Frosted Blue Skittlez
Also known as: Frosted Blue Skittles
Frosted Blue Skittlez Strain Overview
Frosted Blue Skittlez is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its distinctive appearance and complex flavor profile. The strain was developed by crossing Blue Skittlez with an undisclosed frosty indica-dominant parent, resulting in a balanced hybrid that combines the best characteristics of both lineages. Breeders specifically selected for the strain's striking visual appeal, which features dense, resin-coated buds with deep purple and blue hues contrasted against bright orange pistils.
The strain's name derives from its appearance and aroma profile. The 'frosted' aspect refers to the thick layer of trichomes that covers the buds, giving them a crystalline, sugar-coated appearance reminiscent of frost. The 'Blue Skittlez' component comes from its parent strain and describes both its coloration and its candy-like terpene profile. While the exact breeding history remains somewhat proprietary, the strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the 'dessert strain' trend in cannabis cultivation.
Frosted Blue Skittlez is particularly noted for its bag appeal and aromatic complexity. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a dense, indica-like structure but maintain some sativa-like branching patterns. The coloration can vary depending on growing conditions, with cooler temperatures during flowering enhancing the purple and blue pigments. The strain has become popular in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets, though it remains somewhat rare compared to more established commercial strains.

Frosted Blue Skittlez Strain Growing Information
Frosted Blue Skittlez is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing temperature drops during late flowering to enhance coloration. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, with some growers reporting enhanced terpene production in living soil setups. Regular pruning and training techniques like SCROG or LST can help maximize light penetration and yield.
