What is known suggests it emerged from selective breeding programs in the early 2010s, likely on the West Coast of the United States, though specific details about its creation timeline and initial breeders are not widely recorded in mainstream cannabis literature.

The strain presents with dense, conical buds that exhibit a vibrant green coloration accented by fiery orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance that hints at its potency. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
