Quick Freeze

Quick Freeze is a specialized cannabis hybrid developed by Oregon Green Seed, created through the crossing of Mighty Mite and Freezeland F7. This strain represents the F8 generation after three successive breeding projects by OGS, with current seedstock made in 2019. The strain was specifically designed for outdoor cultivation in challenging northern climates and high-altitude environments. Mighty Mite and Freezeland, the parents of this hybrid, are both long-established genetics that have been grown outdoors in Canada for decades. Mighty Mite, the mother in this cross, is composed of genetics that originate in the Himalayas, which is likely why it performs so well at higher altitudes.

The breeding of Quick Freeze was intentionally focused on creating a hardy, fast-flowering strain suitable for extreme growing conditions. Both Mighty Mite and Freezeland have each become popular as breeding tools to bring down flowering time and add 'weather resistance' to less hardy cannabis cultivars. Together, these varieties bring fast flowering time and a hardiness to cold and short season grow locations. Quick Freeze is particularly suited to high-altitude grows, or outdoor growing conditions that experience plummeting nighttime temps, few hours of direct sun, and unusually early fall frost and snow. The strain has been used as a parent in several other breeding projects, including crosses with Lebanese landrace and Swiss Strawberry varieties, demonstrating its value as a breeding stock for creating quick-finishing, hardy cannabis cultivars.
