Key Lime Pie is a gourmet phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies. This 60/40 Indica has a beautiful chocolatey mint flavor and comes with a deep couch lock high.
Key Lime Pie Strain
The Key Lime Pie Strain has a more calming and relaxing high than most other marijuana strains. Like all “Pie” strains, the Key Lime Pie Strain tends to stay at a medium height, making it well-suited for indoor gardens, but Key Lime Pie Strain is hearty enough to be grown outside too.
The Key Lime Pie Strain grows well in Mediterranean climates due to its South African lineage. Mediterranean climates are those that are both sunny and dry. Therefore, if you do plan to grow the Key Lime Pie Strain indoors, make sure to cycle the air inside your grow room every 5 minutes and always position your lights about 24 inches from the top of your plants.
Keeping your lights low will also help prevent stretching, which the Key Lime Pie Strain is known for doing.
We recommend pruning your branches early to help maintain a nice even canopy and prevent your plants from over-shadowing the adjacent plants. Some added support devices like bamboo rods or tomato cages are also recommended to help support the weight of the flowers.
The Key Lime Pie Strain tolerates low-stress training techniques like SCROG & SOG well; and we always recommend topping the Key Lime Pie Strain when it reaches about 24 inches.
The Key Lime Pie Strain also does better in larger containers. However, we still recommend starting the Key Lime Pie Strain in small containers and transplanting them into larger containers after about a month.
This extra step will help strengthen the roots and ultimately increase the overall yield at harvest.
The Key Lime Pie Strain earned its name because of its fragrance and flavor. We recommend an all-natural feeding regimen to allow those amazing flavors and aromas to take center stage.
Indoor growers should always maintain a temperature of around 72 – 76 degrees Fahrenheit inside their grow space and keep the air circulating. The Key Lime Pie Strain doesn’t tolerate excessive humidity very well so we recommend that indoor growers ensure that the air inside your grow space is well-cycled and well-circulated.
You can increase your yield, and the overall health of your plant, by allowing the substrate to almost dry out in between waterings. This practice will help encourage root growth and lead to a more vigorous outcome.
Always make sure to calibrate your pH meter properly, and always adjust the pH of your water so that the run-off water measures around 6.0.
Make sure to also allow adequate time for flushing to remove any residual mineral salts that may have accumulated during the flowering period.
We recommend that soil growers flush the Key Lime Pie Strain for 10 to 14 days prior to harvest and that hydroponic growers flush the Key Lime Pie Strain for 7 to 10 days prior to harvest.
In general, longer flushes tend to produce better flavors and aromas without decreasing yield.
Lastly, be patient. The Key Lime Pie Strain is a real treat when the buds have the time to fully develop so make sure to monitor the trichomes closely under a 100x microscope and give them time to mature and start to turn amber before harvesting.
If you decide that you would like to try growing the Key Lime Pie Strain for yourself, just click the buttons below to buy seeds or clones.
You can start your seeds in damp paper towels, coffee filters, napkins, or seed starter plugs. Simply dampen the medium with distilled water, place the seeds on the medium, and store in a warm, dark place for 3-5 days.
Once your seeds have sprouted, be sure to transfer them into soil or some other type of substrate as soon as possible.
When it comes to starting young plants, we recommend Tupur Mix by Royal Gold.
Tupur Mix is a coco fiber-based soilless medium that contains a heavy amount of perlite; and nothing else.
In other words: It's the PERFECT growing medium for seeds, clones, and young plants.
Keep in mind that while mature plants LOVE stuff like seabird guano and earthworm castings, whereas younger plants prefer clean, well-draining soil; and a light nutrient regimen that gets progressively stronger as the plant grows.
That's why we love Tupur Mix - it allows for MAXIMUM control over your feeding regimen!
This substrate is designed to let you feed your plants as often as possible without overwatering or burning your plants.
These unique factors make Tupur Mix ideal for young plants in containers, automated watering systems, drip-to-drain, ebb-and-flow, deep water culture, and aquaponic gardens.
Tupur Mix strikes the perfect balance between drainage and moisture retention while still allowing for adequate aeration to prevent water logging.
When repotting a plant, the substrate should always come out of the smaller container in one piece.
Another key to transplanting clones is to make sure that the substrate in the new container is saturated with water to allow you to pack the soil down around the plant once it's been transplanted.

There simply is no substitute.
For additional control over your light cycle; including automatic sunrise and sunset, auto-dim/auto-shutdown, and temperature calibration; we recommend also purchasing the Gavita Master Controller EL2.
For help diagnosing and correcting nutrient deficiencies, refer to the chart below. For more information about diagnosing nutrient deficiencies in cannabis, be sure to read: "What's Wrong With My Plant? - Diagnosing Nutrient Deficiencies in Cannabis."
We recommend topping your plants when they're about 24 inches tall and before they begin flowering.
Growers who choose to employ low-stress training techniques (SCROG or SOG) may end up topping multiple times.
Topping a plant temporarily deprives it of growth horomones called auxins that are present in the tips of the shoots and regulate vertical growth. In the absence of these hormones, the plant begins to grow horizontally for a few days until the auxins recover.
This "horizontal growth" leads to the development of multiple meristems that can each eventually support a large flower.
That's why topping is a widely accepted practice that has been shown to dramatically improve yields.
Marijuana consumption may trigger adverse effects in some people. Less experienced consumers are more likely to experience side effects, including but not limited to:
Dry Mouth
Dry or Red Eyes
Anxiety
Paranoia
Dizziness
Hunger
Increased Heart Rate
In general, these effects dissipate after a few minutes as your body metabolizes the THC.
