Pure SunFarms Lemon Octane
While quality is decent it’s not taking you places you haven’t seen before. Has a nice flavour profile that features lemon and skunky fuel but the sweet sides of the composition take the limelight.
Lemon Octane
I went by Value Buds in mid-July 2023 to buy a handful of items. Had my eyes set on one of the Donny Burger crosses Pure SunFarms has made available and ended up buying an eighth of a Donny Burger x White Diesel cross they call Lemon Octane.
Visuals
Mix of small and medium buds. Some petiole on the larger buds. Surface details look pretty clean, especially with respect to my previous experiences with PSF. These flowers have impressive trichome coverage and they are largely intact.

Feel
Feel is good. More chewy than dry. Can impress and remain intact but it doesn’t return well. Probably works well for smoking, will do pretty good in the vape too.
Scents
Scents are nice and friendly with green tropical tones over subtle gas. Sweet earths that carry a bit of melon on it form the bottom of the profile. Character remains friendly but somewhat nondescript. It surely doesn’t hint at any influence from the Donny Burger. Regardless, it’s well rounded and pronounced, not loud but does have presence.
Taste
Tastes hint at sweet lemon and melon on the frontage, overbalanced by a gassy earth mix that becomes a bit more skunky on the exhale. Secondary notes are slight but become more present with use as the profile dries down into a sweet floral resin, which is actually quite nice.
Value
Perhaps the bottom line, what this does have going for it is price. At $18 and change for a eighth of an ounce (or half-quarter) of product that’s arguably above average it’s hard to deny the value here.

Summary
While quality is decent, with well-rounded flavours, it is likely not taking you places you haven’t seen before. Doesn’t live up to the name Lemon Octane in my opinion but it is a really nice flavour profile that features lemon and skunky fuel. The sweet sides of the composition take the limelight but also share space with many of the cake-y flavours available in the market today.
