Snowman Strain — THCA Profile, Effects, and Where to Buy
Snowman is the Berner-bred white-frost phenotype of GSC (OG Kush × Durban Poison) named for the dense crystalline coat that draped its early Cookies-cut buds. Mother of Cereal Milk. Premium THCA hemp cuts test 22-28%.
Lineage and origin
Snowman is a phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies — same OG Kush × Durban Poison parents — selected by Cookies founder Berner for the densest white trichome coat in the line. The cut became foundational: Snowman is the mother of Cereal Milk and a parent of Gary Payton (when crossed with The Y) and a wave of modern boutique drops.
Terpene profile and aroma
Limonene leads, with caryophyllene and humulene rounding out the load. The flavor leans into vanilla cream and sweet cookie over an earthy pine spine — limonene-forward and a hint sharper than its GSC mother. Effects skew clearer-headed than typical GSC.
Effects in plain English
Hybrid. Effects open euphoric and clear-headed, hold a creative-talkative middle for hours, and ease into a soft body warmth without sedating. THCAmap scoring:
- Euphoria 8/10
- Creative 7/10
- Relax 7/10
- Focus 6/10
- Energy 5/10
- Sleep 4/10 — does not push to bed
Suits afternoons and evenings — one of the more functional GSC phenos.
THCA percentage range
Premium Snowman hemp cuts test 22-28% THCA — about 19-24% delta-9 THC equivalent after decarboxylation. Verify on the COA.
