About
Key Lime Pie is an indica-dominant hybrid, running roughly 70% indica to 30% sativa, bred from Girl Scout Cookies. That lineage is straightforward and well-documented, and the strain carries forward a number of its parent's most recognizable traits while carving out a distinct aromatic identity of its own.
The nose and palate are where Key Lime Pie makes its clearest impression. The terpene profile is built around limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene, and those three compounds work together in a way that translates directly to what users taste and smell. Limonene pushes forward bright citrus and lime notes, myrcene adds a soft herbal undertone, and caryophyllene brings a mild spice that sits underneath the sweetness. The result is a flavor that matches the name reasonably well — citrus and lime up front, sweet through the middle, with a faint spice on the finish. It is not a complicated profile, but it is a coherent one.
Commonly reported effects lean toward relaxation, consistent with the indica-dominant genetics. Users tend to describe a settling, unhurried quality to the experience. THC content runs between 18% and 23%, so potency sits in a range that experienced consumers will find familiar without being extreme.
On the cultivation side, Key Lime Pie is rated as a moderate-difficulty strain, meaning it rewards growers who have moved past the beginner stage and can manage basic environmental controls and training techniques. Flowering runs 8 to 9 weeks, which is a standard timeline for an indica-leaning variety. Yield potential is rated moderate, so growers should not expect unusually heavy harvests, but a well-run grow under reasonable conditions should return a respectable amount of finished product. This is not a strain that punishes attentive growers, but it is also not one that will carry a sloppy grow to a good outcome.
From a breeding standpoint, Girl Scout Cookies has proven to be an exceptionally productive parent strain, and Key Lime Pie stands as one of its notable offspring. It passes along the Cookies genetic foundation while the terpene expression shifts the aromatic character in a citrus-forward direction, giving breeders and consumers something recognizably related to the parent but distinct enough to stand on its own.
