Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is high. Identity confidence is high. 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
“Citrus and incense over a spicy, earthy base.”
The nose is bright and complex: citrus and incense over a spicy, earthy base. The effect is a long, soaring cerebral high — energetic, creative and almost psychedelic, with little body.
It's slow to grow and not for the impatient, but its DNA runs through Blue Dream, Super Silver Haze and Jack Herer. For the source of haze genetics, this is it.
Genetics
