Buffalo Snow
Also known as: Buffalo Snow OG
What is the Buffalo Snow strain?
Buffalo Snow is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Buffalo Snow is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis cultivation circles. The strain is believed to have been developed sometime in the early 2010s, with its name potentially referencing both its geographic origins and its distinctive trichome coverage that gives buds a frosty, snow-like appearance. Limited documentation exists about its precise breeding history, contributing to its status as a somewhat elusive cultivar among enthusiasts.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and conical in structure, featuring a striking visual presentation with vibrant green foliage heavily coated in white trichomes that give the impression of a light dusting of snow. Orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually appealing contrast. The name 'Buffalo' may reference the Buffalo region of New York or could be a nod to the strain's purported strength and resilience, though this connection remains speculative without definitive breeding records.
Buffalo Snow is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, pine-forward notes with subtle undertones of citrus and spice. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Its rarity means that consistent phenotypic expressions can vary between growers, and some reports suggest there may be multiple phenotypes circulating under the same name, further complicating definitive characterization of this cultivar.
