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
“Grape and berry over a skunky, earthy base.”
The nose is sweet and fruity: grape and berry over a skunky, earthy base. The effect is balanced and happy — a relaxing, mood-lifting high with a comfortable body.
It's frosty and colourful, a flavour-led skunk variant. For purple skunk genetics, this is a likeable parent line.
