Their color ranges from lime to deep green, sometimes with hints of purple along the edges, especially under cooler nighttime temperatures. The flowers are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, and feature tangerine to rust-colored pistils.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of the Vegas strain is dominated by sharp notes of lemon peel and citrus zest, often accompanied by undertones of fuel and pine reminiscent of OG strains. Some phenotypes may also exhibit a subtle sweetness, evoking candy or sherbet. On the palate, it delivers a tart citrus flavor, followed by earthy and spicy notes, with a lingering lemon-fuel aftertaste.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain commonly features a terpene profile rich in limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and myrcene. Its THC content typically ranges from 20% to 27%, with minimal CBD. The combination of these cannabinoids and terpenes contributes to its distinct sensory profile and balanced effects.
Growing
