Frosted Lime

Frosted Lime or Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 0.3% – 0.9% (Hemp-compliant in most regions) and CBD levels ranging from 12% – 18%. Known for its Sharp Citrus, Key Lime, Skunky/Gassy undertones profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium (Indoor: 3–4 ft; Outdoor: 6–8 ft) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate; sensitive to Nitrogen spikes in late flower.

This Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) is of the Genetype: Feminized Hemp / CBD. The Frosted Lime strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Frosted Lime in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) is 6.3 – 6.7 and 5.8 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Frosted Lime needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 85°F (21°C – 29°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 45% – 60% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Frosted Lime needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Frosted Lime is 18/6 (Light/Dark) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Frosted Lime will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 68°F – 80°F (20°C – 26°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 45% – 55% RH is achieved, the Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Feminized Hemp / CBD is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 (Light/Dark) for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Frosted Lime is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High; responds well to topping and ScROG (Screen of Green).

The most exciting phase, when growing Feminized Hemp / CBD is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Frosted Lime will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12 (Light/Dark). Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) and 35% – 45% RH so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Frosted Lime is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (approx. 60/40) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Stout, bushy structure with dense, "stacked" colas

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Notes
Resilience: This strain is a "tank." It was bred to survive Southeast US hurricanes, so it handles wind and rain better than most. If you are growing outdoors, it is very forgiving of environmental swings.

Aroma Management: The "Lime" scent is pungent. In a hobbyist indoor tent, a high-quality carbon filter is non-negotiable by week 4 of flower.

The "Frost" Factor: True to its name, trichome production is heavy. Late-season temperature drops (low 60s°F at night) can bring out deep purple and indigo hues in the foliage.

Harvest Timing: To maintain the "upbeat" Sativa feel, harvest when trichomes are mostly milky. Waiting for too much amber can lean the effects toward the Myrcene-heavy, sedating side.
Lineage: Carmagnola (Italian Landrace) x Northern Lights
