Key Lime Cheesecake is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed from the genetics of New England Rock Candy V2. This cultivar is categorized as a moderate-difficulty grow, suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period. Its notable genetic legacy includes the offspring strain Fire Bliss.

The chemical profile of Key Lime Cheesecake is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy, led by dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, pinene, and linalool. This primary foundational structure transitions into mid-range concentrations of humulene, beta-pinene, and ocimene, while finishing with trace amounts of bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, nerolidol, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse combination creates a distinct sensory experience that reflects the specific botanical composition of the strain.

As a THC-dominant variety, Key Lime Cheesecake primarily produces effects characterized by a sense of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic properties make the strain a common choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as assistance with sleep. Through its genetic contributions to lines like Fire Bliss, this cultivar occupies a functional position in contemporary breeding programs.
