Appearance

Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a potent, savory funk reminiscent of aged cheese, buttered sourdough, and a hint of yogurt. Underlying notes of earthy skunk, damp wood, pine, and cracked pepper emerge, creating a complex bouquet. Upon combustion, flavors of buttery umami, skunky earth, white pepper, and a lingering sour dairy note are prominent.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile commonly includes Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene, with supporting notes of Humulene and Linalool. This combination contributes to the strain's pungent aroma and complex flavor. THC levels typically range from 18% to 24%, with CBD content below 1%.
Growing
