Appearance
Afternoon Delight #7 typically presents with compact to medium-dense flowers, often conical in shape. The buds display a frosty trichome coating over a green canopy, sometimes accented with faint purple hues on the sugar leaves, especially under cooler conditions. Vibrant orange pistils are often visible, contributing to its visual appeal.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma leads with a bright citrus burst, reminiscent of fresh orange and tangerine, complemented by creamy, tropical undertones.

This combination contributes to its distinct aroma, flavor, and balanced effects.
Origins & Lineage
The #7 designation indicates a specific, selected phenotype chosen for its standout traits.
