in other measured effects. It did not test Super Lemon Haze or True Blue's blend, and it does not show that a citrus terpene product treats anxiety.
Explore Super Lemon Haze Flavor With True Blue
If you're interested in citrus character, explore True Blue's Super Lemon Haze terpenes. The blend comes in 5 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, and 100 ml bottles and contains no THC, CBD, or CBN, no additives or fillers, and no propylene glycol. Before ordering, decide what you want it to do: add citrus brightness, bring out a sweet note, or complement an existing herbal character.
For concentrates, True Blue recommends starting at 3% terpenes by weight, increasing in 0.5% to 1% steps up to 6%, and not going above 8%. One mL weighs about 0.85 grams, and the Terpene Mixing Calculator works out amounts for a batch.
Terpenes are concentrated, so always dilute them, and don't assume a food-grade product is safe for inhalation or direct skin use without checking the directions. Store the bottle at room temperature or cooler, away from light and heat, and refrigerate it for long-term storage; the approximate shelf life is 6 to 12 months.
