Snow Frost
Also known as: Snow Frost OG, Frosty Snow
Snow Frost Strain Overview
Snow Frost is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive appearance and potent effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it is believed to have been developed in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s through selective breeding of frosty phenotypes from various indica and sativa lineages. Breeders focused on enhancing the strain's trichome production, resulting in its characteristic snowy appearance that gives the strain its name.
Visually, Snow Frost is notable for its dense, resinous buds that are covered in a thick layer of milky-white trichomes, often appearing as though dusted with powdered sugar. The flowers typically display a range of green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The strain's frosty coating is not merely aesthetic but indicates high cannabinoid and terpene content, contributing to its potency and complex aroma profile.
Snow Frost has become particularly favored among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who value its reliable performance and distinctive characteristics. The strain represents a successful example of phenotype selection focused on visual appeal while maintaining desirable psychoactive and therapeutic properties.

Snow Frost Strain Growing Information
Snow Frost is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed.
Plants tend to remain medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, making them suitable for spaces with height restrictions. Snow Frost prefers a stable climate with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold on its dense, resinous buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation around the thick buds and monitoring for pests, as the dense foliage can create hiding places. The heavy trichome production requires careful handling during harvest to preserve the valuable resin glands.
