Platinum Freeze
Also known as: Platinum Freeze OG
Platinum Freeze Strain Overview
Platinum Freeze is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, representing a carefully crafted cross between two notable parent strains. The strain was developed to combine the frosty appearance and potent effects of its lineage while offering a balanced experience suitable for various users. Its name derives from the distinctive platinum-colored trichomes that coat the buds, giving them a frozen, crystalline appearance under proper lighting conditions.
The strain typically produces dense, medium-sized buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The visual appeal is enhanced by the heavy trichome coverage that gives Platinum Freeze its signature frosty look. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, making it suitable for various cultivation techniques including SCROG (Screen of Green) and topping.
Notable characteristics include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that have made it popular among both recreational and medicinal users. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Platinum Freeze has developed a following in certain cannabis communities for its reliable performance and distinctive qualities. The strain represents a successful hybridization effort that maintains desirable traits from both indica and sativa lineages.

Platinum Freeze Strain Growing Information
Platinum Freeze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Indoor height typically reaches 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow to 150-200 cm. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when phosphorus and potassium demands increase.
