There are two very different things inside Strawberry Meringue (Raskal Berries x Key Lime Pie). Raskal Berries: White Strawberry crossed onto Blue Power, and now a house parent itself. And Key Lime Pie, a Girl Scout Cookies phenotype selected for its citrus. That is the Sin City method: take something new and worth having, and put it over a plant they have already proven across dozens of crosses.

Raskal Berries sits on the seed side here, Key Lime Pie on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Raskal Berries. A berry sativa that Blue Power made faster and prettier. Parentage: given as White Strawberry x Blue Power. The point of the cross was practical: Blue Power pulled the flowering time down and improved how the finished flower looks, without giving up what White Strawberry brought.
• Father: Key Lime Pie. Key Lime Pie - the sharp end of the Cookies family. Its own history is not clean. Two Californian outfits are named as its origin - Purple Caper Seeds and Burning Bush Nurseries - and one account has it made deliberately by crossing GSC to Lime Skunk and backcrossing to a GSC F2 male rather than found as a phenotype. What every account agrees on is that it sits inside the Cookies family.
• 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

Two profiles that stay distinguishable rather than collapsing into one.

• The Aroma. Berry over kush from the Raskal Berries side, against lime zest and citrus peel over sweet dough, with earth and cream underneath from the Key Lime Pie side.
• The Taste. Berry first, kush after up front, turning to citrus with cream behind it through the exhale.

What each side brings

• Timing splits the pack. One parent wants fast - forty-five to fifty-five days, the other sixty-three to seventy days, so eight to ten weeks. Expect the fast plants down well before the slow ones are ready.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives sweet berry with kush behind it; the other gives lime zest and citrus peel over sweet dough, with earth and cream underneath. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Build. On the Raskal Berries side: sativa-leaning at around seventy thirty, yielding four to six hundred grams a square metre. On the Key Lime Pie side: about seventy-five percent indica; dense compact flower, light green with purple coming through, under a heavy coat of trichomes. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• Opposite ends. Raskal Berries is reported as uplifting from the White Strawberry side, with body weight and resin from Blue Power; Key Lime Pie as the settled, indica-weighted end of the Cookies family. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Raskal Berries is seventy thirty towards sativa, and a strong producer. Key Lime Pie is three-quarters indica, dense and compact, light green with purple through it under heavy frost.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Raskal Berries runs fast - forty-five to fifty-five days, Key Lime Pie sixty-three to seventy days, so eight to ten weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Raskal Berries as uplifting from the White Strawberry side, with body weight and resin from Blue Power.
• The Body. Key Lime Pie is reported as the settled, indica-weighted end of the Cookies family, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Seeds from Sin City Seeds. They breed for the combination rather than the name - flavour, medicinal effect and resin, tested against parents they already know inside out. Sold as authentic Sin City Seeds.
