This post provides a basic understanding of cannabis flower phenotypes and offers some information on the phenotypes cultivated by GrowHealthy. If you’re already a phenotype expert, you may want to skip this one.
What Is A Phenotype?
First, let’s define the word phenotype. A phenotype, in all things, not just cannabis, is “the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.”1
Cannabis flower phenotypes share the same genetic cross but have varying characteristics resulting from different environmental factors during cultivation, such as light.
Phenotypes Testing & Renaming
Over the past year, we have released many phenotypes in an effort to find the best strains to add to our garden full time. Patient feedback was invaluable in helping us decide which strains to keep! The phenotypes that are staying will be re-released with their new, permanent names. Unique names ensure that patients can easily find the medication that best fits their needs.
GrowHealthy Phenotypes
Lemon Freeze Pop is an example of a phenotype. This strain crosses Lemon Tree and Creamsicle #4 to create a relaxing Indica. GrowHealthy also offers another Lemon Tree and Creamsicle #4 phenotype, Lemon Duchess. Both strains share the same parent cross but have unique terpene profiles, tastes, aromas, and effects.
It is even possible for phenotypes of the same cross to vary by type. For example, Lemon Tree and Creamsicle #4 cross to create Lemon Freeze Pop a relaxing Indica. However, the same cross grown under different conditions creates Lemon Duchess, an energizing Hybrid.
We hope that this renaming process will better enable our patients to find the strain that is best for them!

Amazing taste on the exhale! The smell is just like a lemon freeze pop! The vibe is perfect for day or night.
Kendall –
Probably one of the best I’ve ever had! Taste just like lemon when you exhale:)
Dylan –
Amazing. Smells great, tastes great, and looks beautiful, frosted with trichomes. Only downside is no limonene, which is kinda ironic lol
Big Chungus –
Excellent breeding, I enjoyed at 17%. I am higher tolerance, but this medicine is on point. Very flavorful, smooth smoke. Literally smells and (kinda) tastes like a bomb pop. Will be buying again and PLEASE MAKE SOME ROSIN WITH IT!
Roberto Garcia –
Better than what I expected. Honestly I felt like GH has been declining for the past few months, but I decided to give em a try again and let me tell you, this strain was on point!! Flavor, effect, everything! Made me feel good, nice and great!.
Mark Herring –
Look no further. This is the first comment I’ve ever made reviewing almost anything. This bud has no equal. Best strain I’ve ever seen. If you like lemons and you like sour diesel and skunk then you have to try this. My favorite hands down. Got a bottle of littles and there nothing little about it.
Jared –
Quality medicine. I’ve been back at least 4 times for this strain. Not looking forward to when it’s all gone, definitely a fave of mine now.
Dave –
Great evening medicine. Have gotten this a couple times now. Helps with sleep and chronic pain. GH flower continues to be the best in town.
Kenneth –

Nancy –
Super happy high. Consistently. This is great for chilling out at the end of the night. Relaxing and it’s not going to give you couch lock. High lasts a decent amount of time. New favorite!

Great feeling from this strand. Smells and tastes fresh. 19% feels like 25%
Joe Blow –

Peter –

Dean R. –
Amazing flower! Taste ,smell and looks all top notch. at 19% she smokes like she’s much stronger maybe it’s all the myrcene, puts me right to sleep. With that 70% off sale had to grab an ounce for 120$! Cant get that quality and that deal anywhere else. Keep killing it growhealthy!!
The Show ‘Smart Guy’ was about me –
Maybe it’s due to the batches I got or my tolerance but I didn’t find this to be strictly a night cap. For me, the experience is an extremely airy one. It’s like an eau de toilette of indica pleasure. Very relaxing, to the bone even, but still left me completely functional. I absolutely love stains like that and this is one of those strains. When you compound that with the smell and taste and even just the aesthetic handsomeness of the flower–it’s just utterly fantastic. An eighth of this is always a treat to look forward to and a GOOD eighth of this makes me wanna jump on my bed, very childishly and perhaps with a lady I’m fond of. Utterly fantastic.
Brian –
