Super Lemon Haze is a sativa-leaning cannabis strain with a fresh lemon zest, light skunk, sweet menthol on the exhale profile, 18-25% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of terpinolene, limonene, caryophyllene. It is best known for morning hustle, gym session before work, the day that needs to start at 6am, with effects setting in fast and bright - 2-3 minutes, sharp daytime peak. Terp Bros NYC stocks Super Lemon Haze-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
Super Lemon Haze is typically reported as a sativa-leaning experience: morning hustle, gym session before work, the day that needs to start at 6am. Onset is fast and bright - 2-3 minutes, sharp daytime peak. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Customers walking into our Astoria and Ozone Park stores who ask for Super Lemon Haze are usually chasing one of three things: the specific terpene-driven feel, the genetic lineage they have liked in past cuts, or the consistent batch-to-batch experience the licensed program provides. We get all three at the counter, and we ask follow-up questions before recommending a specific format.
For the energy and focus side of the conversation, Super Lemon Haze tends to deliver a forward-leaning, conversational, occasionally creative state. The cerebral lift is the leading edge - body relaxation is secondary if it happens at all.
For the mood lift conversation, Super Lemon Haze has a reputation for social courage and conversational ease. People who get socially anxious in groups report this terpene profile takes the edge off without flattening their personality. Microdosing works well - half a pre-roll, a single inhale from a vape, or a 2.5mg edible can be enough to shift the conversation tone.
For the pain and physical-discomfort conversation, the dominant terpene matters as much as the THC. Caryophyllene is in this profile and binds CB2 receptors, the same receptors targeted by most prescription anti-inflammatory drugs. Customers with chronic muscle tension, post-workout recovery, or general inflammation often report meaningful relief from caryophyllene-dominant cuts even at moderate THC.
We do not make medical claims at the counter. NY OCM rules and our own house policy keep us from telling a customer that Super Lemon Haze will treat their condition. What we will do is explain the terpene research, ask what has and has not worked in the past, and help match a product format and dose to the goal. For customers using a NY medical card or following NYC OCM medical-program guidance, we can also walk through what the certified medical labels in our case say about minor cannabinoids alongside the strain genetics.
A short note on tolerance: regular cannabis users build tolerance to THC, not to terpenes. The Super Lemon Haze experience at a 22% THC indoor flower batch and a 28% THC indoor flower batch is functionally similar on the terpene side. The THC number changes how much you need to inhale, not how the strain feels.
Terpene Profile
Super Lemon Haze is built on a dominant terpene stack of terpinolene, limonene, caryophyllene, which together produce the fresh lemon zest, light skunk, sweet menthol on the exhale aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Terpenes are the aromatic oil compounds the cannabis plant produces in its trichomes. They are the same molecules responsible for the flavor and smell of lavender, mango, lemon peel, pine needles, hops, and black pepper. When you smell fresh lemon zest, light skunk, sweet menthol on the exhale in a jar of Super Lemon Haze, you are smelling the same compounds you would smell in those ingredients, just concentrated into the cannabis flower.
Every Terp Bros NYC flower jar comes with the full terpene certificate of analysis printed on the side or available via the QR code. Part 113 of the NY OCM rules requires our cultivators to test for at least 25 terpenes per batch, and we make those results available on the counter and on the Dutchie product page so customers can match what is on the label to what is in the flower.
Terpinolene
Terpinolene is the most-uncommon dominant terpene on a modern menu - only about 1 in 10 cuts test as terpinolene-led. It smells like a mix of pine, herb, and a bright woody citrus. Terpinolene is closely associated with the classic "sativa" cerebral lift - creative, racy, sometimes anxious at high doses. It is the marker terpene for Jack Herer, Durban Poison, and other landrace-leaning sativas. In Super Lemon Haze specifically, terpinolene contributes cerebral, racy, classic sativa-style head energy.
