What is the Jack Frost strain?
Jack Frost is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Jack Frost was developed and perfected by the Californian breeder Goldenseed over five years, creating a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain composed of 65% sativa and 35% indica genetics. Developed by the Californian breeder Goldenseed over a meticulous five-year period, Jack Frost strain is a cross between 3 legendary strains: White Widow, Northern Lights #5, and Jack Herer. The strain is named after the strain's heavy "frosty" coating of resin, making it look as if it's been flocked by snow, with bright orange pistils also characterize the plant.
Gained mainstream popularity in the early 2000s, Jack Frost stands out for its high resin production and abundant white trichomes. Goldenseed chose White Widow for its HEAVY trichome production, while Northern Lights was selected for its ease of cultivation, stability, and contribution of some earthy undertones. These three strains were intended to create a strain that checked all the boxes: effects, bag appeal, and ease of growth. The strain is known for being relatively easy to grow for beginners and veteran growers and resistant to most molds, mildew, pests, and diseases.
