Lime Haze strain guide
Lime Haze is a sativa-leaning strain from the Haze family, sometimes listed as Key Lime Haze. People know it for a bright lime and citrus smell and an energetic, creative feel. Its exact parents aren't settled, and different producers describe different crosses.
Where does Lime Haze come from?
Lime Haze has no well-documented breeder, and sources don't agree on its parents. One strain database lists it as Haze crossed with Blue Lime Pie, from an unknown grower. An Australian producer describes its Lime Haze as Gelato #33 crossed with Super Silver Haze, and a California brand gives Super Silver Haze and an unnamed lime strain.
What they share is a Haze background and a lime-forward smell. The name seems to cover a few different plants, so the Lime Haze you find may not match another one.
What does Lime Haze smell and taste like?
As the name suggests, lime leads: sharp, zesty citrus with a sweet edge. Some reviewers also pick up a soft apricot note, along with the spicy, herbal side Haze strains are known for.
The one published terpene profile we found lists myrcene first, then terpinolene and caryophyllene. Myrcene adds an earthy, herbal side, terpinolene a fresh fruity note and caryophyllene a little pepper. Since Lime Haze varies by producer, check your label if terpenes are listed.
Lime Haze effects: what people report
People most often describe Lime Haze as energetic, creative and uplifted, with a lively, sometimes giggly headspace. That matches the reputation of sativa-leaning Haze strains, and many people save it for earlier in the day.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint, and some people mention a headache or dry eyes.
How strong is Lime Haze?
Listings put Lime Haze around 19% to 23% THC, with little or no CBD. That's mid to high for most people.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The THC and CBD on your label matter more than the strain name, especially for a strain with more than one version.
Buying Lime Haze in Canada
Because Lime Haze can mean different crosses, read the label for the producer and, if it's listed, the lineage. You might find it as dried flower or as a vape cartridge.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that lime smell.
Lime Haze vs Haze
Haze is the classic sativa from 1960s and 70s California, and Lime Haze is one of many strains that build on it. Haze smells spicy, earthy and woody with some citrus, while Lime Haze turns the citrus up to a bright, sweet lime. Both are known for an energetic, creative feel. Lime Haze is often listed a few points higher in THC than the older Haze range. If you want the original, go for Haze. If you like a fruitier, zestier smell, try Lime Haze.
