Appearance

This strain typically presents a compact and bushy structure, rarely exceeding 100 cm in height, making it suitable for various growing spaces. Its leaves start broad and dark green, reflecting indica influence, and may show slight narrowing during flowering. The flowers are described as medium-dense with good resin production, developing a frosty appearance by mid-bloom. In cooler conditions, plants may exhibit purple and lilac hues in the sugar leaves and bracts.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma is characterized by dominant notes of mountain herbs and pine, underpinned by an earthy and mineral base. Myrcene contributes a musky, damp soil scent, while pinene adds resinous pine notes. A hint of lemon, attributed to limonene, emerges after curing, brightening the overall bouquet. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering a clean pine-resin taste followed by herbal earthiness and light citrus. A subtle peppery note from caryophyllene can be detected, with nuances of rosemary and lemon zest lingering on the palate.

This combination results in a balanced psychoactive experience with potential therapeutic applications.
