Subzero
Also known as: Sub Zero, Sub-Zero
What is the Subzero strain?
Subzero is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Subzero is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Subcool of TGA Genetics. The strain was created by crossing the classic indica Northern Lights with a phenotype of the sativa-dominant hybrid Jack the Ripper. This genetic combination results in a plant that exhibits predominantly indica characteristics while maintaining some cerebral effects from its sativa lineage. The strain gained popularity in the early 2000s and has remained a favorite among indica enthusiasts for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile.
Subzero plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a frosty appearance that gives the strain its name. The nugs are often dark green with purple hues and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a white, icy appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually striking contrast. The strain's aroma is complex, combining earthy, pine, and citrus notes with a subtle fuel-like undertone that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Notable features of Subzero include its relatively fast flowering time for an indica-dominant strain and its adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects that provide both physical relaxation and mental clarity, making it suitable for evening use. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Subzero maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its classic indica characteristics with a modern twist.

Subzero is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in temperate climates with consistent temperatures. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant.
