Appearance
True to its name, Snowballs is characterized by a heavy coating of glandular trichomes, giving the buds a frosted, sugar-dusted appearance. Mature plants may exhibit vibrant purple hues among the white trichomes, especially under cooler environmental conditions. The bud structure is typically dense, resembling short cones or rounded bullets.
Aroma & Flavor

Upon grinding, citrus and sweet notes emerge, often described as a duet of sweet citrus and pungent gas. The flavor follows suit, presenting bright citrus and fuel on the palate, finishing with creamy, earthy, and sometimes peppery or piney notes.
