What is the Edelweiss strain?
Edelweiss is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Edelweiss is a distinguished hybrid cannabis strain named after the famous white flower that grows in the Swiss Alps. The strain derives its name from the white flower that grows in the high Swiss Alps, with the name literally meaning 'noble white' in German. The breeding team at Flying Dutchmen created this strain as a combination of Hindu Kush, Skunk #1, and a North Indian landrace. Edelweiss is primarily an indica-dominant hybrid strain with a 75:25 indica/sativa ratio. The strain can be successfully cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with moderate difficulty level requiring attention to factors such as 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. The buds are characterized by dense, compact structure with a thick layer of white trichomes giving them a frosty, sparkling appearance. The strain emits a fragrance similar to berries and roses, with floral, earthy notes complemented by hints of citrus and pine, often described as refreshing and clean like the crisp air of high-altitude regions.
