SMELL: Behind the initial dank fruity nose that this plant is known for is an ammonia/gas or onion smell which is prevalent mid veg..this slowly fades into the deep candied Mango/fresh Orange as she matures. In full flower her heady perfumed buds smell of intense rotten fruit...pungently sweet and Earthy.
TASTE: As with the smell, this plant will leave you with a mouth full of sweet, Earthy Mango and Skunk on the exhale..hints of Vanilla and Ice Cream, blend into a creamy, complex "Mango milkshake" taste rather than a sharp Citrus which is finally balanced out with a perfect Earthy funk.
EFFECT: Being Indica Dominant means this plant is ideal for evenings and winding down. Its potency allows for a super relaxed state without full couch-lock making it a great option for meditation and reconnecting with nature.
BAG APPEAL: The buds, when harvested and fully cured, retain a very greasy, resinous quality and are always stunningly aesthetic. Large, rock solid dusky green/light purple flowers are dusted with a shimmering frost and bound with Gold and Copper hairs.
