Hints of lime and pale yellow are often present, interspersed with subtle rusty undertones. The leaves typically display intricate patterns and deep serrated edges, common features among indica-dominant varieties.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Lemon Garlic presents an intricate blend, starting with a burst of zesty lemon that transitions into subtle, earthy garlic undertones. Users experience a tangy citrus scent complemented by a faint spicy hint. The flavor mirrors this complexity, with an initial bright citrus taste on the inhale followed by a savory finish reminiscent of roasted garlic and a touch of spice.

Caryophyllene is also present, adding spicy undertones and potentially contributing to anti-inflammatory benefits.
