Overview
Sub Zero is a captivating hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant popularity among both recreational and medicinal users. The most widely recognized version, known as Sub Zero #12, was bred by Grow More Fire Genetics through a cross of Super Boof and Oreoz. There is also a separate strain by the same name from North Genetics, created by crossing Chemdawg and Hindu Kush with Strawberry Diesel. Sub Zero is characterized by its thick, white coat of trichomes covering medium-stretch plants that bloom with blocky, deep purple buds, producing high yields with THC levels often testing over 22%. The strain's appearance is particularly striking, with dense, resinous buds that give it a frozen look, hence its icy name. Users describe the buds as having white and blue swirls that shimmer together like snowdrifts, with ground material resembling crushed glacier dust. This balanced hybrid strain is known for its potent effects and exceptional flavor profile, gaining popularity due to its balanced nature and wide range of benefits for both recreational users and medical patients.

Growing Information
Growing Sub Zero is a rewarding experience for both novice and experienced cultivators, known for its resilience and ability to thrive in various environments. The strain performs well indoors where environment can be controlled, with a flowering time of 8-10 weeks. It flowers relatively quickly within 49 to 62 days and can reach heights of 30-60 inches, producing 1-2 oz/ft² indoors and up to 20 oz per plant outdoors. When grown outdoors, Sub Zero thrives in warm, sunny climates with low humidity, with plants often reaching heights of five to seven feet. Temperature should be maintained between 70-80°F with proper humidity control and ventilation to prevent mold and mildew. The strain benefits from training techniques like topping and LST, and requires balanced nutrients with emphasis on phosphorus and potassium during flowering. Difficulty level is considered moderate, requiring attention to detail for optimal results.
