Dutch Passion
SnowStorm is a potent indica-ruderalis hybrid in the Dutch
Passion “autofem” family. This autoflowering, feminized variety
was the culmination of a two-year breeding project,
successfully partnering a special ruderalis strain with Afghani
Masterkush indica. The Masterkush parent is originally from
the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan, and SnowStorm has
harnessed its power into a fully automatic strain that
progresses from start to finish in only 9–10 weeks. Named for
its sticky, resinous, snow-dusted appearance at maturity,
SnowStorm may just give you that special giddy Christmasmorning anticipation as it reaches harvest time.
This variety is a strong and sturdy, low-maintenance plant
that new or hobby growers will find quite manageable. Because
it is feminized, no gender selection is necessary, and the
autoflowering characteristic removes the need for maintaining
strict light cycle phases during growth. These qualities make
SnowStorm a highly adaptable choice suitable for many
circumstances. Plants can be grown indoors, where they thrive
under a 20-hour on/4-hour off light cycle. Outdoors, this strain
only needs two months of summer weather to grow from seed
to maturity. Seeds grow for 2 weeks, and then automatically
switch to flowering, maturing after 7 additional weeks.
SnowStorm looks rather like a traditionally shaped Christmas
tree plant, finishing at an average height of 20 inches (50cm).
The leaves are of indica heritage with broad fingered leaflets.
SnowStorm’s buds have a semi-compact structure and exude a
sticky frosting of resin that resembles a brush of winter snow.
Given their modest size, these plants deliver impressive yields
with a 1-ounce (25g) average and a 2-ounce (50g) maximum
yield of high-quality marijuana per plant.
SnowStorm has a smooth yet sweet aroma with hints of citrus
and fruit. The smoke is earthy and rich. This variety’s sticky
coating contributes to its potent stone, which induces a
pleasant and relaxed contentedness. The indica characteristic
of the high does not motivate vigorous activity, but if relaxed
receptiveness is the desired mood, SnowStorm can certainly
elevate the appreciation of music, art, food, and the
companionship of friends.
