Cloud Cover in Missouri excels at this cross of MAC x Lemon Fire, bred by Capulator. Cloud Cover has won Cannabis Cups in Oregon and Michigan—and it shows. The big, chunky, purple and green indoor-grown nugs were the loudest flower in Fresh Karma, KC that day. The lemony pungency carried over to the great-tasting smoke, and superb, strong effect. Tasted like lemon fire, and hit like a Mac truck. A great pre-game for some brisket, Bud Light, and the blues.
