This strain typically produces medium-density flowers shaped like golf balls or pinecones, characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The buds often display olive to lime green hues, sometimes with undertones of lavender or deep purple, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the final stages of growth. Vibrant tangerine or copper pistils weave through the dense trichome coverage, which gives the mature flowers a frosted, sugar-dusted appearance.
