Frosty Fish
Also known as: Frosty Fish OG
Frosty Fish Strain Overview
Frosty Fish is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community, but it is generally believed to have been developed by boutique breeders seeking to create a visually striking hybrid with balanced effects. The name 'Frosty Fish' reportedly derives from the strain's distinctive appearance—dense buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes that resemble frost, combined with a subtle aquatic aroma note that some users describe as reminiscent of fresh fish or ocean air.
The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized buds that are typically forest green with occasional purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The most notable visual feature is the exceptionally heavy coating of crystalline trichomes that gives the buds a frosted, almost white appearance. The buds are usually dense and resinous, with orange pistils weaving through the frosty surface. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy and pine notes with subtle citrus undertones and that distinctive aquatic quality that gives the strain its name.
Frosty Fish has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and unique terpene profile. While not as widely available as commercial strains, it has maintained popularity in certain regional markets, particularly in the Pacific Northwest and parts of Canada. The strain's rarity and distinctive characteristics have made it a subject of interest among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate unique genetic expressions and complex flavor profiles.

Frosty Fish Strain Growing Information
Frosty Fish is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate growers. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-7 feet outdoors with proper training.
Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 16-22 ounces per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Frosty Fish responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense, resinous buds are susceptible to moisture issues. The strain benefits from a slight temperature drop during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering. The heavy trichome production makes this strain particularly suitable for extraction purposes.
