Appearance

This cultivar typically exhibits narrow, spear-like leaflets and open internodes, with plants capable of significant height. During flowering, it develops long, calyx-forward buds with a lime to emerald green base and tangerine to gold pistils. High trichome coverage gives the buds a frosty appearance, and their medium density aids airflow and reduces mold risk.

Upon exhale, flavors of pine sap, eucalyptus, and a lingering peppery-herbal finish are common. Some phenotypes offer delicate hints of tea leaf and lemongrass.

Traces of THCV may also be present.

Growing
