The buds are a nice and fluffy light green color with tons of orange hairs. Smell is light and sweet. The flavor is much the same. Dare I say like cotton candy? The effects come on quickly yet smoothly. Relaxation starts in your temples and eyes and works its way down your back. My mind feels alert with no anxiety to speak of. Not much fatigue, grogginess, or couch lock. Nice daytime strain with great anxiety relieving qualities.
