Appearance

90X flowers are typically dense and conical, ranging in size from golf ball to medium spear shapes. The calyxes are tightly stacked, creating a firm bud structure. Pistils often mature to a pumpkin orange or tawny copper hue, contrasting with deep green sugar leaves. Under cooler finishing temperatures, subtle violet or plum colors may appear on the bract tips. A notable characteristic is the abundant trichome coverage, which gives the buds a frosted appearance, indicative of high resin content.

Upon grinding, the aroma intensifies, revealing sharper diesel and brighter citrus peel notes.

The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering a complex blend of citrus, diesel, earthy spice, and pepper.
