Black Lime is a modern hybrid-indica strain created through the crossing of Afghani, Northern Lights, Purple Kush, and Chemdog. This intentionally complex genetic lineage bridges several foundational cannabis families, resulting in a stable cultivar suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period and requires a moderate level of cultivation expertise to manage effectively throughout its lifecycle.
The aromatic profile of Black Lime is defined by a layered terpene sequence led by caryophyllene and myrcene, followed by pinene and limonene. Secondary contributions include beta-pinene, nerolidol, humulene, bisabolol, and linalool, while the profile rounds out with trace notes of ocimene, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, guaiol, terpinolene, and isopulegol. This multifaceted chemical composition provides distinct sensory nuance, reflecting the diverse genetic inputs integrated into the plant.
As a THC-dominant variety, Black Lime is recognized for producing effects that are relaxed and focused. These characteristics make it a functional choice for users seeking relief from pain, stress, or difficulty with sleep. The strain has served as a productive genetic anchor for breeders, acting as a parent for notable offspring including TL DR, Big Schloss, Chedda Whizzy, Cherry Lime Reserve, Dockton Hoedown, Docs Fuel, Durban Cookies, Finest Kind, Glue-Tang, Headstrong, Jerry's Cherry Berries, and Kettle Black.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
