Potent, energizing buzz
This potent, energizing cultivar boasts large and beautiful buds, thick with sticky trichome cover. The trichome sheen highlights the tight trim and the vibrant-looking orange and deep purple of the glossy dried flowers.
These medium-tall plants can grow a little weak in the branches at the appearance of their gorgeous, large and gleaming buds. Their above average yield (656.4 g/m2) means trellising is recommended. While not overly leafy, the plants also benefit from some defoliation.
