Limelight Strain Overview
Limelight is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among daytime consumers and creative professionals for its energizing, citrus-forward profile. The strain was initially bred by Kali Grown Seeds in 2018 from a genetic cross of (Key Lime Pie x Lemon Tree) x Kali Grown OG, though multiple breeders have since developed their own versions with varying lineages including crosses with Lime OG x Northern Lights and Orange Zeta x Blue Flame OG. The strain displays moderately dense buds with vivid forest green hues, bright orange pistils, and a generous coating of frosty white trichomes that give it visual appeal reminiscent of its energetic effects.
Limelight has established itself as a go-to choice for morning and early afternoon use, with users consistently reporting focused, energetic, and uplifted effects that align with sativa-leaning profiles emphasizing mental clarity and mood elevation. The strain's name references both its distinctive lime-zest aroma and the idiom 'being in the limelight,' fitting for a cultivar appreciated for its ability to enhance focus and creative drive. With its bright citrus nose, brisk cerebral onset, and functional high when dosed appropriately, Limelight has found a particular niche in pre-rolls and vape cartridges where uplifting profiles perform especially well.

Limelight Strain Growing Information
Limelight is considered an easy to medium difficulty strain to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. Plants typically require a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with most cuts finishing around 63 days under a 12/12 light schedule. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with plants reaching medium height and producing dense, resinous buds. Indoor growers can expect yields of 450-550 g/m² in optimized environments, with advanced growers potentially achieving up to 600 g/m² using CO2 supplementation and high PPFD lighting. Outdoor plants in warm, dry climates can produce 500-800 grams per plant, depending on soil volume and season length. The strain responds well to training techniques and proper airflow management. Growers should monitor humidity levels during late flower to prevent botrytis due to the moderately dense bud structure.
