GSC, itself, is a highly-acclaimed strain notable for its euphoric mental effects and deep body relaxation. It has also produced several phenotypes, of which some have went on to become as famous and widely accepted. Besides Key Lime Pie, the others include Thin Mint and Platinum Cookies.

Key Lime Pie is a very potent strain. As such, users should never underestimate it. Most especially, beginners in using marijuana should start off with only a tiny amount before gradually adding a tad bit more in future sessions.

Growing

Key Lime Pie is not an easy-to-grow hybrid. While it does not mean that beginners will never be able to cultivate it successfully, it is under the care of experienced growers that ensures the plant reaches its full potential. Nonetheless, another hindrance to growing it is that its seeds are not available. About the only way to cultivate it for personal use is if one could obtain a clipping for cloning.

At any rate, this plant thrives in both indoors and outdoors. Regardless of its environment, one of the things growers need to do is to top it early. This way, it can grow bushier with numerous lateral branches. Its buds are small to medium in size and dense. These bright green nugget-shaped buds are also covered heavily with frosty crystals.

Key Lime Pie is one of the most beautiful marijuana plants one can set eyes on. To further enhance its appearance with a purple hue, growers should place it in a colder temperature (by some 10 degrees) before flowering. It triggers a process that results in purple colors appearing on its flowers.

It has a flowering period of 9 to 10 weeks. Although it is a little longer than typical Indica, the reward, in the end, is a decent yield of 10 to 12 ounces of buds.
