Black Lime
Also known as: Black Lime Reserve, Black Lime Special Reserve, Black Lime Special
Overview
Black Lime, also known as Black Lime Reserve or Black Lime Special Reserve, is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that measures 70% indica and 30% sativa. The strain is bred by Aficionado Seeds and descends from Woodman Canyon Oil Can, Lime Afghani, Northern Lights, Purple Kush, and Chemdawg Special Reserve. This distinguished strain won second place overall in the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup, establishing its reputation in the cannabis community.
The strain exhibits distinctive visual characteristics with buds that are a classic cannabis green, often with hints of purple or black accents, dense and fluffy, covered in a thick layer of trichomes with thin and sharp orange pistils. Some phenotypes produce flowers so purple they appear almost black. The complex genetic lineage creates a unique strain that stands out for its densely packed buds and compelling blend of aromas and effects. Black Lime sits in the celebrated circle of West Coast heirloom-hybrid cultivars prized for old-school spice layered over vivid citrus, with a reputation for dense, resin-caked flowers and a cooling, lime-peel bouquet.

Growing Information
Black Lime is an easy-to-grow strain that is ideal for beginner cultivators, though seeds can be difficult to find and are available in limited quantities online. While this strain can be grown indoors and outdoors, many cultivators choose to grow outdoors due to the strong scents that Black Lime emits. The Black Lime strain thrives in temperate, dry, and warm Mediterranean climates and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. When grown outdoors, Black Lime can reach impressive heights of 5-8 feet or more, while indoor plants maintain a similar stature. The strain has a manageable flowering period of 61 to 68 days, with an outdoor harvest expected in late September. Black Lime is known for growing rather tall and a bit gangly, so it certainly benefits from pruning. The strain is well known for its very noticeable and prolific aroma while it grows, requiring proper ventilation for indoor cultivation or well-concealed outdoor locations.
