HortiLab Seeds may or may not have been aiming to create this masterpiece, and whether it was the result of a happy accident or lots of painstaking elbow grease, we are certainly lucky that it exists.

This is a potent little bud that lifts the spirit and eases the body of all of its daily woes.

With an average range of 10% to 15% THC, this isn’t a particularly strong strain, though the high will have you buzzing around in an ultra-happy state after just a couple of hits.

If the appearance of these little beauties didn’t draw you in the classic aromas and true to their parentage flavors certainly will. With the best of both parents coming out in its blend of flavors, users can indulge in the sour citrus and earthy flavors and skunky sweet and lemon aromas.
