My common sense tells me the DNA Lemon Skunk is probably the better of the two and Ive just heard of alot of people loving there lemon skunk, so Im wondering for those with the growing experience of either one which one was better? Im not a hater on greenhouse for the most part, Ive had good success with their strains for the most part, but Im want to get a few packs of lemon skunk and find a mother, but I want to know what the RIU community has to say...if theres others lemon skunks Im unaware of please let me know...Thanks to any1 who has some helpful information...Peace!
 
never grown either but i've heard the GHS lemon skunk referred to as a "watered-down version of DNA's". and every DNA strain i've come across has been straight fire (cannalope haze, LA confidential, LA woman, sharksbreath - all of 'em fantastic in their own way). i say trust ur common sense and go with DNA for sure

Yeah DNA has some solid genetics I would go with the DNA strain as well I had a chance to smoke some of there martian mean green and that was probably one of thee best smokes I ever had I have there collectors pack of seeds the skunk train which is og #18 x skunk, kandy kush x skunk and last which I cant wait to try is sleestack x skunk which I heard is just a beast ! cant wait to grow these strains out but definitely there strains they have are nothing but the best they also have there company out of california Reserva Privada which those strains are nothing but godly !

Yeah that was pretty much my thought, Ive only grown the kandy kush and it was absolute fire but I still had to ask just to make sure. Still would like to hear from anyone who has grown out either one, but Im going with DNA this next order. Peace everyone!

Grew one gh ls and was some of the best tasting and potent mj in my indoor grows. Have 5 more to flower today. Most of the other GH strains i've grown and smoked were kinda average, but ok.

Yeah Ive had pretty good success with GH strains so its not like I just write them off automatically, Ive just seen alot of people that loved their lemon skunk but I never remember seeing whether it was DNA's or GH's, although I just assume more than likely it was DNA lemon skunk most had grown, Im sure both are good. Thanks for the help, anyone else with some info please let me know, thanks to all.

Thanks horribleherk, I really wanted to hear from someone who was or previously grown the DNA or GH version before I made my order, although I was going with DNA regardless unless I heard it was terrible and somehow GH's was completely superior, which is basicly impossible, although gh does have a few good hazes, just cant remember exactly which one it was they have so many with minimal difference, I wish I could remember for sure the one grew a few years ago cause from what Ive heard there are a few that are not all they're cracked up to be...one freebie that I got that was the weirdest plant ever grown was the church, like most people who grew it the plant was incredibly unstable and did nothing but lose most of my respect for GH for releasing it before doing proper breeding to stabilize it, it grew basicly like an extended automatic plant, then just half way through flower which was outdoors during june in northern california, it just stop growing/flowering, thought it might be re-vegging so I gave it a few weeks to see but its just literally stalled out, never had a plant grow like that church,not sure how they screwed it up so bad, even when Ive seen a few people have success with it, probably were GH people trying to save its name. Sad thing is they have some good genetics, but their so in to marketing and money, they've lost touch with just breeding quality over quantity. Thanks again everyone, peace!

i have gh superlemonhaze growing right now i bought a 10 pack & started all 10 , 9 sprouted & 1 died outright another died the following week 3 were good & stable & i cloned them for current grow this is my only dealing with them & that wasnt very good odds in my opinion im happy with the clones i have but i had to work like hell to get there , mine are indoors all of my outdoor stuff budded early this year its been wierd weather pattern all of my stuff i planted early [with the exception of headband] tried to bud at 6'' tall & just runted out & never recovered i live in cen cal on the edge of the delta i dont think the dna-l/s is gonna dissapoint you at all its that good just remember its tall & lanky or at least mine was

Can't speak for GH seeds....just about to start my first grow with their seeds. I grew out DNA's Lemon Skunk and was very pleased. I grew them in soil w/ organic nutes, with just a little supplemental feeding. They smelled and tasted great and the yield was approx. 2 oz/ per plant. Did them in 2 gal grow bags w/ four weeks veg. under 1000 watt HPS.

Yeah I got a pack of super lemon haze that Im waiting for space in my buddies room to run, Ive heard nothing but good reviews for DNA's lemon skunk and from some of the pheno's Ive seen of the super lemon haze there is some crazy ones that are extremely good quality and some that arent so good. I also had that same problem early with this years outdoor, I put out 8 green cracks in late april along with a couple other plants and they all went into bud which I figured hey I'll let them go and re-veg but they never seemed to reverse back over so I just pulled them after a month a moved on, it sure has been a weird outdoor season, although besides that early mishap everything has worked out great for me outdoors. Ive only ran the kushberry from DNA and all of them popped and made it to harvest, wasnt as good as I had hoped but it was still above average. The only reason I was even considering GH lemon kush was because it was part of the cross for the super lemon haze, although Im sure most of quality came from the ssh for sure. As for it being tall and lanky I have plenty of space height wise and I'll probably top or uncle ben top them, or atleast some lst and maybe some fimming, have to ask around and see how they respond to what, maybe best just to let them do what they do. Its official Im going with DNA, there was about a 1% chance regardless but I figured Id ask around a little bit before I really decided, GH has just fallen off every since the companies owners went their seperate ways, which I forget the names besides Arjan but the other guy that left went or started mr. nice guy and I believe thats where alot of the genetics went if Im not mistaken. Thanks for your guys input, I appreciate it, peace!

