Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie is a very tasty, 60% indica-dominant phenotype of the renowned Girl Scout Cookies strain, created by Burning Bush Nurseries based out of California. Its THC content ranges from 19% - 22%, with 0.05% CBD. It leads to a mellow high resembling traditional indica effects and possesses a dense, tight bud structure also characteristic of an indica-dominant variety. When properly cured, Key Lime Pie is an incredibly sticky flower that can be difficult to break for use in pipes or joints without the help of a grinder.

Key Lime Pie acts quickly and its sedative effects can be felt immediately after consumption. The calm is felt in mind and body, as it quickly melts away stress, tension or anxiety. Although the smoker may experience some mental stimulation, the overall sensation is more dreamy than it is cerebral, making Key Lime Pie a strain for relaxation, being lazy and enjoying a state of inactivity. Such properties make Key Lime Pie an effective pain reliever, a cure for insomnia, or a solution for managing an over-active mind.

Key Lime Pie has a complex flavor profile, described as sweet and herbal, with a distinctive citrus flavor. It also gives off notes of spice and musk and the taste is commonly highlighted as one of this strain’s winning attributes. For its appearance, the vibrant greens of this flower may have some deep purple highlights, due to a high genetic concentration of a pigment called anthocyanin. To maximize the color, growers may artificially expose the plant to colder than usual environments, which causes the pigments to react and amplify the purple tones.

The seeds for growing Key Lime Pie may not be readily available for purchase due to the rare nature of this strain. Instead, cultivators may need to grow it as a clone, with clippings derived from healthy, mature plans. Cultivation may take place indoors or outdoors, however, outdoor growers must keep in mind that the plant needs daytime temperatures between 72 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Regardless where it is grown, Key Lime Pie typically produces an average yield, requiring 9 to 10 weeks to flower indoors and harvesting outside in early October.
