Tbh I'm not sure. It does seem to have yellow tones so I would assume there's at least some color going on. I'm more shocked by the structure than anything, literally looks like grassMaybe High Times didn't have color printing back then? Anyway, even the worst weed I had in the '70's looked much better than that. It was all outdoor grown, from Colombia, Mendocino, and Maui. It did usually have seeds. Even the mexican "cow piss" grass of the '60's looked better than those. I guess my age is showing.
