While primarily indica-dominant, lighter doses can also support creative endeavors or social settings, providing a mood-brightening uplift before settling into a physically centering sensation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids

Growing

This version is specifically bred to be mostly indica, diverging from some older sativa-leaning versions, and emphasizes consistency in structure and a warming sensory profile.
