Appearance
This cultivar typically presents as a medium-height plant with robust lateral branching and moderate internodal spacing.

Cured buds are medium-dense with a slightly conical shape and a frosty trichome coating.
Aroma & Flavor

Initial sulfuric notes often deepen into warm spice and damp earth, complemented by hints of citrus and pine. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, featuring notes of chocolate, citrus, coffee, earth, floral, and herbal elements, with a distinct lavender nuance.
