Indica cultivars
Snowday is an indica-dominant strain developed by Moab Genetix, created to evoke the serene tranquility of snowy landscapes combined with the potency of classic indicas. It has gained recognition for its balanced profile, appealing to those seeking both sensory enjoyment and therapeutic benefits.
Appearance
Snowday buds are visually striking, characterized by a dense structure and a frosty, snow-like coating of trichomes, which inspired its name. The nugs are typically medium to large and feature a rich tapestry of deep greens, occasional purple hues, and bright orange pistils. This high resin production contributes to a sparkling appearance, often correlating with significant cannabinoid concentration.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Snowday is a complex bouquet featuring earthy pine and subtle skunky spice notes, underpinned by a delicate sweetness. Upon consumption, the flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering a robust, earthy base complemented by citrus and pine undertones, with a lingering sweet finish. This multi-layered sensory experience is a hallmark of its well-developed terpene profile.
Specific sensory tests have rated its aroma highly, and laboratory analyses have identified compounds like Linalool and Myrcene contributing to its calming scent. The complex aroma is indicative of robust terpene production, enhancing both the olfactory and gustatory experience.
Effects
Snowday is primarily known for delivering calming and focused effects, making it a popular choice for unwinding after a demanding day. While predominantly indica, users report a balanced experience that promotes relaxation without excessive sedation. Approximately 78% of users have noted its effectiveness in aiding relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Snowday's genetic makeup consistently yields THC levels between 17-21%, with CBD content below 1%. Its terpene profile includes Myrcene, Linalool, Pinene, and Terpinolene, which contribute to its distinct aroma, flavor, and effects.

Developed by Moab Genetix, Snowday is rooted in classic indica genetics, with approximately 85% of its lineage derived from deeply sedative indica strains dating back to the 1980s. It was bred using careful selection and cross-breeding techniques, combining heritage indica cultivars with modern traits to achieve a robust and versatile strain.
Growing
Snowday is noted for its robust genetic markers and consistent crop yields, which have historically improved by up to 20% after initial harvests. Its dense bud structure and high resin production are indicators of quality cultivation. While specific growing difficulty, flowering times, and precise yields are not detailed, its consistent appearance across environments suggests adaptability.
