Jack Frost Cannabis Strain

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.

What is a strain?

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.
