Appearance & Aroma

Lemon Pound Cake buds are fluffy and round with a bit of a pointed tip. Because of these features, they can often appear almost heart-shaped. They are a bright neon green which can easily be overshadowed by its plentiful yellowish and bright orange pistils that make them appear even brighter. They are covered with tiny crystal trichomes, giving them a golden shimmering appearance! The strain has a unique profile of dominant terpenes including Humulene, Myrcene, and Caryophyllene. These come together to offer an ultra rich and delicious blend of notes that are reminiscent of, obviously, cheesy and lemony cake! There are also notes of herbal, piney wood and spice that nicely complement the musky and pungent cheese and sour citrus. These are further complicated by tones of a sweet vanilla that gives it that delicious cakey flavour!
