FullMelt Selections: City Lights

Description

City Lights is a flavour-forward solventless cultivar combining the vibrant citrus expression of Orange Road with the resin production and washability of JOMO F2.

This line was developed to bring a brighter, more commercially accessible terpene profile into the FullMelt Selections range, without sacrificing the resin quality required for high-end extraction.

Compared to heavier gas cultivars, City Lights offers a more lifted, expressive profile, making it ideal for markets that favour clean, fruity, and terpene-rich products.