Limonene
Limonene is the bright citrus-rind terpene that shows up in lemons, oranges, and grapefruit. It is associated with mood elevation, stress reduction, and a clear-headed kind of euphoria. Limonene-dominant strains tend to feel daytime-friendly - uplifting without the racing-thoughts edge that pure-sativa terpinolene can trigger. In Super Lemon Haze specifically, limonene contributes mood-elevating, clear-headed euphoria, daytime-friendly.
Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene is the only terpene known to also act as a cannabinoid - it binds CB2 receptors, the same receptors targeted for inflammation and pain. It tastes peppery and spicy, the same compound that gives black pepper its bite. Caryophyllene-heavy strains tend to feel anti-inflammatory and supportive on muscle tension, even when THC is moderate. In Super Lemon Haze specifically, caryophyllene contributes anti-inflammatory, muscle-supportive, anxiety-easing at lower doses.
Beyond the top three dominant terpenes, Super Lemon Haze typically tests positive for a handful of minor terpenes in trace amounts: alpha-bisabolol, geraniol, terpineol, and others depending on the cultivar and the growing conditions. These do not show up in dominant aromatics but they contribute to the full-spectrum feel of the flower, often described as the "entourage effect" - the idea that whole-plant cannabis feels different from the same THC dose delivered as an isolate, because the minor terpenes and minor cannabinoids modify the experience.
A short note on extraction: when Super Lemon Haze flower is processed into live rosin or live resin, the terpene profile carries through almost intact because both extraction methods are designed to preserve volatile compounds. When Super Lemon Haze is processed into distillate vape oil, most of the terpenes are stripped during the distillation pass and are typically re-introduced as either cannabis-derived or botanically-derived terps. This is part of why a Super Lemon Haze live rosin tastes much closer to the flower than a Super Lemon Haze distillate cart does. If chasing the genuine Super Lemon Haze experience matters, asking the budtender for the live-rosin or live-resin format is the closest you will get to the flower in a concentrate.
Lineage + Genetics
Super Lemon Haze traces back to Lemon Skunk crossed with Super Silver Haze, with a documented origin story rooted in Netherlands - Greenhouse Seed Co, multiple Cannabis Cup winner across the late 2000s. The flowering time runs 9-10 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Understanding the lineage matters because cannabis genetics are not random - they predict the terpene profile, the cannabinoid spread, and the structural feel of the high. A strain with Afghani in the lineage will lean indica even when the modern hybrid has a sativa-leaning name. A strain with Haze in the lineage will lean cerebral even when it is sold as a hybrid. When our budtenders ask "what have you liked before?" the answer often points to the lineage tree, not the marketing name.
Super Lemon Haze sits in the broader cannabis family tree as a sativa-leaning expression - closer to the equatorial landrace genetics from which all modern sativas descend. The bright, energy-forward feel is the genetic signature of those long-flowering-window equatorial cultivars.
In the modern NY market, lineage also predicts batch availability. Strains with stable, well-documented parent cultivars tend to show up consistently at multiple licensed cultivators across the program, because the seed stock is robust and predictable. Super Lemon Haze falls into this category - multiple NY-licensed cultivators run a phenotype of this lineage, which means batch-to-batch consistency is reasonable across the program.
For customers who chase specific phenotypes - "the cut from that grower" - we keep notes at the counter on which NY cultivators are running which Super Lemon Haze phenotypes and what the recent terpene certificate of analysis looked like. When the cut changes batches we tell you at the counter so you can decide if the new batch is what you came in for.
Budtender Notes - Queens-Specific Observations
Across our Astoria store at 36-10 Ditmars Blvd and our Ozone Park store at 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd, Super Lemon Haze pulls a specific kind of customer. Here is what we see at the counter, day in and day out, that you will not get from a national-database product page.
when someone walks in saying they need to clean the apartment, we point at Super Lemon Haze first. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
In Astoria, Super Lemon Haze tends to move with the daytime-creative pickup crowd - people heading home from a shift at one of the Ditmars-area restaurants, gallery employees from Long Island City, freelance creatives working out of the cafes on 30th Avenue. Pre-rolls and vapes outsell flower by about 2:1 for this terpene profile because they are the format people grab on the way out the door.
