| Lean style | indica-dominant |
| Lean | 66% indica · 34% sativa |
| Flowering | 70 days (~10 weeks) |
| Stretch | Medium stretch |
| Structure | Compact, bushy build with dense internodes — indica architecture from the foundational lineage |
| Leaf | Broad-leaf morphology likely dominant; wide fan leaves with rounded fingertips |
| Flower density | Dense, weighty flower formation — solid bud structure with tight calyxes |
| Trichome | Heavy trichome production — foundational lineage carries frost-monster heritage |
| Cannabinoid | Heavy THC character — fuel/kush/OG lineage carries traditional potency markers |

| Traits | kushpinefuelOGogtropicalsweetpineapple |
| Effect — head | Mellow, dreamy cerebral arc — settling rather than racing |
| Effect — body | Deep relaxation, weighted limbs, sleep-leaning at higher doses |
| Duration | Long, sustained finish — indica genetics extend the experience |
| Time of day | Evening / nighttime — settling rather than activating |
| Cultivation | Indoor-friendly compact build · suits SOG and ScrOG technique |
| Expected variation | high variation — every seed is a unique cross of two distinct parents; select your keeper |
| Select for | Phenos expressing dominant Triangle Kush traits will be most expressive |
| Amplified pheno | Hunt for Colombian Gold-leaning phenos — that heritage appears on both sides and will express most intensely |
