Originating on the American west coast, this mostly indica hybrid was later refined in the Netherlands for indoor rooms and glasshouses. Supplied as regular seeds, it produces both male and female plants that keep a compact, indica-style frame, usually below one metre indoors. Flowering is relatively quick, with plants ready after roughly 45 to 55 days, and a dense, many-plant layout is often favoured for good output, with a stated potential of around 350 grams per square metre. The buds look striking, with crystal-frosted calyxes, orange hairs and pale green tones. The flavour is sweet with a spicy orange edge, and the plants give off very little scent during growth. The 70/30 indica-sativa balance is said to deliver a comfortable body feeling alongside an uplifting, imaginative mental lift. Outdoors in a warm Mediterranean setting, plants can reach up to around two metres.
