Franco's Lemon Cheese Feminized Seeds – Super Lemon Haze x Exodus Cheese Genetics

Franco's Lemon Cheese feminized seeds from Green House Seed Co. deliver a legendary hybrid experience, combining the award-winning genetics of Super Lemon Haze with the iconic Exodus Cheese in a powerful, resin-packed tribute to the late, great breeder Franco Loja.

Ever feel like your grow space is a constant juggling act between high-energy Sativas and heavy-hitting Indicas, never quite finding that perfect balanced buzz? You end up with either a racy, anxious high or a couch-lock so deep you forget your own plans. Franco's Lemon Cheese solves that by merging the best of both worlds: the uplifting, creative spark of a champion Sativa with the deep, satisfying stone of a classic Indica.

How Franco's Lemon Cheese Saves You Time and Effort

This strain is bred for growers who want top-shelf results without the extreme fuss. Its robust genetics offer solid resistance, meaning you spend less time battling issues and more time enjoying the process. The plant's structure is predictable—tall with long, vine-like branches—so you can plan your training techniques like LST or SCROG from the start without surprises. It's a set-and-forget kind of plant for intermediate growers, forgiving enough to handle minor mistakes but rewarding enough to make you feel like a pro.

Simple Steps to Grow It Without Wasting a Minute

Follow this straightforward plan for a smooth grow cycle from seed to harvest.

1. Germinate & Seedling: Start your seeds in a warm, humid environment. Once sprouted, provide gentle light and avoid overwatering.
2. Vegetative Growth: Keep plants under an 18/6 light cycle. This is the time for gentle LST (Low Stress Training) to manage height and encourage branching. Use a balanced nutrient regimen.
3. Transition to Flower: Switch lights to 12/12 to induce flowering. Expect a noticeable stretch; support branches early as buds will become heavy.
4. Flowering & Ripening: Maintain stable conditions for 8-9 weeks. Reduce humidity in later stages to protect dense buds. A bloom booster can enhance resin production.
5. Harvest & Dry: Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber. Dry slowly in a dark, cool space with good airflow.
6. Cure & Enjoy: Cure the dried buds in jars for several weeks to develop the full, complex lemon-cheese flavor and smooth smoke.

Tips to Integrate It Into Your Habits Without Friction

Keep your grow space organized. Pre-tie your soft plant ties for easy LST application. Because of its stretch and heavy bud development, set up your support nets or stakes early in the flowering stage. This strain's pronounced aroma during late flower means a good carbon filter is a wise investment for discretion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Experience of Pevgrow's CEO (Alan)

Franco's Lemon Cheese holds a special place in my garden, not just for its stellar genetics but for the legacy it represents. I run it in a well-aerated soil mix under LED lights. The key for me is managing that legendary stretch—I top early and use a SCROG net to keep the canopy even and light penetration optimal. The smell in week 6 of flower is absolutely incredible; it's like walking into a bakery making lemon zest pastries with a hint of aged gouda. The high is exactly as advertised: a sharp, clear-headed lift that gets you talking and thinking, which gently melts into a deeply satisfying, stoned relaxation. It's my go-to for weekend afternoons when I want to be productive but also utterly chilled out. Just remember, those branches will sag under the weight of those rock-hard buds, so tie them up well before week 5 of flower.
