Snowcap
Snowcap is a Sativa-dominant hybrid recognized for its intense, pungent aroma and a heavy resin coating that gives its buds a snow-dusted appearance.
About Snowcap
Snowcap is a complex strain with two primary, competing origin stories. The version selected by Grand Daddy Purp Genetics is a cross between a Snow White mother—itself a combination of Cat Piss and Jack Herer—and a Cat Piss male. This lineage results in a notoriously pungent profile characterized by sharp notes of lemon cleaner and menthol, layered over a funky, skunky, and herbal base. Users frequently report an experience defined by uplifted, happy, and focused cerebral effects, which are notably more energetic than the strain's frosty name might imply. This version has tested for over 23% THCA, with caryophyllene, humulene, and myrcene as the dominant terpenes.
An alternative, widely disputed origin story suggests that Snowcap is derived from Humboldt Snow crossed with an unknown Haze variety. This version is often described as a clone-only cutting that features a more citrus-centric flavor profile, accented by notes of nutmeg and vanilla.
Plant characteristics
The Grand Daddy Purp Genetics selection of Snowcap grows into a bushy plant with multiple branches and a loose nodal structure. The mature flowers are dense and heavily coated in resin, appearing as if they have been dragged through fresh powder.
