Buffalo Blizzard
Buffalo Blizzard Strain Overview
Buffalo Blizzard is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by crossing two notable parent strains, though precise breeding records are somewhat limited due to its regional development. Its name references both its geographic origins and the frosty trichome coverage that characterizes mature buds.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep green coloration accented by purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The most notable visual characteristic is the exceptionally thick coating of crystal-like trichomes that gives the buds a frosted, snowy appearance, hence the 'Blizzard' portion of its name. The buds typically have a slightly conical structure with tight calyx formation.
Buffalo Blizzard has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not widely available in commercial markets, it has maintained a following in certain regional cannabis communities where it is appreciated for its reliable performance and distinctive characteristics. The strain's rarity means that specific information about its development and distribution is less documented than more mainstream varieties.

Buffalo Blizzard Strain Growing Information
Buffalo Blizzard is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants exhibit hybrid growth characteristics, reaching medium height of 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. They respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation tends to enhance the strain's complex flavor profile. Buffalo Blizzard prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and good air circulation to prevent mold issues. The plants benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Special considerations include maintaining consistent temperatures during flowering and providing adequate support for the dense, resinous buds.
