Super Snow Dog

No, it’s not a sequel to the 2002 Cuba Gooding Jr. comedy Snow Dogs — Super Snow Dog is a sativa-dominant hybrid. This strain is a combination of Super Skunk and the notorious Chemdawg and offers users buzzy, head-focused effects. It also comes with a surprisingly fruity flavor profile. Super Snow Dog’s THC content has been measured at between 13% and 21%.

Super Snow Dog distinguishes itself with large and well-formed flowers. These bud range in shape from chunky and globular to elongated and almost cylindrical. Their internal structure hews more indica, with small, wide leaves that coil tightly inward toward their central stems. These leaves themselves are a mossy green, with some phenotypes even boasting patches of lavender. Bright orange pistils and dewy, snowy trichomes make these eye-catching buds even more colorful.

When properly cured, Super Snow Dog carries a bold citrus aroma with distinct notes of lemon. A closer inspection may also pick up on some nutty, toasted scents, reminiscent of coffee. Grinding up or breaking apart these flowers, meanwhile, can yield more of an herbal, floral tang. When it is burnt, Super Snow Dog gives off a smooth, easily palatable smoke. This smoke tastes lemony and earthy on the exhale.

Like others sativa-leaning strains, Super Snow Dogs reveals its potent effects fairly quickly. Possibly before consumers have even had a chance to exhale its fragrant smoke, the strain can hit them with a headrush. This sudden buzz can come with side effects like a throbbing around the temples or some flushing in the cheeks. Within minutes, these strange sensations die down, leaving smokers rocketed into an elevated headspace. Ideas may jump from one to another in a kind of freewheeling word associations. Similarly, otherwise mundane concepts (or even objects) can seem to take on a new intensity. All this cerebral energy can facilitate productivity for those working on detailed, analytical tasks. It may also provoke creative inspiration for open-ended personal projects or brainstorming sessions. If smokers aren’t feeling as motivated, Super Snow Dog’s constant head buzz can add a little spice to an otherwise boring agenda of errands or household chores.

Even as Super Snow Dog’s high persists, smokers are not weighed down with physical effects. Although some consumers experience a weighty feeling in the limbs and core, this body high is often more stimulating and can help consumers feel more in touch with their bodies — this frame of mind can serve to enhance physical activities like exercise or (given the right set, setting, and company) sex. Super Snow Dog’s upbeat properties and thoughtfulness can also find some fulfillment in party settings, where it can serve as an icebreaker or social lubricant. Because of its mostly energetic vibes, this strain is recommended for use during the day.

Although it’s a valuable recreational strain, Super Snow Dog’s long-lasting stimulation can be as useful for medical cannabis patients. Its cerebral character can enable concentration on one task at a time for those with attention deficit disorders. Its soothing mood may also temporarily improve the symptoms of stress and depression. Physical benefits include some anti-inflammatory properties that may soothe everyday discomforts like headaches or cramps. Super Snow Dog’s tendency to bring about the munchies can also serve as a potent appetite stimulant for those dealing with diminished hunger. Because its strong mental stimulation can take a wrong turn into paranoia in the wrong circumstances, this potent strain is not recommended for patients who are prone to panic or who have a low THC tolerance.

Unfortunately for home growers, seeds of Super Snow Dog are not available for sale online. Instead, those looking to cultivate the strain must obtain clippings, which can be propagated as genetically identical “clones.” These can be grown indoors or out, with outdoor success hinging on a humid climate with temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Plants grow short and bushy, with strong lateral branches and may call for occasional pruning. Super Snow Dog flowers within 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors.

With serious bag appeal and a potent high to match, Super Snow Dog is a must-try for sativa fans. Its unique, dynamic aroma may also be of interest to terpene fans.
