Lime Cake
Also known as: Lime Cake Kush
Lime Cake Strain Overview
Lime Cake is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created through the crossbreeding of Wedding Cake and Lime OG. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the growing trend of dessert-themed cannabis varieties, combining the popular genetics of Wedding Cake with the distinctive citrus profile of Lime OG. Breeders sought to create a strain that offered both the relaxing effects of indica-dominant hybrids and the uplifting cerebral qualities of sativas, resulting in a versatile cultivar that has gained popularity in both recreational and medical cannabis markets.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the bud structure. Lime Cake plants tend to produce medium to large yields with proper cultivation, making them appealing to both commercial growers and home cultivators. The strain's name accurately reflects its most prominent sensory characteristics, combining cake-like sweetness with pronounced citrus notes.
Notable features of Lime Cake include its complex terpene profile that delivers a multi-layered flavor experience and its relatively balanced effects that make it suitable for various times of day. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in numerous cannabis publications for its unique combination of dessert and citrus flavors. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Lime Cake has developed a dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its distinctive flavor profile and versatile effects.

Lime Cake Strain Growing Information
Lime Cake is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, providing adequate support for branches during late flowering due to dense bud development, and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yields. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual flush before harvest to enhance flavor profiles.
