Key Lime Pie X Sour Dubble by Greyskull Seeds
Key Lime Pie × Sour Dubble
Key Lime Pie X Sour Dubble is an indica-leaning hybrid developed by Greyskull Seeds. This cultivar combines the dessert-like qualities of Key Lime Pie with the distinct fuel notes of Sour Dubble. It is recognized for its potent aroma and flavor profile, making it a popular choice for both cultivators and consumers.
Appearance
This strain typically grows into medium-height plants with strong side branching, creating a bushy structure. The buds are dense, resembling golf balls or soda cans, and feature a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which simplifies the trimming process. Under cooler temperatures, the sugar leaves and calyx tips may develop purple hues, contrasting with the lime-green coloration.
Plants often appear heavily frosted with trichomes, even early in the flowering stage. This visual density is a hallmark of the strain, indicating its suitability for resin extraction. The structure balances the density of Cookies genetics with slightly improved spacing, potentially reducing mold risk in humid conditions.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a sharp, zesty key lime scent that is prominent upon opening the container, accompanied by a confectionary sweetness. This citrus note is layered with a creamy, pastry-like undertone, reminiscent of graham crackers and vanilla. A subtle diesel or fuel-like aroma can also be detected, stemming from the Sour Dubble parentage.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a distinct key lime taste with creamy, dessert-like nuances and a hint of herbal or minty undertones. The presence of diesel and citrus notes adds complexity to the overall sensory experience. This combination of sweet, tart, and fuel-like elements contributes to its appeal among those seeking terpene-driven profiles.
Effects
Key Lime Pie X Sour Dubble is described as mostly indica-leaning, suggesting effects that are generally body-heavy and comforting. The strain is noted for providing a clean, uplifting sensation from the Sour Dubble lineage, balanced by the indica-dominant qualities. Consumers may experience a sense of relaxation and well-being.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This cultivar is predisposed to limonene and beta-caryophyllene as primary terpenes, with myrcene and humulene present as secondary compounds. Limonene contributes to the bright lime aroma and flavor, while caryophyllene adds a peppery, woody note often perceived as graham cracker. Myrcene may influence the body-focused effects, and humulene can contribute to herbal notes.
THC levels are typically around 20%, with CBD content below 1%. The combination of these cannabinoids and terpenes results in a balanced chemotype that is valued for both its aromatic qualities and its physical effects.
Growing
This strain is considered suitable for small-batch indoor growers and responds well to techniques like topping and SCROG. Its manageable stretch, typically between 1.3x and 1.7x after flipping to flower, makes it adaptable to various indoor spaces, including tents. The flowering period is generally around 60 to 65 days.
The plant exhibits a good calyx-to-leaf ratio, which leads to lower trim waste and potentially higher post-trim yields. Resin production is a notable characteristic, with hashmakers reporting favorable return rates from fresh frozen material. The balanced structure, combining Cookies density with Sour lineage looseness, can aid in airflow and reduce the risk of mold compared to very dense hybrids.
Origins & Lineage
Key Lime Pie X Sour Dubble was created by Greyskull Seeds, a West Coast breeder known for resin-forward genetics. It is a hybrid cross combining Key Lime Pie, believed to be a phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies, with Sour Dubble, often attributed to a cross of Sour Diesel and Sour Bubble.
Key Lime Pie contributes dense bud structure and dessert-like flavors with notes of lime and mint. Sour Dubble adds sour citrus, gasoline aromas, and a vibrant, uplifting quality. The resulting offspring is mostly indica-leaning, benefiting from hybrid vigor and refined resin quality.
