Yellow Snow
Also known as: Yellow Snow OG
Yellow Snow Strain Overview
Yellow Snow is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its distinctive appearance and potent effects. The strain's name derives from its visual characteristics, as the dense buds are typically covered in a thick layer of white trichomes that resemble freshly fallen snow, often with yellow or golden undertones in the pistils. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources indicate it was developed through selective breeding of OG Kush genetics, though specific parent strains are not consistently documented across sources.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds that are typically dense and resinous, with a color palette ranging from deep forest green to lime green, accented by vibrant orange or amber pistils. The trichome coverage is exceptionally heavy, giving the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that contributes to both its visual appeal and potency. Yellow Snow has gained popularity in certain regional markets, particularly in the western United States, though it remains less widely available than some mainstream commercial strains.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation. The strain's genetics typically produce plants with a moderate growth structure that can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though specific growing characteristics may vary between phenotypes. As with many cannabis strains, the exact lineage and breeding history of Yellow Snow are not always consistently documented, and some variations may exist between different breeders' versions of this strain.

Yellow Snow Strain Growing Information
Yellow Snow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching between 3 to 5 feet tall when grown indoors, with outdoor plants potentially growing taller. Yield is generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Yellow Snow prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering. The plants typically develop a bushy structure that may require some pruning and training to optimize light penetration and airflow. Special considerations include monitoring for mold and mildew during flowering due to the dense bud structure, and maintaining proper nutrient balance as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The heavy trichome production makes this strain particularly susceptible to pests like spider mites, so regular inspection is recommended.
