Brrr – do you feel that chill? No, winter isn’t coming early this year. It’s Jack Frost, one of the most sought-after top-shelf strains around. This gorgeous, fairly balanced hybrid strain is high in THC, and promises to sweep you off your feet and throw you into a euphoric wonderland as beautiful as the fresh snow.
What is Jack Frost?
The Jack Frost cannabis strain should not be confused with Apple Jack strain, it is a fairly balanced sativa/indica hybrid with a solid THC content at about 22%. While it’s often 50/50, sometimes you will get more of a 60% sativa profile. Overall, experience a strong euphoric high that increases your creativity and reduces your pain, which can last for up to three hours. The child of the White Widow and Northern Lights #5 strains, it will give you a smooth, gradual effect that is strong enough to help you sleep.
The development of this strain was focused on creating a more potent alternative to the Jack Herer, Northern Lights #5 and White Widow strains, with a more desirable flavor and aroma. While developing this strain, Goldenseed also came up with another classic: the Rainbow Kashmiri strain.
The standard, non-descript appearance adds to the genuine surprise of the effect. This mid-sized, fluffy green nug delivers a truly uplifting and happy buzz.

There’s a degree of skunkiness to it, but it’s offset by the clean smoothness of the sweet lemony citrus flavors.
