Snowplow
Also known as: Snow Plow
What is the Snowplow strain?
Snowplow is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
Snowplow is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain known for its potent effects and frosty appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. Breeders likely developed Snowplow by crossing heavy indica genetics to create a strain with powerful sedative properties, though specific parentage details remain undocumented in mainstream cannabis databases.
The strain earns its name from the dense coating of trichomes that covers its buds, giving them a snow-covered appearance. Snowplow typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and tightly packed, with hues ranging from deep forest green to purple, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The visual appeal is enhanced by the generous resin production that makes the buds appear frosted or dusted with powdered sugar.
Snowplow is recognized for its fast-acting effects that users describe as initially cerebral before settling into deep physical relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among evening and nighttime users seeking relief from various conditions. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Snowplow has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets, particularly in areas where heavy indica varieties are favored for their therapeutic potential.

How do you grow Snowplow?
Snowplow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent sunlight. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Snowplow requires careful attention to humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, given its dense bud structure. Nutrient needs are moderate, and the plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. The strain's high resin production makes it a good candidate for extraction purposes.
