Snowcap by Grand Daddy Purp Genetics doubles down on one of cannabis' funkiest names, crossing a Snow White mother made from Cat Piss and Jack Herer with another Cat Piss male. That's Cat Piss on both sides of the family tree, and Snowcap doesn't exactly rise above the family reputation. It reeks.
Sharp lemon cleaner and menthol cut through a pungent, funky base, with pine, herbs, and an unmistakably skunky edge piling on underneath. Grand Daddy Purp's own description basically treats odor control as mandatory, which tells you everything you need to know about Snowcap's commitment to discretion. The dense resin coating gives the strain its much prettier name, with mature flowers looking like somebody dragged them through fresh powder.
Weedmaps users put uplifted at the front of the experience, followed by happy and focused effects. The profile generally stays on the brighter, more cerebral side, making Snowcap considerably more energetic than its frosty name might suggest.
Snow on the buds. Cat Piss in the family tree. Cannabis naming really does contain multitudes.
The strain prefers to be cultivated indoors or in a greenhouse environment and is known for producing above-average yields. Snowcap, when cultivated indoors, is typically done flowering within 9 to 12 weeks after entering the flowering cycle.
When properly grown and cured, the fully mature buds produce a distinct smell of menthol and lemons. Snowcap has tested for over 23% THCA with caryophyllene, humulene, and myrcene being the most dominant terpenes.
A widely disputed second origin story for Snowcap is that the strain was rooted in the Humboldt Snow strain and crossed with Unknown Haze. This Snowcap is a Sativa-leaning strain that, if cultivated outdoors, has the capacity to become a much larger plant due to its genetics.
A purported clone-only cutting that’s difficult to obtain, this Snowcap strain is said to have an above-normal yield. Tapping into its Haze gene pool, Snowcap’s flower has been said to have a citrus-centric flavor with a touch of nutmeg, and a dash of vanilla.
