Lime Ice Water
Also known as: Lime Ice Water OG, Lime Ice Water Kush
Lime Ice Water Strain Overview
Lime Ice Water is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from West Coast breeding programs. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have been developed by crossing Lime OG with Ice Water, two strains known for their distinct aromatic profiles and potent effects. Breeders sought to combine Lime OG's pronounced citrus terpene profile with Ice Water's smooth, clean smoke and balanced hybrid effects, resulting in a strain that has gained a cult following among connoisseurs despite limited commercial availability.
The strain is characterized by its dense, frosty buds that are typically medium to large in size, with a structure that leans slightly toward the indica side of its hybrid heritage. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a sparkling, icy appearance that inspired part of the strain's name. The most distinctive feature of Lime Ice Water is its powerful aroma profile, which combines sharp citrus notes with undertones of earth and pine.
Lime Ice Water is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain's potency and complex flavor profile have made it particularly valued by experienced users seeking a nuanced cannabis experience. Due to its limited distribution and specific growing requirements, Lime Ice Water remains more commonly found in boutique dispensaries and among specialty growers rather than in mainstream cannabis markets.

Lime Ice Water Strain Growing Information
Lime Ice Water is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Lime Ice Water requires careful attention to nutrient levels, particularly during the flowering phase when it is susceptible to nutrient burn. The strain benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) to maximize light penetration and improve yields.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate support for the heavy colas as they mature. The strain responds well to organic growing methods, which can enhance the terpene profile. Growers should be prepared for the strong aroma during flowering, which requires effective carbon filtration in indoor setups.
