Garlic Icing
Garlic Icing
Overview
Garlic Icing is a hybrid cannabis strain created through a genetic cross between GMO (also known as Garlic Cookies) and Papaya. This evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) has gained recognition for its distinctive flavor profile and well-rounded effects. The strain was bred by Fresh Coast Seed Company, a producer known for quality genetics and forward-thinking breeding techniques that prioritize terpene preservation and overall plant health. Named for its uniquely delicious flavor, Garlic Icing delivers a super herbal and garlicky taste with sage-like overtones accented by nutty, creamy cheese icing. The buds display fluffy, spade-shaped emerald-green nugs with dark purple leaves, super thin neon orange hairs and tiny, amber-tinted white crystal trichomes. The buds are dense and sticky, adorned with a generous covering of trichomes that give them a frosted appearance, often showcasing small, round buds with a frosty exterior and deep purple hue.
