A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosted, almost sugary look, contributing to their overall aesthetic and potency.

Hints of citrus and herbal notes emerge, creating a complex and enjoyable experience often described as dessert-like.
Effects

This cerebral stimulation gradually transitions into a deep sense of physical relaxation, often leading to a couch-lock sensation. Users often report a calming experience that can alleviate stress and promote a sense of well-being.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The strain is characterized by a rich terpene profile, with dominant compounds including myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene.
