A heavy coating of cloudy trichomes gives the buds a frosted, greasy appearance.

The plant structure is indica-leaning, with broad leaves and compact internode spacing, making it suitable for indoor grows and techniques like topping. Its manageable stretch allows for cultivation in smaller spaces.
