What is the Dr. Lime Strain
The upbeat Dr. Lime strain is a cross between Dr. Who and Limevine. There are several phenos for this strain, the #9 and #10 being the most popular. For an Indica-leaning high, the #9 variety is much more suitable, although it delivers uplifting energy that won’t send you to bed right away. The #10 pheno will get the creative juices flowing for those who seek creativity and focus, helping you create masterpieces. Later on, we will talk about the particular effects of the Dr. Lime strain.Dr. Lime Strain Appearance
Overall, the Dr. Lime strain appearance is vibrant, with neon green and bright golden hairs decorating this beautiful nug. The #9 pheno tends to have more summer-y, gleaming colors, all of them coated in frosty trichomes. On the contrary, the #10 cut of Dr. Lime has purple hues hidden below its light green colors, with fiery orange hairs giving it a more complex look. Still, it’s just as highly coated in trichomes as its brother. Both phenos are fluffy and large, making them a tantalizing experience for any fruity strains lover.Dr. Lime Strain Genetics
The Dr. Lime strain is a fantastic combination of two potent strains with delightful effects: Dr. Who and Limevine. These Indica and Sativa strains came together to give their child the best of their genes: bright colors, high THC levels, and mouth-watering flavors. The small nuggets of the Dr. Who strain often make it look like a weak bud. However, no one should underestimate the powerful buzz this strain offers. With a 23% THC content, the Dr. Who strain calms the senses and gives smokers the confidence to take in the world. Limevine is well known for its appealing lime flavor. This upbeat Sativa-leaning strain offers a smooth head high that brings you energy and focus, making you feel powerful and energized. Both of these strains give Dr. Lime its characteristic terpene profile and a combination of both bodily and heady sensations for your enjoyment.THC Content
The Dr. Lime strain packs an average of 18-20% THC content. While it’s a high level of delta 9, most users won’t see it as a heavy high. On the contrary, the Dr. Lime strain offers a gentle buzz, giving both experimented and newbie smokers the opportunity to appreciate its effects.Dr. Lime Strain Terpenes
Have you ever wondered why each cannabis strain has such different effects and flavors? Besides cannabinoids, other equally important particles make your smoking experience exciting. Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give plants their specific aromas and flavors. In the case of the Dr. Lime strain, myrcene, pinene, limonene, and linalool are the most abundant ones. Let’s take a look at each one of them.- Myrcene: the most abundant terpene in the cannabis plant is famous for a reason: its mango aromas and woody notes are accompanied by soothing effects.
- Pinene: thanks to pinene’s fresh pine aromas, people experience some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects from their cannabis buds.
- Limonene: the second most occurring terpene in nature is what makes the Dr. Lime strain smell of lemon and make you feel at peace thanks to its anti-anxiety effects.
- Linalool: this soothing terpene brings you comfort thanks to its lavender and floral notes, making it a popular terpene among Indica buds.
