Key Lime Pie X Do Si Dos by Philosopher Seeds
Key Lime Pie × Do-Si-Dos
Key Lime Pie X Do Si Dos is a predominantly indica hybrid from Philosopher Seeds, created by crossing a Key Lime Pie phenotype with Do-Si-Dos. This strain is recognized for its intense aroma, potent effects, and visually appealing resinous buds.
Appearance
This cultivar typically develops into a medium-height plant, often finishing between 90-140 cm indoors. It presents a sturdy central cola with well-developed lateral branches and medium internodal spacing, making it suitable for SCROG cultivation. The buds are notably dense and resinous, often displaying a speckled coloration of lime and forest green, with occasional purple hues appearing in the later stages of flowering. The calyxes stack tightly, contributing to a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, and the pistils mature from pale peach to copper or rust tones. A prominent feature is the heavy trichome coverage, giving the buds a frosted, sugar-dusted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Key Lime Pie X Do-Si-Dos is a complex bouquet that opens with bright, zested lime and hints of vanilla custard, reminiscent of its namesake dessert. Underlying these notes are sweet bakery undertones, evoking graham cracker crust and powdered sugar, stemming from its Cookies lineage. As the flowers mature, a subtle earthiness and fuel aroma emerge, reflecting its OG ancestry. When ground, the scent intensifies, revealing notes of candied lime peel and sugar cookie frosting, with a creamy density also being reported. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a burst of lime zest and sweet cream on the inhale, followed by warmer bakery notes like graham cracker and vanilla on the exhale, sometimes with a faint diesel undertone. Some users also detect a cooling mint sensation.
Effects
Key Lime Pie X Do-Si-Dos is known for delivering a potent, body-centered experience characteristic of its indica-leaning genetics. Users report feelings of calm, happiness, and deep relaxation. The effects are often described as long-lasting and can be quite heavy, making it a suitable choice for unwinding. Due to its relaxing properties, it may help alleviate symptoms associated with fatigue and stress.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain is primarily THC dominant, with total THC content commonly ranging between 20-28% by dry weight, and potentially higher in optimal conditions. CBD levels are typically below 1.0%. The terpene profile is rich, often falling within the 1.2-3.0% range. Dominant terpenes frequently include Limonene and beta-caryophyllene, supported by Linalool, Myrcene, and Humulene. Some phenotypes may also exhibit trace amounts of Eucalyptol, contributing to a minty or eucalyptus-like note.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Philosopher Seeds, Key Lime Pie X Do-Si-Dos is a hybrid strain with a predominantly indica genetic makeup. It is a cross between a Key Lime Pie phenotype, known for its citrus and bakery notes, and Do-Si-Dos, a strain derived from OGKB and Face Off OG. This lineage combines the desirable traits of the Cookies family with influential OG derivatives, aiming for intense terpene profiles and potent effects.
Growing
This cultivar is generally considered to have a manageable growth profile. Plants typically exhibit a compact structure with sturdy branching, suitable for indoor cultivation. The flowering period is not explicitly detailed but is consistent with indica-dominant hybrids. The buds are known for their density and high resin production, indicating good potential for yield and quality, especially for concentrate production. The breeder aimed for a tight, resin-soaked structure.
