Edelweiss Strain Overview
Edelweiss is a distinguished hybrid cannabis strain named after the famous white flower that grows in the Swiss Alps. The strain derives its name from the white flower that grows in the high Swiss Alps, with the name literally meaning 'noble white' in German. The breeding team at Flying Dutchmen created this strain as a combination of Hindu Kush, Skunk #1, and a North Indian landrace. Edelweiss is primarily an indica-dominant hybrid strain with a 75:25 indica/sativa ratio. The strain can be successfully cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with moderate difficulty level requiring attention to factors such as light, humidity, temperature, and proper nutrient management. The plant is resilient and adaptable, but its high resin content makes it particularly sensitive to environmental changes. The buds are characterized by dense, compact structure with a thick layer of white trichomes giving them a frosty, sparkling appearance. The strain emits a fragrance similar to berries and roses, with floral, earthy notes complemented by hints of citrus and pine, often described as refreshing and clean like the crisp air of high-altitude regions.

Edelweiss Strain Growing Information
Indoor flowering period is typically 8 to 9 weeks, with duration varying slightly depending on environmental factors such as light intensity and nutrients. Cultivation difficulty is moderate, requiring attention to light, humidity, temperature, and proper nutrient management. The plant is resilient and adaptable, but its high resin content makes it particularly sensitive to environmental changes. Indoor yields can reach up to 450g/m², while outdoor plants can produce up to 450-500 grams per plant. Plants typically grow to 100-140 cm in height. Optimal growing conditions include temperatures of 68-80°F (20-27°C) during the day with slight nighttime drops, humidity of 50-70% during vegetative stage and 40-50% during flowering. Due to dense buds, the strain is susceptible to bud rot and mold in high humidity environments, requiring regular airflow and humidity monitoring.
