The Skunk #1 Parent

Skunk #1 is one of the most important strains in cannabis history. It is usually credited to Sacred Seeds in California in the 1970s and is commonly described as a blend of Afghani, Acapulco Gold and Colombian Gold. It later traveled to the Netherlands, where it became one of the foundations of the Dutch seed industry.

In the Lemon Pie strain, Skunk #1 is credited with the classic, dank base under the citrus. Leafly’s Skunk #1 profile, in our sources, covers the parent in more detail.

The Amnesia Haze Parent

Amnesia Haze is a Dutch Haze line, usually described as a blend of Southeast Asian, Jamaican and Afghani genetics, and it won Cannabis Cup recognition in the 2000s. It is known for a bright citrus, lemon and earthy spice aroma, the classic Haze profile.

In the Lemon Pie strain, Amnesia Haze is credited with the lemon and pine top notes that give the line its name.

Why Skunk x Haze Is a Classic Pairing

Crossing a Skunk line with a Haze line is one of the oldest moves in modern breeding. Skunk lines brought a dense, dank base and a reputation for consistency. Haze lines brought bright citrus, spice and a lighter, airier character. Breeders in the 1980s and 1990s combined them again and again, and many famous Dutch strains came out of that work.

The Lemon Pie strain follows that tradition. Skunk #1 gives the cross its earthy, grounded base, and Amnesia Haze pushes the aroma toward lemon and pine. The result is a classic profile with a sweeter, dessert-style name.

For buyers who like breeding history, Lemon Pie seeds are a modern example of a pairing that helped build the Dutch seed industry.

Best Coast Genetics and the Lemon Pie Seeds We Carry

The Lemon Pie seeds in our shop come from Best Coast Genetics as a regular line. Regular seeds are valued by buyers and breeders because they hold the full natural variation of a cross rather than a narrow selection.

Our explainer on feminized vs. regular seeds covers the difference, and the Best Coast Genetics catalog lists the breeder’s other lines, including LSD Auto.

Lemon Pie Terpenes and Aroma Layers

Reported lead terpenes for the Lemon Pie strain are terpinolene, myrcene and caryophyllene. Terpinolene adds a fresh, fruity and piney lift, myrcene adds an earthy sweetness and caryophyllene adds a light pepper.

Buyers describe sweet lemon and pine first, then a soft earthy base with a faint spice, which is where the pie half of the name comes from. We list terpenes for aroma only and make no claims about effects. See our guide to terpenes in cannabis.

Lemon Pie Seeds in a Citrus Collection

Lemon Pie seeds pair well with other citrus lines such as Lemon Zkittlez Zest, and with Skunk descendants like Cheese Auto, to show how one classic parent carried into very different aromas.

Keep each pack sealed, cool, dark and dry, out of reach of children and pets, with a note of the breeder and purchase date.

A short note with the lineage helps too, since the Skunk and Haze history is a big part of the story.
