Lava Freeze
Also known as: M33 cross, Friesland x Lava Cake
Lava Freeze Strain Overview
Lava Freeze is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Karel for Super Sativa Seed Club, representing a unique crossbreeding of old school genetics with modern cultivars. This strain combines Friesland Indica (also known as M33 or Freezeland), a legendary Dutch landrace known for its cold resistance and robust outdoor performance in Canadian growing operations, with Lava Cake, an elite new school strain prized for its vigorous hybrid growth and exceptional terpene profile. Bred from an elite Lava Cake clone and developed through careful F3 stabilization, Lava Freeze has gained recognition as a reliable and potent strain that preserves the hardiness of classic indica genetics while incorporating modern breeding improvements.
The strain exhibits typical indica-dominant characteristics with a compact, bushy growth structure featuring solid branching and dense, resin-coated buds. Four distinct phenotypes exist - two displaying purple and dark hues when grown in cool conditions, and two showing bright green coloration. The buds develop an extremely thick layer of white, glistening trichomes with minimal leaf production, making trimming relatively easy. Early resin development begins almost immediately when plants show sex, with surrounding leaves quickly becoming covered in sticky trichomes. The strain's visual appeal is enhanced by its compact, bulbous structure and 'amazing bag appeal' according to growers, with some phenotypes capable of turning very dark purple or even black under cool flowering conditions.

Lava Freeze Strain Growing Information
Lava Freeze is considered easy to grow and suitable for beginners, thriving both indoors and outdoors. The strain has a fast flowering time of approximately 8 weeks (53-56 days) with plants staying relatively compact due to their indica heritage. Most phenotypes experience moderate stretch during the first 1-2 weeks of flowering before settling into dense bud development. Plants are resilient and stress-resistant, suitable for temperate climates worldwide except extreme northern or southern regions. Indoor cultivation produces medium-sized bushy plants with solid branching and chunky flowers, while outdoor plants are typically ready by early October. The strain responds well to various training techniques and benefits from leaf tucking to maximize light penetration. Yields are described as heavy and abundant, particularly in resin production, making it excellent for concentrate creation.
