Frosty Kush
Also known as: Frosty OG Kush, Frosty OG
Frosty Kush Strain Overview
Frosty Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive appearance and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it is generally believed to be a cross between OG Kush and an unknown frosty phenotype, possibly related to strains like White Widow or Snowcap. Breeders likely developed this strain to combine the classic Kush characteristics with enhanced trichome production, resulting in the visually striking appearance that gives the strain its name.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that are covered in a thick layer of frosty white trichomes, giving the appearance of being dusted with powdered sugar. The nugs typically display various shades of green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The frosty coating is not merely aesthetic but indicates high cannabinoid and terpene content. Frosty Kush plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for various growing environments.
Notable features include its balanced hybrid effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has become popular among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatility. While not as historically significant as its parent OG Kush, Frosty Kush has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate visually striking strains with reliable effects.

Frosty Kush Strain Growing Information
Frosty Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 3-5 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense, resinous buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
