What is the Snowball strain?
Snowball is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and chemical and citrus flavor profile.
Snowball is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing The White with Chem 4 OG by Ethos Genetics. Named for its distinctive snow-white appearance, this strain features heavy, oversized, fluffy popcorn-shaped buds with rich amber undertones, thin orange hairs, and a completely blanketed cover of glittering white crystal trichomes that give it its characteristic frosty appearance resembling fresh snow. The strain is particularly renowned for its massive resin production and dense structure inherited from its parent strains.
The White contributes exceptional trichome production and potency, while Chem 4 OG (a cross of Chemdog and San Fernando Valley OG Kush) brings a complex terpene profile featuring fuel, chemical, and diesel notes balanced with creamy, citrusy undertones. Snowball has gained significant popularity among cannabis connoisseurs for its unique combination of visual appeal, potent effects, and sophisticated flavor profile. With THC levels consistently ranging from 26-30%, this strain delivers powerful therapeutic and recreational benefits, making it suitable for experienced users seeking intense relaxation and euphoria. The strain's growing popularity is attributed to its reliable genetics, generous yields, and the distinctive "snowball effect" where the high gradually builds and intensifies over time.
