As the winter season returns, so do the tales of the infamous, icy Jack Frost, that this calming hybrid strain by Goldenseed is named after. The genetic background of this California Sativa-dominant breed is a combination of White Widow, Northern Lights, and Jack Herer.
Most cannabis strains are considered a pure or hybrid genetic variation of the plant Genus Cannabis. There are three main species: Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis.
Ruderalis is not as popularly known as the others; however, it is a derivative of cannabis with the lowest THC levels.
Although they are popular among the cannabis community, hybrids are not considered a species as they are made of Sativa and Indica, with typically one or the other dominating the gene pool.
For marketing and medical marijuana purposes, cultivators will develop a cannabis strain to highlight specific desired characteristics, such as:
Color
Density
Flavor profile
Aroma
Medicinal benefits
Psychoactive effects
Cannabinoid percentages
THC vs. CBD content
Those within the cannabis community report nearly eight hundred unique weed strains worldwide, but that number has increased steadily.
It's important to remember that they all originated from landrace strains imported at some point in history.
Different strains are created yearly as botanists experiment with crossing classic marijuana strains with hybrids to change their genetic qualities.

The Jack Frost marijuana strain has a flowering period of nine to ten weeks and is ready to harvest around early October when grown outdoors.
Sativa cannabis seeds do well in warmer regions of the Earth and can thrive with high humidity levels. The typical locations where Sativa strains are grown are Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia. Sativa is tall and slender with thin, light green leaves.
Many people report that smoking Sativa makes them feel energized, creative and focused. These psychological effects make Sativa strains best for daytime use because using them at night may cause insomnia due to the higher THC levels.
Easing depression symptoms
Headache and Pain relief
Decreasing Nausea
Fighting appetite loss
Better Focus
Head High over Body High
Cannabis Indica is commonly found growing in the dryer climates of the Middle East. They are short and bushy with large, dark green leaves. The buds tend to be much denser in Indica versus Sativa. Many popular Indica strains have higher CBD content than Sativa.
Most Indica weed contains an almost even amount of CBD and THC levels. Since Pure Indica strains tend to be relaxing, they're best for nighttime use due to the intense body high.
Relieving intense body and muscle pain
Reducing nausea and increasing appetite

Selecting the right cannabis strain depends on individual preferences and desired effects. Consider the following factors when choosing a strain:
Cannabis affects everyone differently, so it's important to consume responsibly and start with a low dose, gradually increasing as needed to find your ideal experience. Be mindful of the method of consumption (e.g., smoking, vaping, edibles) as it can impact the onset and duration of effects.
