Cold Snap Strain Overview
Cold Snap is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% Indica, 30% Sativa) created by Wyeast Farms through crossing Biscotti and The Menthol. This modern cultivar emerged during a period of excitement in the cannabis community when growers sought reliable genetics that could handle various environments. Early user feedback indicates that over 80% of testers rated Cold Snap highly for its strength and unique sensory experience, establishing it as a favorite among connoisseurs and cultivators alike.
The strain displays distinctive visual characteristics with dark purple hues accented by green edges and vibrant orange pistils, along with small and tight emerald-green nugs covered in tiny amber-tinted white crystal trichomes. Cold Snap typically develops dense, golf-ball to spear-shaped colas with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and abundant glandular trichomes, often grading as A or A+ visually with a glistening frost layer.
Cold Snap is celebrated for icy-cool aromatics, frosty trichome coverage, and a balanced-yet-potent high that leans relaxing at higher doses. In dispensary menus and grow forums, it is frequently described as a modern hybrid with mint, gas, and sweet dessert notes. The strain's unique aromatic profile features layers of sweet fuel, mint, earth, pine, sour citrus, and vanilla, making it highly sought-after for its distinctive cooling sensation and therapeutic potential.

Cold Snap Strain Growing Information
Cold Snap has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (approximately 60 days) and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouses. This strain is resilient and thrives in cool climates, making it ideal for growers in temperate regions, reaching heights of 5-8 feet in either indoor or outdoor settings. Indoor growers can expect yields of 14-15 ounces per square meter (450-600 g/m²), while outdoor growers can harvest 11-16 ounces per plant (500g to 2kg per plant in favorable climates). The strain prefers controlled indoor settings or temperate climates and requires stable environmental monitoring of temperature and humidity, along with adequate nutrition to develop its distinct terpene profile. Training techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST) can enhance yield and promote uniform canopy development. The strain responds well to cool late-flower nights which enhance purple coloration.