In Ozone Park, Super Lemon Haze tends to move with the morning-shift and weekend-energy crowd - Resorts World workers picking up before a shift, customers coming off the A train, weekend hikers heading to Forest Park or Jamaica Bay. The delivery side of the Cross Bay Blvd business carries this terpene profile heavily in the 11am to 4pm window.
A specific budtender observation we have logged on Super Lemon Haze: we steer sleep-spec customers away from this strain. The terpene profile and the felt experience are not built for going to bed. Customers who try to use it as a sleep aid usually report racing thoughts or restless body, and we have had returning customers tell us the next morning that they should have listened. If sleep is the goal, we redirect to a myrcene + linalool-dominant indica.
We also track which Super Lemon Haze cuts come through which NY cultivators. The cultivar can stay the same name and the phenotype can change. When that happens we will tell you at the counter, and the certificate of analysis will show it. Lab-tested transparency is the difference between a CAURD-licensed retail shelf and the unlicensed era this market just left.
How to Try Super Lemon Haze in Queens
Terp Bros NYC stocks Super Lemon Haze-family flower, pre-rolls, vapes, and concentrates across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, and we deliver same-day across most of Queens. Every product on our shelf is lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards with a certificate of analysis available on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
You have a few ways to try Super Lemon Haze:
- In-store at Astoria (36-10 Ditmars Blvd) - closest N/W train stop is Ditmars Blvd, two blocks away. Our team can walk you through the current Super Lemon Haze-family inventory, show you the certificate of analysis on the flower, and recommend a format based on your goal for the session. Browse the Astoria menu or see the Astoria location page for hours and directions.
- In-store at Ozone Park (135-26 Cross Bay Blvd) - easy parking on Cross Bay, near the Aqueduct A train stop and Resorts World. Same product selection as Astoria, same trained budtenders, often easier to get in and out during weekend hours. Browse the Ozone Park menu or see the Ozone Park location page for hours.
- Same-day delivery across Queens - typical delivery window is 60 to 90 minutes from order. Both stores cover overlapping zones, so we route from whichever store has the Super Lemon Haze-family product you want. See delivery zones + place an order.
- Format choice - for the full Super Lemon Haze flavor profile, ask for the flower or pre-roll. For a more controlled session length, ask for the vape or a live-rosin concentrate. For longer-duration evening use, ask for an edible - note that NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving and 100mg per package.
If Super Lemon Haze is not currently in stock, we will tell you that openly and recommend the closest available terpene profile from the current menu. Strain availability cycles with NY cultivator harvest windows, so the menu changes weekly.
Is Super Lemon Haze good for sleep? Generally no. Super Lemon Haze's terpene profile (terpinolene + limonene) is not built for sleep. Customers who try it as a sleep aid often report racing thoughts or restless body. For sleep specifically, ask the budtender about myrcene + linalool indica options or a CBN-blend edible.
Does Super Lemon Haze cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. Super Lemon Haze contains caryophyllene (anxiety-easing), limonene (mood-elevating) which are anxiety-friendly terpenes. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis-induced anxiety, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of Super Lemon Haze? Super Lemon Haze typically tests in the 18-25% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator - every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Where can I buy Super Lemon Haze in Queens? Terp Bros NYC carries Super Lemon Haze-family flower, pre-rolls, vapes, and concentrates at both our Astoria store (36-10 Ditmars Blvd) and Ozone Park store (135-26 Cross Bay Blvd). We also deliver same-day to most of Queens. Order online or walk into either store.
Is Super Lemon Haze safe for first-time cannabis customers? Super Lemon Haze runs 18-25% THC and can feel intense for first-time customers, especially in flower or pre-roll format. We recommend first-time customers start with a 2.5mg edible or a single inhale from a vape, and work up only after seeing how the strain feels at the lower dose.
