The Best Weed Strains for Lime Taste

Citrus is one of the most common flavors found in cannabis. Like the diverse range of citrus fruits, cannabis has a variety of tangy, sweet notes ranging from the sharp and astringent flavor of lemons to the lightly tart flavor of oranges. Lime is another flavor commonly found in cannabis. Unlike other citrus fruits, limes have a unique sour, bitter taste. If this flavor profile appeals to you, you’ll love the strains on this list.

Lime Glow is an autoflowering strain developed by Phylos by crossing OG Kush and Skunk #1 with EZBake AF. The resulting strain is a hybrid with a robust earthy lime taste and a hint of skunk. Lime Glow also brings the best aspects of OG Kush and Skunk’s relaxing, uplifting highs that melt away fatigue and stress.

Don’t let Lime Glow’s autoflowering nature discourage you. This cultivar provides a high yield. You can expect 15 to 18 ounces per square meter, much more than your standard super auto that typically yields 7 to 10 ounces per plant.

Another cultivar developed by Phylos is Sweet Tartz, a hybrid of Black Lime GMO and EZBake AF. Like Lime Glow’s relationship with its parent strains, Sweet Tartz retains the flavors of OG Kush and Skunk #1.

This strain highlights the tart flavor of limes from Black Lime GMO while adding a touch of EZBake AF’s sweetness. Sweet Tartz is the strain to smoke for the taste of key lime pie with each toke.

Sweet Tartz has a relaxing high combined with a mental uplift. It’s typically chosen by those who need to combat pain and depression and get a break from stress. Because of its unique flavor profile, it can even stimulate your appetite.

Tropicana Cookies is the creation of Oni Seed Company alongside Harry Palms of Blood Seed Company. Harry Palms bred Tropicana Cookies first, and then Oni Seed Company developed the second generation. Both varieties garner high praise—one even won the 2019 Michigan Cannabis Cup.

Most people consider them the same strain. Tropicana Cookies was created by crossbreeding two legendary strains—Tangie and Girl Scout Cookies. Its genetics led to many similar strains, including Tropicanna Cookies, Tropicana Cookies F2, and MTN Trop.

Despite not being exclusively limey, the delicious tropical notes from this beautiful plant will give you similar effects and flavors. The caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene terpenes emulate the signature tart taste of lime-forward cannabis strains. Though both parent strains have beneficial terpenes, Tropicana Cookies takes after Girl Scout Cookies in genetics. However, its flavor, growth patterns, and effects are all similar to Tangie.

Key Lime Pie

Although it doesn’t adhere to the naming scheme, Key Lime Pie is a phenotype derived from Girl Scout Cookies. It doesn’t taste anything like its namesake. Instead, it offers the unique flavor profile of candied limes mixed with chocolate and spice.

In addition to a unique flavor profile, this indica hybrid carries powerful effects that will leave you sedated and uplifted, perfect after a long and stressful week. Like ILGM’s Girl Scout Cookies Extreme, Key Lime Pie offers a powerful full-body high that will make you feel euphoric and deeply relaxed, making it perfect for users looking to unwind. 

The Lime

The Lime is a sativa-dominant strain that’s bold in name and flavor. It was created by crossing The Original Lemonade with Cactus Cooler, both citrus-flavored cannabis strains. The Lime has the same potent citrus flavors found in its parents.

This strain stands out because of its super tangy flavor, which mixes limes with other citrus fruits. It also has notes of pine and earth that you can pick up with each draw.

The Lime provides the energizing buzz you’ve come to expect from sativa strains. However, unlike other sativas, The Lime doesn’t end with a crash. Instead, you’ll come down from the high feeling relaxed and euphoric.

Toad Venom

Toad Venom is a lime-flavored strain worthy of its current hype. It’s a reasonably recent cultivar, released in 2023 by Ronin Seeds. Toad Venom also has some zesty genetics. It is a hybrid of Animal Face, a potent cross of Face-Off OG (an OG Kush phenotype), and Sin Mintz, a Zkittlez cross with Sinmint cookies.

This new strain’s strong lime flavor will leave you drooling, while its heavy-handed sedative effects glue you to your couch for hours. Unsurprisingly, Toad Venom is one of the best new strains in the US.
