Mr Clean strain guide
Mr Clean, also written Mr. Clean, is a sativa-leaning hybrid of Lime Skunk and The Cube. It is known for a sharp lemon-lime smell with a skunky edge, and for an upbeat, energetic feel that people often describe as clear-headed.
Where does Mr Clean come from?
Two strain databases both list Mr Clean as a cross of Lime Skunk and The Cube. The Cube is a proprietary line from Exotic Genetix, and one guide credits that breeder with Mr Clean as well, though one strain database doesn't name a breeder.
One site gives a different cross, Lime Skunk and Tina, but no other source backs it up, so we are going with the pairing the two main listings agree on. One strain database also lists the spellings Mister Clean and Sr. Clean.
What does Mr Clean smell and taste like?
Expect lemon and lime first, with a sour, slightly skunky and earthy side. Reviewers describe a sweet-and-sour citrus candy taste, and some mention grassy, pine or tropical notes.
One strain database lists caryophyllene first, followed by myrcene and limonene, while another version of its listing names terpinolene. Terpene results vary between producers, so your batch's lab report is the better guide.
Mr Clean effects: what people report
People most often describe Mr Clean as energetic, uplifted and focused, with some also calling it creative, euphoric and happy. That fits its sativa lean, though the label isn't a guarantee of how it feels.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the common complaints, and a few people mention feeling paranoid or anxious.
How strong is Mr Clean?
Listings put Mr Clean at roughly 20% to 27% THC, with little to no CBD. You may also see much higher numbers on vape and concentrate products, but those are extracts, not flower.
If you are new to it, start with a small amount and wait before having more. The THC and CBD numbers on your batch's label matter more than the strain name. See our guide to reading cannabis labels.
Buying Mr Clean in Canada
Mr Clean shows up in listings as flower and as the flavour name for some vape cartridges, which may only borrow its terpene profile. Read the label to see which one you are getting.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its citrus smell.
Mr Clean vs Lemon Skunk
Lemon Skunk is described as a phenotype of Skunk #1, and there is no documented family link between the two, so this is a comparison of similar-sounding profiles rather than relatives. Both lean lemony and skunky. Mr Clean reads sharper, with lime and a tart candy note, and is more often called energetic. Lemon Skunk is usually described as sweeter and softer. If you want a bright, zesty profile, try Mr Clean. For a mellower lemon, try Lemon Skunk.
