A zesty burst of citrus, energetic uplift, and potent effects—Lemon Zest Hybrid by Florida Dep is a standout flower available via Surterra Miami. Cultivated by the respected Florida‑based provider, this strain combines eye‑opening clarity with mood‑elevating energy.
Origins & Genetics
Florida Dep’s Lemon Zest is believed to derive from a cross of Lemonade x OG Eddy, bred by Dying Breed Seeds. Despite the lineage’s relative obscurity, it’s marketed as a heavily sativa‑dominant hybrid, typically around 95% sativa / 5% indica.
Appearance, Aroma & Flavor
The buds are visually striking: dense yet fluffy spade‑shaped minty green nugs peppered with long orange pistils and a thick frosting of amber trichomes, giving a faint golden sheen.
Aroma and flavor burst with tart, sour lemon and sweet citrus, layered over creamy, buttery undertones and earthy herbal spice. Some users detect a light diesel note as well.
Potency & Effects
Lemon Zest typically tests between 18% and 24% THC, offering a strong yet clean sativa energy that can flourish throughout the day. Effects include:
- Creative, focused energy – useful for brainstorming, tasks requiring mental clarity, or getting motivated.
- Elevated mood and mild euphoria, often sparking giggles and lightness.
- Sociable uplift – great for low‑key socializing or staying active rather than couch‑locked.
Reported downsides are minimal, with dry mouth being the most common minor effect.

- Stress and anxiety, thanks to its uplifting, energizing profile (42% and 35% respectively, on Leafly’s user ratings).
