Lime Shot
Lime Shot Strain Overview
Lime Shot is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to combine potent effects with distinctive citrus flavors. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it is generally accepted to be a carefully selected phenotype from a larger breeding project focused on citrus-forward cultivars. The strain gained recognition through cannabis competitions and connoisseur circles before becoming more widely available through select seed banks and dispensaries.
The strain is characterized by its vibrant green buds that are often accented with subtle purple hues when grown in cooler conditions. The flowers are typically dense and resinous, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Lime Shot's most distinguishing feature is its pronounced lime aroma, which is immediately noticeable upon opening the container. The buds have a moderately sticky texture and break apart with a satisfying crispness that releases additional citrus notes.
Lime Shot represents a balanced hybrid expression that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. Growers appreciate its relatively straightforward cultivation requirements and reliable performance, while consumers seek it out for its consistent effects and memorable flavor profile. The strain has developed a following among those who prefer citrus-dominant strains but desire more complexity than simple lemon or orange varieties typically offer.

Lime Shot Strain Growing Information
Lime Shot is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. 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 tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or LST to manage height and improve light penetration. Lime Shot requires good air circulation to prevent mold in its dense buds and responds well to organic nutrients. The plants show good resistance to common pests and diseases but should be monitored for powdery mildew in humid conditions.
