Red Lime
Also known as: Red Lime OG
Red Lime Strain Overview
Red Lime is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding community. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Lime OG with an undisclosed red-hued indica-dominant parent, though exact lineage details remain somewhat obscure due to limited documentation. Breeders aimed to combine Lime OG's distinctive citrus profile with the visual appeal and relaxing effects of red-colored varieties, resulting in this unique phenotype.
The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized buds that often display a striking visual contrast. While the base coloration is typically forest green, Red Lime frequently develops vibrant red and purple hues in the calyxes and sugar leaves, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering stage. The buds are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the flowers, completing the colorful presentation.
Red Lime is noted for its complex aromatic profile that evolves during cultivation and curing. The initial scent is dominated by sharp, zesty lime notes, but as the buds mature and cure, these citrus tones mellow and blend with earthier, skunky undertones. The flavor profile follows a similar progression, with initial citrus notes giving way to more complex herbal and spicy flavors on the exhale. The strain's rarity means that consistent phenotypes can be difficult to find, and variations may occur between different growers' versions.

Red Lime Strain Growing Information
Red Lime 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 and are ready for harvest by mid to late 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 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives 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. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to encourage color development and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
