How to grow Russian Snow
THC 18% 
Flowering 63 days 
Yield 350 g/m² 
Height 80cm Seb's take
AK-49 crossed with White Widow, and the offspring outdoes both parents by the breeder's own account. Narcotic and resinous, her flowers frost over white enough to earn the name honestly by harvest. Shorter than her parents but no less generous a yielder, at 18% THC, and straightforward to grow indoors or out.
Where it comes from
AK-49 crossed with White Widow, and by Vision Seeds' own account the offspring outdoes both parents, a bold claim, but AK-49's productivity and White Widow's legendary resin make for promising raw material. The White Widow half is where the frost comes from, the AK side where much of the yield and vigour originate. The name follows the flower: by harvest she is dressed white enough to earn it honestly. A tidy pairing of two dependable names.
Nose & flavour
The record keeps its own counsel on the finer notes, so I will not invent a nose it declines to name. What can be said is that the flowers are resinous to the point of frosting over white, the White Widow inheritance showing plainly, and that quantity of trichome rarely comes without a scent to match. Take the jar as you find it.
The high
The record describes the flowers as narcotic, which points to a heavy, sedating sort of settle rather than a bright one, in keeping with a 90% indica constitution. At 18% THC it is potent without being extreme, the kind that draws you gently towards the armchair. I will not embellish past what is on the page: an indica's quiet, weighty company.
Growing it
Straightforward, indoors or out. She finishes in around 63 days, nine weeks from planting, and stays shorter than her parents at 80 to 120cm, yet yields a generous 350 g/m² for the size. The breeder recommends indoors, where her habit of setting fewer leaves and more flower shows to best advantage, every bud frosting over like snow. At 18% THC, an easy, handsome grow that asks little.
