Tiger Lime

Tiger Lime is a modern hybrid cannabis strain known for its distinctive citrus profile and balanced effects. Its exact genetic lineage is not widely documented in public seedbank records, but it is generally believed to be a cross between two strains that contribute its notable lime and fuel-like aromas, potentially involving parents like Tangie or other citrus-forward varieties with a gassy, diesel-type strain. The strain emerged in the 2010s, gaining popularity among connoisseurs for its unique flavor and potent, yet functional, high. It is not considered a mainstream or historically significant strain, and detailed breeding history remains somewhat obscure, often circulated through clone-only or small-batch cultivator networks rather than large-scale commercial seed production.

Visually, Tiger Lime buds are typically dense and resinous, with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant, featuring bright green hues often interspersed with orange pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes that give a frosty appearance. The aroma is its most defining characteristic: a sharp, pungent blend of zesty lime and citrus, underscored by earthy, diesel-like notes and a hint of sweetness. The flavor mirrors the scent, delivering a tangy, citrus-forward smoke with a smooth, slightly spicy finish. The strain's name likely references this vibrant lime flavor combined with a 'tiger' moniker that may allude to its potent effects or striped trichome appearance, though this is not formally verified.

Tiger Lime is prized for its well-rounded effects that begin with a cerebral, euphoric lift typical of sativa-leaning hybrids, followed by a gentle, relaxing body sensation that doesn't lead to heavy sedation. This makes it suitable for daytime or evening use, depending on dosage. Its high THC content, often ranging from 18% to 24%, contributes to its potency, while CBD levels are negligible. The strain is moderately challenging to cultivate, requiring attention to nutrient balance and climate control to fully express its complex terpene profile. It remains a niche strain, more common in certain regional markets or among home growers seeking unique flavor experiences.
