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
“Citrus and herbs over an earthy, spicy base.”
The nose is clean and bright: citrus and herbs over an earthy, spicy base. The effect is fast and clear — an energetic, creative, heady high with no body, a pure equatorial daytime strain.
It's long-flowering and moderate, a true rarity. For old-world island sativa genetics, Zamal is a collector's source.
