Strain History
Genetics
Clementine is a brilliant cross between an award-winning Lemon Skunk phenotype and Tangie Dream. This means that there are some famous and powerful strains within its family tree.
The most iconic of these are Skunk #1 and Citrus Skunk, both of which are seriously dense and powerful smoking experiences. As such, it’s no surprise that Clementine can also rock your socks off.
Origin
Clementine was created by the farmers at Crockett Family Farms, who are based in Central Coast, California.
Strain Profile
Strain Appearance
Clementine is a visual delight to look at, with its dense buds of olive and forest greens dancing beautifully with the purple tones throughout.
The orange pistils seem subtle but shine brightly when put under light. The leaves and buds are true ‘sugar leaves’, as the coating of milky white trichomes makes them look almost completely white.
Strain Flavor
Packed with a strong orange citrus flavor, this bud is incredible to smoke. The punchy sweetness of the citrus, with hints of lemon, is complemented by a cheeky diesel undertone and refreshing pine notes.
Smoking Clementine is truly a sensory delight, light enough to keep active but powerful enough to draw in the senses and keep you wanting more.
Strain Aroma
The powerful and consuming citruses of the flavor are also dominant with the aromatics of this train. The combination of sweet citrus, sharp lemon, earthy pine and sour diesel creates a dense but highly aromatic smoke.
Strain Cannabinoids
The THC content of Clementine typically ranges between 17-19%, making it not too overwhelming but still packing some power. The strain also contains small amounts of CBG at around 1%.
Strain Terpenes
Terpinolene is the dominant terpene in Clementine, and it has a vast array of potential medical benefits. It is known for its antioxidant properties, it has natural antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties.
It also has strong sedative effects and works as a mild central nervous system depressant.
Caryophyllene is quite unique in that it can directly activate cannabinoid receptors in the brain. It works as a treatment for both physical and mental discomfort.
Many strains with high levels are being used in the treatment of anxiety, chronic pain, and fatigue.
Myrcene brings earthy aromas to the nose and can be found in nature in lemongrass and thyme. Myrcene has strong anti-inflammatory and sedative effects that allow it to treat a number of chronic pain and sleep-related issues.
Strain Effects & Side Effects
Clementine exhibits the effects one would usually expect from such a Sativa heavy strain. Users feel uplifted, energized,
focused, and creative, whilst they are able to find a relaxed peace of mind and create calm even amongst the storm of the mind.
Many felt a general improvement in mood and a more balanced state of mind. After consuming, you may find a rapid increase in your desire to eat, so keep something nearby to save raiding the kitchen.
The engaging head high can be overtaken by a heavy body high upon heavy or extended consumption. These can leave you stuck to the couch or struggling to wake up from an unexpected afternoon nap.
Some users also reported feelings of anxiety and paranoia, though this is often down to not respecting one’s tolerance. Go slow if you’re not an experienced smoker to ensure you only experience the positive effects of the strain.
Medical Benefits
Due to the strain’s loaded terpene profile, there are numerous potential medical benefits to be found. The elevated mindset allows for suffers from chronic stress, anxiety, or depression to shake off the black dog from their shoulders.

Strain Grow Info

The plants can grow up to 6 feet and have bushy lateral branches, so they can take up quite a lot of space. It is regarded as a moderately easy strain to grow as it’s quite resistant to disease and bugs.
