Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is medium. Identity confidence is medium. The diagram is this strain's own sensory radar, not a photo. Batch quality still depends on grower, freshness and storage — none of which is captured here.
Background
The story
“Pineapple and citrus over a light, sweet base.”
The nose is bright and tropical: pineapple and citrus over a light, sweet base. The effect is uplifting and gentle — a happy, creative, low-stress head, an easy daytime sativa.
It's moderate and mellow, more about mood and flavour than power. For sunny tropical-sativa genetics, Hawaiian is a source.
