Appearance
Apricot Jelly buds are visually appealing, characterized by dense trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. They often display vibrant green hues interspersed with orange and apricot-like pistils, mirroring the strain's fruity profile.
The bud structure is typically elongated yet compact, a common trait in sativa genetics, contributing to a lighter texture.
