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
“Lemon-spice over earthy herb, a classic Thai lift.”
The nose is clean and sharp: citrus and spice over an earthy, herbal base. The effect is a fast, electric cerebral high with no body, a pure equatorial daytime strain.
It's long-flowering and moderate, a heritage rarity. For old-world highland Thai sativa, this is a collector's source.
