The surface is heavily coated in glandular trichomes, giving a frosted appearance, and pistils typically mature from bright tangerine to a coppery caramel. Coloration can range from lime to forest green, sometimes displaying plum or maroon hues, especially when grown with cooler night temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor

Underlying this sweetness is a spicy, peppery scent, sometimes accompanied by a subtle diesel or fuel undertone that balances the profile. Flavors mirror the aroma, presenting a complex blend of sweet pastry, spice, and a hint of gas.
