Key Lime Pie

Origin Story (or 'How GSC Caught a Tropical Disease')

Born in the Bay Area circa 2012, Key Lime Pie is basically Girl Scout Cookies after it spent spring break in Florida drinking mojitos. Breeders took a citrus-heavy phenotype of GSC, locked it in a grow room, and said, “Let’s see if we can make it taste like a pie that’s also weed.” Clone-only at first, the strain now floats around in seed form, drifting like a lime-scented tumbleweed of THC. Expect slight phenotype wobble—some cuts lean more lime, some more cookie, all of them 100% capable of ruining your diet.

Effects: Couch-Lock à la Mode

Expect an initial head-rush of “I should clean the kitchen” followed rapidly by “I should just sit in it.” KLP starts sativa-bright—mood lift, giggles, mild epiphanies about pie crust chemistry—then bulldozes into indica heaviness like a weighted blanket made of graham crackers. Great for zoning out to cooking shows you’ll never replicate. Novices: clear your calendar; veterans: clear your snack shelf.

Smell & Flavor: Like a Bakery Raided by Citrus Bandits

Crack a jar and it’s lime Skittles wrestling cookie dough in a graham cracker cage. On the inhale you get sharp, zesty lime; on the exhale creamy vanilla and buttery crust. The smoke is thick enough to frost a cake, so maybe keep a glass of milk (or oat-milk, we don’t judge) nearby. Room note is “grandma’s kitchen at 4:20 on a Sunday.”

Growing Notes (for People Who Actually Finish Things)

She’s a medium-height diva that loves topping, trellising, and cool nights to flash those Insta-worthy purple streaks. Flowers in 8-9 weeks, stacking dense, trich-drenched nugs that trim up easier than your ex’s emotional baggage. Yields are respectable; terp retention is top-tier. Pro tip: drop night temps to 60 °F the last two weeks to unlock the full pie aesthetic—just don’t freeze your colas off.

Medical Uses (aka Excuses to Eat More Pie)

Patients reach for KLP to shoo away stress, chronic pain, and the crushing realization that you’re out of actual pie. Appetite stimulation is strong—like, “I just ate dinner but now need a second dinner” strong. Insomniacs report drifting off to dreamland smelling faintly of lime zest. Anxiety melts faster than whipped cream on hot asphalt.

Who Should Smoke This

Perfect for dessert strain hunters, flavor chasers, and anyone who’s ever eaten a whole pie in one sitting “for science.” Not ideal if you’ve got a to-do list longer than a CVS receipt or if you’re allergic to couch-lock. If your idea of a balanced breakfast is key lime yogurt and a bong rip, welcome home.
