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
“Crisp green apple and citrus over a gassy diesel base.”
The nose is sour and bright: crisp green apple and citrus over a gassy diesel base. The high is up and lively — an energetic, mood-lifting head with a comfortable body, well suited to daytime.
It's flavour-forward and zesty, gas and fruit at once. For sour-apple tang with a diesel edge, it's a sharp, cheerful pick.
