Edelweiß
Edelweiß
Also known as: Edelweiss, Noble White
Edelweiß Strain Overview
Edelweiß (literally meaning "noble white") derives its name from the famous white flower that blossoms in the Swiss Alps. The cannabis strain is coated in a thick, frosty layer of milky trichomes that make its buds look snow-covered when harvest-ready. The strain originates from Amsterdam and derives its genetics from a triple crossing of the indica strain Hindu Kush, the hybrid Skunk No. 1, and the indica North Indian. Edelweiß is classified as a mostly indica strain, with some sources describing it as having a 75:25 indica/sativa ratio.
The strain produces tightly packed and dense forest green buds that are incredibly frosty with a thick resin coating, with little green visible due to the sticky nature of the nuggets. Edelweiß buds emit a fragrance similar to berries and roses, often smelling like a lovely perfume, and produce a sweet and berry flavor upon consumption. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 7-8 weeks (50-60 days) and can be cultivated indoors. Edelweiß is considered quite rare and elusive in the cannabis market, making it one of the more difficult strains to find.

Edelweiß Strain Growing Information
Edelweiß has a flowering time of approximately 50-60 days (7-8 weeks) and can be cultivated indoors. The strain can be successfully cultivated both indoors and outdoors with moderate difficulty level, requiring attention to light, humidity, temperature, and proper nutrient management. The plant is resilient and adaptable, but its high resin content makes it particularly sensitive to environmental changes. Edelweiß thrives in a temperature range of 68°F to 80°F (20°C to 27°C) during the day with slight drops at night, and the strain is relatively adaptable to varying temperatures. Intermediate growers and below will have difficulty with this strain, as it is recommended for expert cultivation levels and seeds are not readily available.
