Frostbite Strain Overview
Frostbite is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has garnered attention for its striking appearance and balanced effects. The strain's exact genetic lineage is debated among sources, with most agreeing it likely originates from a cross between Afghan Kush and Deep Purple by TGA Subcool, though some sources mention alternative breeding by Baked Beanz or variations with different parent strains. The strain gets its name from its distinctive appearance, featuring dense buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give it a frosty, snow-covered appearance with bright green coloration interspersed with flashes of blue, purple, and white, all accented by vibrant orange pistils.
Frostbite has established itself as a versatile strain suitable for both recreational and medicinal users. The strain typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 15% to 22%, with most samples testing around 18-21%, while CBD content remains minimal at less than 1%. Its sativa-dominant genetics (approximately 85% sativa, 15% indica) contribute to its uplifting and energizing effects, making it popular for daytime use among consumers seeking focus and creativity without overwhelming sedation.

Frostbite Strain Growing Information
Frostbite is considered moderately challenging to grow and performs best when cultivated indoors, though it can be grown outdoors in suitable climates. The strain has a flowering period of 8-9 weeks indoors and is typically ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Plants tend to be tall and lanky due to their sativa-dominant genetics, reaching heights of 5-8 feet both indoors and outdoors, requiring adequate vertical space and potential training techniques like Sea of Green. Indoor yields average around 400-450 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 550 grams per plant. The strain benefits from pruning to improve airflow and light penetration, and thrives in warm, sunny conditions with proper humidity control.
