What is the California Snow strain?
California Snow is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and apple and citrus flavor profile.
California Snow is described as the rarest and most daring strain created by a team of botanists, representing a cross between an American Old School Hot California strain and a Canadian Ruderalis that was discovered in late 2013. This strain is a sativa-dominant hybrid made from a genetic cross between Hot California and Ruderalis, with a composition of 70% sativa and 30% indica. However, some sources describe it as indica-dominant with sativa traits, indicating possible phenotype variation. California Snow is a fast-growing autoflowering strain that produces snow-capped buds with a frosty main cola, with the mature plant being thickly dusted with snow-like resin at peak flowering - hence the name, as the buds are so covered with resin they appear snowy like a snow-covered mountain summit above a warm California valley. The result is a snow-capped plant with a frosty main cola, potent punch, and strong sweet and sour taste and fragrance. This strain produces oversized and super dense pepper-shaped bright neon green nugs with thick red-orange hairs and chunky, blue-tinted white crystal trichomes. California Snow was specifically created for marijuana growers who live in cold areas that experience very short summers, making it a nice and easy strain for growers in cold climates.

The strain's height will rarely exceed 130 cm (50 inches) while usually staying at about 80 cm (30 inches), and it's suitable for both indoor and outdoor grows, though cultivation under HIDs is recommended. For outdoor grows in warm climates, growers can reap four harvests in a single growing season.
