Origins, Genetics, History

Snowcap is a 50 % Indica and 50 % Sativa weed hybrid with THC levels that come up to 25 %. Its origins are somewhat obscure. It is believed to have developed in California as the child of Humbolt Snow and some strain of Haze. This gives it a slight Sativa leaning and a clean, energizing high.

Appearance and Smell

Snowcap plants are tall trees, growing in excess of six feet tall. The bud is a bright green color with deep orange pistils studded throughout. The nuggets may be coated in white trichomes which are sticky to the touch and hold a bounty of THC. The fragrance is deep and dank. It has been described as pine and menthol. It will make your breath feel fresh and your mind clears and energized.

How to Grow Snowcap Cannabis Seeds or Cuttings

Growing weed from Snowcap cannabis seeds or cuttings is said to be easy but the plant can be susceptible to mildew. Therefore, keep the air crisp and dry. Indoors, you can set your plants up in a grow tent. The tent should have around it reflective lining that catches the light and shines them back on your leaves. This allows for maximum photosynthesis which drives the production of the cannabinoids and terpenes which are so valuable. Put your plants in 5-gallon buckets with rich organic soil. You can use a fertilizer like Flower Power or your own mix of nutrients. Use a fan and an exhaust system to keep your air clean, crisp, and moving. Keep your soil moist but don’t allow it to get soggy. As week 7 approaches, you can change your lighting schedule to 12 hours of dark and 12 hours of light. This will cause your photoperiodic strain to sprout buds. Harvest your buds in bundles and hang them to dry and cure. Then clip off your nuggets and store them in darkened mason jars in a cool dry place. To give them even greater longevity, you can store them in a Cannador with CVault technology. Expect to take away 12 ounces per square meter.

Outside, you want to put your plants in rich, organic soil in an area that gets a lot of sunlight just like on the California coast. Keep your soil moist and be watchful that your plants do not develop mildew.

Powdery mildew: susceptible

Powdery mildew is a fungus that can infest the leaves and stems of your cannabis plant. It can strangle your leaves and cause them to fall off, destroying the powerhouse of your plant. It is also a potent allergen and toxic for your lungs. It will appear as powdery white dots on your plants. To avoid powdery mildew, you have to keep the air crisp. Watering at night can cause high humidity because the water does not have a chance to evaporate. Lack of pruning can create soggy areas on your plant where mildew can collect.

If you find powdery mildew, you need to trim the affected leaves. Some mild cases can be treated by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with a gallon of water and spraying on your leaves. You can also try spraying your leaves with a mixture of 3 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a gallon of water. Spray once the first day, twice the next day. Give it a day, repeat if necessary.

Another solution is to use one teaspoon off hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water. If you’re ready to spend some money, try Neem Oil, Green Fungicide Cure, or UV light to clean the powdery mildew off of your plants.

Medicinal Marijuana Review

Snowcap is a 50 percent Indica and 50 percent Sativa, relaxing herb with as much as 24 % THC. This makes it a stimulating weed. Snowcap is a good choice for lack of energy and low moods, such as in depression and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Both depression and chronic fatigue have been associated with inflammation in the nervous system. Antidepressants have been shown to quell this inflammation. Marijuana has potent anti-inflammatory properties. It can help modulate the nervous system and the immune system. Snowcap can have as much as 3 % CBD as well, which makes it an especially apt product for these indications. The anti-inflammatory effect can last considerably longer than the high, so it can work to improve your mood and energy even after the high wears off. It can also treat chronic pain which can be present in both depression and chronic fatigue syndrome. Symptoms like nausea and lack of appetite will also give way to this weed.

Effects

Snowcap is a cerebral, stimulating smoke. It will spark your creativity and has potent antidepressant properties. It is a good smoke for a chilled out rap section to come up with new, creative ideas. You and your friends will find yourselves more talkative than usual and bonding on a deeper level.
