Franco’s Lemon Cheese
A legendary Sativa-dominant tribute crossing Exodus Cheese with Super Lemon Haze—created in honor of Franco Loja.
What is Franco’s Lemon Cheese?
Franco’s Lemon Cheese is a powerful Sativa hybrid created by Green House Seeds. It was bred as a tribute to the late Franco Loja, using two of his favorite strains: the pungent Exodus Cheese and the multi-award-winning Super Lemon Haze.
This cultivar represents a perfect synergy of old-school UK funk and Dutch citrus brilliance. While many Sativas can be spindly, this hybrid retains enough of its Cheese heritage to produce massive, resin-drenched colas. It is celebrated for its uplifting, social high and a flavor profile that transitions from a sharp lemon zest to a deep, savory musk.
Terpene Profile
The Franco’s Lemon Cheese terpene profile is unmistakable. It hits with a high-pitched lemon-candy top note that slowly reveals a complex, "skunky" cheese undercurrent. The smoke is thick and flavorful, leaving a long-lasting savory citrus coating on the palate.
Growing Franco’s Lemon Cheese
This is a vigorous, medium-to-tall plant that requires support. Its Sativa dominance means it has a significant stretch during the first weeks of flower. It is a hungry plant that loves a steady nutrient regimen, especially during its 9–11 week flowering period.
Cultivation Strategy
-
ScroggingDue to its vigor, a SCROG net is highly recommended to manage the canopy height.
-
FeedingResponds well to higher levels of Phosphorus and Potassium in mid-flower.
A portion of the proceeds from this strain goes to the Franco Loja Fund, supporting the education of his children and continuing his legacy in landrace preservation.
Effects & Experience
The high is described as "energizing and social." It is a classic daytime Sativa that provides a creative spark without the heavy physical "crash" associated with Indica-heavy crosses.
