Gary Payton

50/50 Hybrid

Gary Payton is a balanced hybrid bred by Cookies with Powerzzz Genetics — The Y crossed with Snowman — and named for the NBA Hall of Famer. Compact, chunky nugs run olive green through deep purple-grey, threaded with copper-orange pistils under a heavy frost of trichomes. The nose opens with pungent diesel over sweet cherry, spicy berry and citrus zest, settling into earthy pine, cool mint and a floral finish.

The effect is bright and even-keeled — a euphoric mood lift with clear focus and a creative, sociable edge, over a soothing body calm that stops short of heavy sedation. Best suited to daytime creativity, good company and easy afternoons.
