Olympic Frost
Also known as: Olympic Frost OG, Olympic Frost Kush
Olympic Frost Strain Overview
Olympic Frost is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. The strain gained popularity among connoisseurs for its distinctive frosty appearance and balanced effects. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure, it is believed to have been developed by breeders seeking to combine the resin production of classic Kush varieties with the cerebral effects of sativa-dominant hybrids. The strain's name references both its geographical origins near the Olympic Peninsula and its characteristic heavy trichome coverage that gives the buds a frosted appearance.
The strain produces medium to large-sized plants with dense, conical buds that are typically light to medium green in color, often with purple or blue hues that become more pronounced during cooler nighttime temperatures. The most notable visual characteristic is the abundant trichome production that coats the buds, sugar leaves, and sometimes even fan leaves, creating a shimmering, frost-like appearance. The buds are typically resinous and sticky to the touch, with orange to amber pistils weaving through the dense floral structure.
Olympic Frost has maintained a dedicated following in the Pacific Northwest cannabis community but has not achieved widespread commercial distribution. The strain is considered somewhat rare outside its region of origin, though it has influenced several subsequent hybrid developments. Its balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications, though comprehensive scientific research on this specific cultivar remains limited.

Olympic Frost Strain Growing Information
Olympic Frost is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a temperate climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and heavy trichome production. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
