Physical Examination Comments: Upon inspecting the buds, the parent strains became obvious: the distinct orange hairs of Super Silver Haze, Grape Ape’s rich, varying hues of green and purple, and the dense layer of trichomes that characterize both parents. The outside of the buds are a deep forest green that’s just littered with copper-orange hairs and bits of blackish purple sugar leaf lingering amongst the flowers, and in some buds, the blackish purple color has taken over the bouquet completely. Breaking open a bud, the colors from the outside lighten in hue to lavender and golden pale-green, and reveal an even denser coat of trichomes closer to the stem that glows a pale golden color.
