Also known as: Frost Flakes, MAC NH3
What is the Frosted Flakes strain?
Frosted Flakes is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Frosted Flakes is a contemporary, dessert-leaning cannabis cultivar that rose to prominence alongside the wave of cereal- and candy-themed hybrids that dominated North American menus after 2018. The name nods to two consistent traits: an eye-catching coat of "frost" from dense capitate-stalked trichomes, and a confectionary, cereal-milk sweetness in the aroma. Frosted Flakes is an indica-dominant cross between Pre-98 Bubba Kush and White Bubba. However, this marijuana strain is one of those where the genetics vary between breeders, though many claim their version is the original, making it unclear which cultivar came first. Because the name is not unique to a single breeder, multiple lines circulate under the Frosted Flakes label, and regional cuts can vary considerably in structure, potency, and terpene ratios. While some variations exist in reported lineage, a widely recognized cross combines Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) with NH3. Other Frosted Flakes strain genetics include a Miracle Alien Cookies and NH3 cross by Taylormade Selections and a Dosidos/Tony Clifton blend by Secret Society.
Frosted Flakes has incredible bud appeal with a striking resemblance to the White Widow strain. Its appearance lives up to its name, with a thick frosting of snowy white trichomes coating its long, dense, round-shaped buds. Bright orange pistils creep along the surface of the light green nugs, while deep purple sugar leaves complete the look. Frosted Flakes is typically described as a 70/30 indica-to-sativa hybrid with the indica-dominant hybrid delivering a cool 19% THC to take the edge off without bowling you over. Frosted Flakes weed strain is an interesting case of an indica-dominant hybrid displaying predominantly sativa effects. The strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects, appealing aroma, and therapeutic potential among both recreational and medical cannabis users.
