SnowBallz
Also known as: Snow Balls
SnowBallz Strain Overview
SnowBallz is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant Snowcap with the sativa-dominant Snow White. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from breeders seeking to combine the frosty appearance and relaxing qualities of Snowcap with the uplifting, cerebral effects of Snow White. It gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California and Colorado, for its balanced effects and visually striking buds. The strain is known for its dense, resinous flowers that are often covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a snowy, white appearance that inspired the name.
The plant typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a structure that is compact and chunky, featuring hues of deep green interspersed with purple and orange pistils. The high trichome production not only contributes to its visual appeal but also indicates a potent cannabinoid and terpene profile. SnowBallz is recognized for its robust growth and relatively high yield, making it a favored choice among cultivators looking for a visually impressive and effective hybrid.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile and the balanced effects that cater to both recreational and therapeutic users. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, SnowBallz has maintained a niche following due to its reliable performance and enjoyable experience. It is often recommended for evening use or situations where a blend of mental and physical relaxation is desired without overwhelming sedation.

SnowBallz Strain Growing Information
SnowBallz is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October. The plant tends to be medium in height, reaching about 3 to 5 feet indoors and up to 6 feet outdoors, making it manageable for most grow spaces. It prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in temperate, sunny climates with low humidity to prevent mold. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting around 14 to 18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving up to 20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. Special considerations include providing good airflow to avoid bud rot due to its dense buds, and it benefits from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light exposure and yield. The strain is resilient to common pests but may require attention to nutrient levels to support its vigorous growth.
