The buds are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Growers may observe leaves with varying shades of green, sometimes showing purple undertones under cooler conditions. The buds are generally dense, contributing to significant resin production.

This combination influences both the sensory experience and the strain's effects.
