Snowday
Also known as: Snow Day
Snowday Strain Overview
Snowday is a modern indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular parent strains to create a balanced yet potent experience. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to combine the relaxing qualities of classic indicas with the cerebral effects of certain sativas. Its name references both its frosty trichome coverage and its suitability for cozy indoor relaxation, particularly during cold weather.
Visually, Snowday plants are characterized by dense, chunky buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. As the name suggests, the strain produces exceptionally heavy trichome coverage that gives the buds a frosted, snowy appearance. The trichomes are resinous and plentiful, contributing to both the strain's potency and its sticky texture when handled.
Snowday has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. The strain is known for producing consistent results across different growing environments and has become increasingly available in legal cannabis markets. While not as historically significant as some classic landrace strains, Snowday represents the continuing evolution of cannabis breeding toward specific effect profiles and user experiences.

Snowday Strain Growing Information
Snowday is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but prefers controlled indoor conditions where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Snowday responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain exhibits good resistance to common pests and diseases when grown in clean conditions.
