Himalaya Snow is a regular sativa-dominant hybrid created from two Nepalese projects, blending wild Nepalese sativas with a touch of Kali Mist. Expect roughly nine parts sativa to one part indica. The plants can show two phenotypes: a tall, airy Nepalese type with thin leaves and sparse, resin-rich flowers, and a sturdier hybrid type with wider leaves and denser buds. Both carry generous trichomes, including on the leaves near the flowers, echoing traditional charas plants. The aroma is sweet and fruity, with creamy and bittersweet notes and a hint of Haze, finishing with a charas-like incense character when burned. Reported THC sits around 14.7%, with very little CBD and a noticeable amount of CBG. Indoors it flowers in roughly 10 to 12 weeks, while outdoors it is best suited to mild climates, finishing around late October or early November. The strain is noted for good resistance to cold, rain and mould, and is recommended for subtropical, Mediterranean and mountainous regions up to 45 degrees latitude.
