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
“Sweet spice and citrus, a north-east Indian hill sativa.”
The nose is earthy and bright: spice and sweetness with a faint citrus. The effect is energetic and clear — an uplifting, creative head with no body, a pure daytime landrace.
It's hardy and moderate, prized by collectors for its rarity. For old-world northeast Indian sativa, Manipuri is a source.
