Appearance

This cultivar typically develops into a medium-height plant, around 80-120 cm indoors, with tight internodal spacing. It features broad, dark green fan leaves and stout petioles, characteristic of an indica-leaning structure. The buds form as conical, chunky colas with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, appearing frosty due to abundant resin glands by mid-flower. Some phenotypes may show faint purple hues on sugar leaves if exposed to cooler late-flower temperatures.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma is dominated by bright citrus notes, reminiscent of lime zest and sweet lemon, complemented by pine needles and clean herbs. A subtle floral lift is also present. When cracked open, a hint of green apple or pear candy may emerge before returning to the primary citrus and pine character. The flavor follows suit, presenting citrus oil and pine resin upfront, followed by a delicate, sweet herbal finish that lingers.
