Origins & Lineage
Originating from Northern California craft-breeding culture in the 2010s, Black Lime is an indica-leaning polyhybrid. Breeder lore suggests influences from Afghani, Chem-family, and purple or Kush heritage, often integrating a lime-scented Afghan line with selections related to Chem and West Coast indica staples.
