Appearance
Kaffir Lime typically yields medium to large, spear-shaped buds with prominent apical dominance. The buds feature a vibrant lime-green coloration, accented by fiery orange pistils. Some phenotypes may display subtle lavender hues on the sugar leaves, particularly under cooler night temperatures. The trichome coverage is dense and glassy, giving the buds a frosted appearance and a sticky texture.
Buds are moderately dense, consistent with its sativa-leaning structure, and possess a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio that aids in trimming. The overall visual appeal is bright and citrus-forward, often described as having an almost candied lime note even before breaking apart.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Kaffir Lime is dominated by fresh lime zest, kaffir lime leaf, and notes of lemongrass, layered over a base of sweet herbs. This complex bouquet is often perceived as intensely aromatic and identifiable, even among other citrus-forward strains. The scent profile suggests a significant presence of limonene, terpinolene, and ocimene.
Upon breaking apart the buds, a more pronounced burst of lime peel, lemongrass, and a hint of pine-sour gas is released. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a bright, sharp citrus taste with underlying herbal and peppery nuances. Some phenotypes may also exhibit a faint fuel-mineral edge.
Effects
Kaffir Lime is known for providing energetic and uplifting effects, characterized by a clear-headed lift. Consumers often report a functional and sustained experience, making it suitable for daytime use. The strain is designed to deliver heady, functional effects that align with its sativa-dominant heritage.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This cultivar typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%. Chemically, citrus strains from SubCool's lineage frequently display total terpene content between 1.5% and 3.0%, with some exceptional batches reaching over 4.0%. Limonene is commonly the most abundant terpene, contributing significantly to the citrus aroma and flavor. Supporting terpenes often include terpinolene, beta-caryophyllene, pinene, and ocimene, which add complexity with notes of pine, pepper, and sweet herbs.
Growing
Kaffir Lime is considered a sativa-leaning hybrid in its growth structure, often exhibiting elongated internodes and a tendency towards a taller terminal cola if left untrained. Growers can expect a significant stretch during the initial weeks of flowering, typically 1.7 to 2.2 times its vegetative height. The plant generally requires 8 to 10 weeks to flower indoors, producing robust resin. It is known for vigorous growth and substantial aromatic output.

While the breeder did not formally disclose its exact genetic lineage, it is understood to be part of a line that emphasizes citrus-forward profiles and uplifting effects.
