Lime Breath
Also known as: Lime Breath OG
Lime Breath Strain Overview
Lime Breath is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s through the crossbreeding of Mendo Breath and Lime OG. This strain represents a deliberate effort by breeders to combine the relaxing, sedative qualities of Mendo Breath with the uplifting, citrus-forward characteristics of Lime OG. The resulting hybrid has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that indicates high potency. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure that breaks apart to reveal complex aromatic compounds. Lime Breath plants exhibit traits from both parent strains, often showing the sturdy branching of indica varieties while maintaining some of the height and structure associated with sativa genetics.
Notable features include its exceptionally strong lime aroma that dominates the terpene profile, along with a complex secondary scent profile that includes earthy, diesel, and sweet undertones. The strain's effects are known for their balanced nature, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Lime Breath has become particularly popular among users seeking daytime relief from various conditions while maintaining functionality.

Lime Breath Strain Growing Information
Lime Breath is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 4-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors, exhibiting a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Lime Breath prefers a stable climate with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold development in the dense buds.
Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation around the plants due to the dense bud structure, monitoring for common pests like spider mites, and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering when buds become heavy. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual reduction in nitrogen during the flowering phase to enhance terpene production.
