Although she’s been around for a handful of years, Snow Monster is only just now getting the attention she deserves. Bred by Exotic Genetics and having received attention at the 2014 Cannabis Cup, this indica-dominant strain will put you in an awesome headspace any day of the week. Both The White and Starfighter can lay claim to this bud, so you know it has to be good.

Considered to be a middle of the road strain when it comes to potency, Snow Monster’s THC averages around 22%. As the name entails, nugs are completely covered in enough trichomes and resin to resemble a freshly coated piece of earth in a snowy winter landscape. Blending both savory and sweet, an earthy and cheesy flavor is offset by sweet citrus as you exhale.

Don’t try this strain if you have a full day ahead of you, as Snow Monster definitely leans toward her indica roots. Your high begins with an uplifting mental state that’s complete with happy thoughts and in some cases a bit of extra focus. A warming sensation will spread from head to toe, and as your mind soars your body will relax into jelly. Many describe this part of their high as feeling mildly drunk and in this state, you’ll be led to a deep sleep.

Imagine living your day with chronic pain and think about how a strain like Snow Monster could impact your outlook on life. With strong THC levels and sedating effects, medical users love this bud for temporarily getting away from their worries. Stress and depression are wiped away while any nagging feelings in your body are replaced with a feeling of heaviness that’s more than welcomed. Regular use of Snow Monster before bed could lead to improving your sleep and overall quality of living - but we can’t guarantee it.

The good stuff is always hard to find, at least when it comes to marijuana. Snow Monster does not seem to be available for purchase in seed form, and if clones are your only option, you can bet that they’re hard to come by. If you’ve been lucky enough to score one, keep in mind that both indoor and outdoor environments are suitable. Flowering takes about 7 to 9 weeks and yields are nicely sized.

The name sounds scary but in reality, the effects that this bud brings to your life are anything but. Snow Monster is great for a Friday night reward or could even suffice on a weekend afternoon when you don’t have much to do. Think of it as an early evening appetizer that blends cheese and lemon into a smokable treat, or what the heck, try it anytime to get nice and lit!
