Lemon Mascarpone Feminized by LIT Farms

Information on Lemon Mascarpone

Lemon Mascarpone, also known as Lemon Mascorpone, is a feminized photoperiod variety from LIT Farms. It comes from the cross between Love 45 and Sharpiez, two proprietary selections from the Californian seed bank. It's a hybrid with a sweet lemon candy aroma and a very pronounced skunky and chemical background.

Both parents rank in the upper end of the THC scale, so high potency can be expected. By heritage, its effect points to a hybrid profile: it starts with a clear cerebral euphoria and ends in a pleasant physical relaxation.

History of Lemon Mascarpone

Lemon Mascarpone is part of LIT Farms' line of dessert-named varieties. It hit the market within the release known as Sharpiez Drop, a collection of crosses that share Sharpiez as one of the parents. That same batch included varieties like Black Salt, Red Ink, Perma Frost, and Shaved Ice.

The name describes well what the seed bank was looking for. They wanted to combine the sweet tartness of lemon from Love 45 with the richness and funky touch of Sharpiez, like an Italian dessert of lemon and mascarpone.

The initials LIT stand for "Lost In Translation." The seed bank presents itself as the heir to several generations of Californian growers and their motto is that nothing gets lost along the way: not the flavor, not the aroma, not the essence of each plant.

Genetics of Lemon Mascarpone

Lemon Mascarpone is a hybrid that combines two modern lines from LIT Farms. Love 45 contributes a background of indica dominance. Sharpiez is sometimes described as a balanced hybrid and sometimes with an indica leaning, so the variety sits in an intermediate zone with the indica weight of its mother.

The plants reach a medium height and adapt to both indoor and outdoor growing. Both parents stand out for their dense and frosty buds and abundant trichome coverage, traits that this variety can inherit.

Love 45

Love 45, also called Love #45, is a proprietary selection from LIT Farms obtained by crossing Lemonchello #28 with Jealousy. Lemonchello comes from Growing Passion and combines The Original Lemonade with Cherry Pie. Jealousy comes from Gelato 41 and Sherbert Bx1 and was created by Seed Junky Genetics.

Its signature is a flavor that the seed bank itself defines as lemon candy, with a citrus pass reminiscent of an Italian soda and a creamy dessert finish. Its effect combines a mild cerebral euphoria with a progressive body relaxation that doesn't become heavy.

Jealousy, one of Lemon Mascarpone's grandparents, was named Leafly's strain of the year 2022. Those who try it often describe a curious sensation: relaxed mind and energized body.

Sharpiez

Sharpiez is another creation from LIT Farms, the result of crossing Permanent Marker with Zoap. Permanent Marker descends from (Biscotti x Jealousy) x Sherb Bx. Zoap is a cross of Rainbow Sherbet with Pink Guava, with a sweet, floral, and soapy profile.

When opening the jar, Sharpiez releases a chemical ink note, followed by bright citrus and a floral touch. In the mouth it becomes more earthy, with pepper, a diesel touch, and a creamy finish. Its effect usually starts with a cerebral rush that ends in physical calm.

Sharpiez owes its name to permanent markers: its aroma recalls a freshly uncapped marker. Additionally, Jealousy appears in both branches of Lemon Mascarpone's family tree, through Love 45 and through Permanent Marker, which reinforces that sweet and creamy background.

Growing Lemon Mascarpone

Being feminized and photoperiod, Lemon Mascarpone needs to reduce the photoperiod to transition to flowering and allows you to control the plant size indoors. Its flowering lasts between 8 and 10 weeks, that is, 56 to 70 days depending on the phenotype. It's a standard cycle for a modern hybrid of this profile.

Its medium height makes cultivation in a grow tent or room easier without needing large spaces. Outdoors it's grown like any photoperiod, following the natural light cycle. It's advisable to monitor humidity in the final weeks, as its parents produce very compact flowers.

The abundant resin from the Sharpiez family makes a slow dry and careful cure advisable. This preserves the citrus and creamy profile, which is the variety's great appeal.

Flavor and Effect of Lemon Mascarpone

The aroma combines the candied citrus of Love 45 with the skunky and inky background contributed by Sharpiez. The result recalls a lemon candy over an intense chemical base, with a creamy finish that justifies the nod to mascarpone in the name.

By genetics, the terpene profile should revolve around limonene and caryophyllene, present in both branches. Accents of myrcene and linalool may also appear, adding earthy and floral nuances.

The effects are deduced from what their parents convey. What's expected is a euphoric and sociable start, with a clear mind, followed by a growing body relaxation. Due to its potency, it fits afternoon or evening sessions and consumers with some experience.
