Winter Weather Advisory
Also known as: Winter Advisory, Winter Storm Warning
Winter Weather Advisory Strain Overview
Winter Weather Advisory is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development rights, though most industry sources attribute its creation to boutique breeders in Oregon and Washington who sought to create a strain specifically suited for cold-weather cultivation and consumption. The name reflects both its resilience to cooler growing conditions and the deeply relaxing, 'snowed-in' effects reported by users.
Visually, Winter Weather Advisory presents with dense, frosty buds that often display a striking contrast between dark forest green foliage and vibrant purple hues that emerge in cooler temperatures. The flowers are typically coated in a thick layer of milky-white trichomes, giving them a wintry appearance that matches the strain's name. The buds are compact and resinous, with orange pistils weaving through the floral structure. When properly cured, the nugs break apart with a satisfying snap, revealing complex aromatic profiles.
Notable characteristics include its adaptability to various growing environments, particularly cooler climates where many cannabis strains struggle. The strain has gained a cult following among medical cannabis patients in legal states, though it remains relatively uncommon in commercial dispensaries. Breeders have noted its stable genetics and consistent expression of traits across multiple generations, making it a reliable choice for growers seeking predictable results. The strain's rarity contributes to its mystique within cannabis enthusiast circles, with some considering it a 'hidden gem' of the Pacific Northwest cannabis scene.

Winter Weather Advisory Strain Growing Information
Winter Weather Advisory is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Yields are moderate, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-22 ounces per plant outdoors. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but shows particular resilience in cooler outdoor conditions where it develops more pronounced purple coloration. Plants typically reach 3-4 feet indoors but can stretch to 5-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering (preferably 68-78°F/20-26°C) and providing good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain responds well to low-stress training techniques and can handle slight nutrient deficiencies better than many modern hybrids.
