Appearance
Papaya Cookies Auto typically grows to a compact or medium height, between 60-100 cm indoors, and develops a central cola with strong side branches. The buds are conical or spear-shaped, densely packed with calyxes and heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. While generally green, cooler temperatures during the final stages of growth may induce subtle lavender hues on the sugar leaves.

Upon closer inspection, hints of vanilla cream and a subtle spicy pepper can be detected. The flavor follows suit, offering a tropical fruitiness on the inhale, transitioning to a buttery sweetness and vanilla cream on the exhale, with a light spice undertone.
