Jilly Bean Lime (Chernobyl Golden Ticket x Jilly Bean) feminized sits between Chernobyl and Jilly Bean: Subcool's sativa-dominant lime-forward hybrid on one side, MzJill's flagship and a High Times Seed Bank Hall of Fame plant on the other. Old, kept, worked plants rather than recent acquisitions - that is the whole character of this catalogue.

Feminized, so the whole pack should run female. Growers with a fixed number of sites tend to want this one; breeders generally want the regular.

Written this way, Chernobyl is the mother and Jilly Bean the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Chernobyl. Subcool's sativa-dominant lime-forward hybrid. Given as Trainwreck x Trinity x Jack the Ripper. Built on a Trainwreck cut Subcool went west to find, then crossed into Jack the Ripper..
• Father: Jilly Bean. MzJill's flagship and a High Times Seed Bank Hall of Fame plant. That one comes from Orange Velvet x Space Queen. Named one of High Times' Top 10 Strains of 2007 and inducted into their Seed Bank Hall of Fame. It is the plant most of MzJill's catalogue is crossed back into..
• Why it is worth a pack rather than a look. The two sides are far enough apart that seedlings genuinely differ. That range is the product.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Neither parent is subtle, and the cross has nowhere quiet to go.

• The Aroma. Lime and lemon over a sharp green edge from the Chernobyl side, against orange and mango, sweet and bright from the Jilly Bean side.
• The Taste. Lime sherbet, unusually clean up front, turning to citrus and tropical fruit with a creamy finish through the exhale.

What each side brings

• Two different harvest dates. Nine to ten weeks for Chernobyl, eight to nine weeks for Jilly Bean. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.
• Two noses, one pack. Chernobyl contributes lime and lemon over a sharp green edge. Jilly Bean contributes orange and mango, sweet and bright. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Two frames in one pack. Chernobyl is tall, stretchy sativa-leaning plants with airy flower. Jilly Bean is medium-height plants with orange pistils threaded through dense flower. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• They pull differently. Growers put Chernobyl at bright, energetic and clear and Jilly Bean at lifting and social, clear-headed. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Chernobyl is tall, stretchy sativa-leaning plants with airy flower. Jilly Bean is medium-height plants with orange pistils threaded through dense flower.
• Vegetative Phase and Training. Open the middle out early. Light reaching the lower sites is worth more than any late correction.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Chernobyl runs nine to ten weeks, Jilly Bean eight to nine weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Chernobyl as bright, energetic and clear.
• The Body. Jilly Bean is reported as lifting and social, clear-headed, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