i got 2 super lemon haze growing on the ground, i got a month more for it to finish flowering. super smelly on these lady over powered all the other sister NL, Hawaiian skunk, cheese, smurfberry, brainstorm i know not a good line up for a noob grow, and i could say its on the next line as the easy strain to grow and clone after my NL. got 3 clones from her just plugged from the ground less than a week its showing roots. just feeding water and osmocote shes about 6ft tall after i topped her coz shes gettin way taller than i want her to be.

ur reffering to shantibaba, yeah the only thing i would order from green house would be there super lemon haze i heard alot of complaints mostly for there church strain. i am waiting for mr nice to restock on there seeds

Yeah exactly shantibaba, dont know how I forgot that name and the cool thing was shanti told me awhile back since I was a medical patient if I emailed him copy of my recommendation he would hook up a 30% discount along with some other incentive type deals, so Im for sure going to take him up on that. I was supposed to order back in march or april when he had fresh stock, now he's had to re-name all his strains cause of the whole mess but hes no doubt got the right genetics Im looking for, kinda like not going by names and paying more attention purely to the make up and dominancy of the cut. Ive heard some decent things about gh, a couple of their hazes and I actually think he had some good trainwreck but I cant remember if that was the one, but I know its not all bad, for sure the church is the most unstable plant Ive ever encountered. I actually had 2 beans I had from orders with attitude, they both popped and were growing fast so I thought hey maybe I just got lucky and got a decent one, so I threw it outside in a 25gl diy garbage can, thing grew good for a few weeks then it mutated started flowering half the plant, other half was still vegging new growth, new 3 leaf sets came out, then it finally just died one morning, weirdest thing Ive ever encountered, which if your gonna release a strain like that on the public then your done in my book, even when it was just some freebie, thats just bad for business not sure why they would even want to release it and give themselves and even worse reputation, along with all the accusations of buying cups, stealing genetics and so on...but for sure from what Ive seen even those from what I hear there are a bunch of phenos in that SLH, if you can get a good one, its some bad ass herb totally worth picking through pack or two if you have the time and room. Try and find this grow by laceygirl and here SLH, although I pissed her off when I asked if she cured her bud, she has a great cut that I would love to get my hands on.

I thinks its gonna be a unanimous decision, probably was a stupid question in the first place but I still wanted to hear your guy's thoughts, something about the lemon skunk has had me intrigued for awhile and I only got 2 so far that have come with orders from attitude so I want a few more, probably a pack, cause hopefully I can find a good keeper and run it for awhile. I just lost an indoor cycle due to mites and aphids, finally threw in the towel couple weeks ago, only salvaged a few blue dreams that I let finish outside and just got cut the other day, for some reason the bugs didnt like the dream which is great cause its one of my absolute favorites these days, cant get enough of it. Im actually surprised cause I heard it didnt produce much outdoors but I decided to throw 4 out anyways and 3 of them are for sure over 2lbs which in my book is a good plant, especially if its a supposed average yielder outdoors, but Ive heard the opposite about it indoors that it was a monster, but this was my first time with it indoors and it turned out great even with the bug problems, and outdoors for a slightly sativa dominant plant its not gonna have an extended flowering time.

I have some GH LS going. Oddly, right next to those are some Shark's Breath and Rock Lock.

I haven't done the DNA LS, but I'm happy with the GH version so far (3 weeks into flowering). The majority of the LS have been growing nicely so far. Most of the phenos seem to be sativa-trees with thin leaflet. Not exactly a giant, but taller than the Shark's Breathe. Oh, the previous comment was referring to indoor. Outdoor, the size of the LS wasn't controlled, so that plant is like 6ft tall and was only put out in the middle of July.

I was in the same boat as you, mites ate my blue cheese and I hate to restart everything. Keep truckin'. I'm not sure what your goals and preferences are, but after a mite blow-out, any legit strain grown fresh will be good.

the gh lemon skunk has been around for awhile & is probabably based on existing genetics & would give good results its a lot of the new stuff ,call me crazy if you will but i still want to grow big-bang someday & should get some seeds before it fades into oblivion

Yeah like I said in the beginning Im not a Greenhouse hater like I alot of people are, their not my favorite breeder by any means but they do have some quality genetics, its more of their new business model and ethics I guess that bug me and the fact they released and hyped up that church when it first came out and it was worthless to almost everyone who tried it, feel bad for anyone who spent money on it. You know maybe just for kicks I will throw in a couple gh lemon skunks just to see all the diffrences. Yeah I cant wait to get everything cleaned up and Im also going to do a small remodel to increase my sq. footage, maybe even add another room so I had two and could get an easy perpetual grow going. Anyone ever tried anything from royal dutch genetics, I hadnt heard of them but they had some strawberry kush that I had to try, Im a sucker for a good kush so we shall see how legit it is, but it sounds good. Cant wait to get my applejack, super fire, hopefully my veg room will be all ready to go here within a week.

just a head up kid...my SLH are sort of pest ressistant, i dun know why maybe the other strains got the punch with those efin mites. so i hope your SLH wouldnt be attacked by these creeps
