Medicine doesn't have to taste like medicine. CBD Lemon Potion Auto proves it.
This strain was bred for the patient who needs relief but misses the joy of smoking high-grade "Recreational" cannabis. It bridges the gap perfectly. By pairing the zesty, spicy kick of a Lemon Kush with the healing power of the CBD Crew's genetics, Barney's Farm created a "Potion" that soothes the body, quiets the mind, and delights the palate—all in a fast-finishing autoflower format.
History and Lineage: The Zesty Collaboration
This strain is another fruit of the successful partnership between Barney’s Farm and the CBD Crew.
The Mother (BF Lemon Kush): A cross of Lemon G x Kush. It was chosen for its intense lemon-peel aroma and its hardy, bushy growth structure. It brings the "fun" to the mix.
The Father (CBD Crew Enhanced Auto): The proprietary breeding stock that introduces both the autoflowering trait and the high-CBD cannabinoid profile.
The Synthesis: The goal was a specific ratio. Unlike 1:1 strains, Lemon Potion often tests at 1:2 (THC:CBD). This means the CBD dominates the experience, effectively neutralizing the psychoactivity of the THC while maximizing the anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory effects.
Terpene Profile: Spicy Lemonade
The name is accurate. The aroma is dominated by sharp citrus notes, but with a spicy, kushy undertone.
Dominant Terpenes
Limonene (The Citrus): The star player. It provides a bright, awakening scent of fresh lemon zest and sour lime. It also aids in mood elevation.
Caryophyllene (The Spice): Inherited from the Kush lineage. It adds a peppery, spicy kick that gives the smoke body and complexity.
Myrcene (The Calm): Anchors the citrus with a subtle earthy and musky base, enhancing the relaxing effects.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It is vibrant. It smells of spicy lemons, wet earth, and herbal tea.
The Smoke: Crisp and refreshing. It tastes of sour lemon candy, black pepper, and pine. It is a smooth smoke that doesn't irritate the throat.
Strain Effects: The Lucid Sedation
CBD Lemon Potion Auto is defined by its high CBD content. It is not about getting "high"; it is about getting "centered."
The Experience
The Clarity: With THC levels often below 8%, there is almost no intoxication. You remain completely sharp, focused, and present.
The Relief: The high CBD content (up to 15%) acts as a nervous system dampener. Anxiety, tremors, and stress seem to evaporate.
The Body: A gentle, warm buzz spreads through the body. It isn't heavy enough to lock you to the couch, but it is enough to loosen tight shoulders or soothe aching joints.
The Mood: Users often report a subtle mood lift, likely due to the Limonene terpenes working in concert with the cannabinoids.
Best For: Daytime anxiety relief, working while medicated, inflammation, mild depression, and first-time cannabis users.
Growing CBD Lemon Potion Auto: The Bushy Healer
This is a generous plant. It grows with the vigor of a hybrid and produces surprisingly heavy yields for a CBD auto.
Growth Structure
The Shape: It grows Short and Bushy. It branches out significantly, often growing as wide as it is tall (approx 80-90cm).
The Yield: High. It is a producer. The branches fill with dense, sticky buds. Indoor yields of 400g/m² are common.
The Time: It finishes in 9 to 10 weeks (70 days) from seed.
The Leaves: It can be quite leafy. Growers should perform leaf tucking or light defoliation to ensure light reaches the inner bud sites.
The Resilience: It is generally robust and easy to grow, tolerant of minor mistakes in feeding or watering.
Grower’s Tip: Because this strain produces such a high volume of CBD-rich resin, it is an excellent candidate for making homemade tinctures or oils. The lemon terpene profile transfers beautifully into olive oil or MCT oil extractions.
Final Verdict: The Tasty Therapy
CBD Lemon Potion Auto is the perfect strain for the modern world. It offers a way to disconnect from stress without disconnecting from reality. It provides a massive dose of CBD in a format that tastes like a top-shelf Lemon Kush. Whether you are a medical patient tired of bland hemp or a recreational user looking for a "tolerance break" strain that still tastes great, this potion is the remedy.
