Frosty Frappe by Exotic Genetix
Unknown
Frosty Frappe is a modern hybrid cannabis cultivar developed by Exotic Genetix, known for its dessert-leaning terpene profiles and highly resinous flowers. This strain is recognized for its exceptionally frosty trichome coat and a confectionary flavor profile that evokes sweet cream and iced coffee notes.
Appearance
True to its name, Frosty Frappe typically exhibits a thick coating of trichomes, giving the buds a frosted appearance. The flowers are generally medium to large with a conical or slightly spear-shaped structure, often tightening after a proper dry and cure. Bud coloration can vary, featuring forest greens with orange or copper pistils, and potentially purple undertones in cooler temperatures. The density is usually above average, with a glassy sheen from intact trichome heads and a supple texture when properly cured.
Aroma and Flavor
Frosty Frappe is widely appreciated for its confectionary aroma and flavor profile. Consumers often report notes of sweet cream, light mocha, and vanilla, reminiscent of a café frappé. Initial aromas may include creamy, caramelized sugar, followed by hints of cocoa nibs and roasted nuts. The flavor often mirrors the aroma, presenting a sweet, creamy, and dessert-like experience.
Effects
As an indica/sativa hybrid, Frosty Frappe is designed to offer a balance between uplifting and relaxing effects, rather than inducing heavy couchlock. It is often described as providing a functional high suitable for day-to-evening consumption. The balanced nature of its effects makes it a popular choice for those seeking both sensory enjoyment and moderate physical and mental effects.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Frosty Frappe generally tests within the modern high-THC category, with THC levels typically ranging from 19-22%, though some phenotypes may test higher. CBD content is usually less than 1%. Key terpenes often identified include Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Humulene, contributing to its complex aroma and flavor profile. Total terpene content in well-grown batches can range from 1.5-3.0%.
Growing Information
Frosty Frappe is known for consistent vigor and a structure conducive to canopy management, making it amenable to topping and standard training methods. Growers often report predictable structure and good resin production, appealing to both commercial and connoisseur growers. Its heavy glandular coverage is particularly noted for its suitability for solventless extraction methods like rosin.
