Lime Terpene
Also known as: Lime Terp, Lime Terpene OG
Lime Terpene Strain Overview
Lime Terpene is a modern cannabis strain specifically bred to emphasize its distinctive lime aroma and flavor profile. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, it appears to be a carefully selected phenotype from a larger breeding project focused on terpene expression, likely involving citrus-forward parent strains. The strain gained recognition in the 2010s among connoisseurs and breeders interested in unique aromatic profiles, particularly for its sharp, authentic lime character that distinguishes it from more common citrus varieties.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance. The flowers are typically light to medium green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler temperatures, covered in a generous layer of frosty trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The most notable feature is its powerful aroma—when properly cured, the buds emit a sharp, zesty lime scent reminiscent of fresh lime zest, often with subtle undertones of fuel and earthiness.
Lime Terpene represents a growing trend in cannabis breeding where specific terpene profiles are prioritized alongside cannabinoid content. While not as historically documented as classic landrace strains, it has developed a following among users seeking a particular sensory experience. The strain's effects are generally balanced, though individual phenotypes may express more sativa or indica characteristics. Its cultivation requires attention to environmental factors to fully develop the signature lime terpenes.

Lime Terpene Strain Growing Information
Lime Terpene is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal terpene expression. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and finishes in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields are typically moderate to high (400-500 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. It prefers a controlled indoor environment or a warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay medium in height (1-1.5 meters indoors, 1.5-2 meters outdoors) with a bushy structure. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate nutrients during the vegetative stage. The signature lime terpenes develop best with proper curing techniques and may be enhanced by slight temperature stress during late flowering.
