About Lemon Shiv

Lemon Shiv is a hybrid bred from Cap’s Frozen Lemons and Shiver Me Timbers.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 35 flower samples tested between 2022 and 2023 came in at a median of 25.3% total THC (the middle half ranged from 23.6% to 26.4%). CBD is typically negligible (under 0.5%). That puts it at the strong end of the market, so newer consumers should start low. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.

Aroma, flavour and terpenes

In lab tests its dominant terpene is terpinolene, followed by pinene and limonene. Terpinolene is known for fresh, herbal brightness with hints of pine and flowers, while pinene adds sharp, fresh pine. Total terpene content measured a median of 1.6%.
