What is the Snow Bud strain?

Snow Bud is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 12.0% THC, known for its cerebral effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.

Snow Bud is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, created through crossing Afghan Indica with South African Sativa genetics. The strain was specifically bred and selected in the Swiss Alps to develop exceptional resistance to cold climates and high-altitude conditions, making it part of Dutch Passion's "High Altitude" collection alongside Pamir Gold. With a genetic composition of approximately 60% sativa and 40% indica, Snow Bud represents a perfect balance of old-school landrace genetics adapted for challenging mountainous environments.

The strain gets its distinctive name from the abundant white pistils (stamen hairs) and thick layer of trichomes that give the buds a snow-covered appearance during flowering. Snow Bud exhibits typical sativa structural characteristics with long branches, slender leaves averaging 11 thin fingers (sometimes 13), and an open bud structure. Plants typically reach heights of 5-6.5 feet indoors and can grow to 6-7 feet outdoors in optimal conditions. The strain is renowned for its exceptional resilience to mold, mildew, and cold temperatures, making it particularly suitable for outdoor cultivation in challenging climates where most other varieties would struggle.
