Snowmonster
Also known as: Snow Monster
Snowmonster Strain Overview
Snowmonster is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing two legendary parent strains, creating a cultivar that combines potent effects with distinctive visual characteristics. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure in public records, it has gained recognition within cannabis enthusiast communities for its balanced effects and frosty appearance.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that are typically medium to large in size. Snowmonster's most notable visual feature is its exceptionally thick coating of trichomes, which gives the buds a frosted, snow-covered appearance that inspired its name. The buds often display deep purple hues mixed with vibrant green, complemented by bright orange pistils. The foliage tends to be dark green with occasional purple coloration, particularly in cooler growing conditions.
Snowmonster has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets, particularly in legal states where craft cannabis cultivation is prevalent. While not as widely distributed as some commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among consumers who appreciate its combination of aesthetic appeal and reliable effects. The strain represents an example of the boutique breeding that flourished during the early years of legal cannabis markets in the United States.

Snowmonster Strain Growing Information
Snowmonster is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Snowmonster responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering (avoiding excessive heat) and ensuring good air circulation due to the dense bud structure. The plants benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during late flowering to enhance purple coloration and terpene development.
