Also known as: Edelweiss, Noble White
What is the Edelweiß strain?
Edelweiß is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
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.
