* Lineage: The Y (Y Griega) × Snowman.
* Potency: Typically tests between 20% and 25% THC (with top-tier cuts pushing up to 28–30%), paired with minimal CBD (<1%). * Aroma & Flavor: A pungent profile dominated by sweet diesel, earthy pine, and peppery spices, rounded out by subtle nutty, berry, and citrus undertones. * Dominant Terpenes: Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Pinene (along with minor humulene and linalool). * Effects: Hits quickly with an uplifting, cerebral buzz that enhances focus, mood, and creativity, gradually transitioning into a mellow body relaxation that rarely induces heavy couch-lock. It works well for daytime or early evening use. * Growth Profile: Photoperiod flowering time runs roughly 7 to 9 weeks indoors. Plants produce dense, conical, frosty green-and-purple buds with vibrant orange pistils, responding best to controlled indoor conditions and topping/training to manage vertical stretch.
