Appearance: Jack, Jack, Jack. What a looker, you are — fuzzy greens, bright golds and yellows, reds, magentas, and purples. Jack Frost is a sight to behold and then some. Covered in a rich trichome layer, this strain’s name lives up to its billing. Big and bold, Jack Frost is the snowball you don’t see coming until it hits you in the face.
Consistency: Talk about resin production. Jack Frost is up there with some of the highest goo-producing strains. Though the nugs feel a bit dry, the typically fluffy buds are just coated in glistening trichome crystals.
Scent: Jack Frost is not particularly pungent. But on the bright side, her stench won’t tip off the neighbors quite as much as similar strains. Think fall apple-picking among the changing fall leaves or apple and fruit pies baking in the oven. Crisp, sweet, and crunchy, with just the right amount of tang, Jack Frost is an appetizing strain.
Taste: Inhale Jack Frost and taste the fresh alpine air of the mountains and evergreen forests. There is a trace of mint, sage, and other herbs upon exhale, with some of the apple smell manifesting itself in the smoke flavor. Not too overpowering, but a bit above subtle, Jack Frost is the strain Goldilocks would’ve chosen by taste test — it’s “just right.”
Effect: Great for pain relief without the couch-locking crash. Take a puff of Jack Frost to get your heart rate going and your blood pumping before you go on a brisk autumn walk. Good for a nice head high that’s energizing, even motivational, Jack Frost will get your creative juices flowing and bring that much-needed smile to your face.
Strain Background: Jack Frost is a true connoisseur’s strain and one that’s been bred and crossed to develop a high potency flower, pretty phenotype, and alluring aroma. The inclusion of Rainbow Kashmiri, a relatively rare strain, makes Jack Frost a flower to remember. Originally cultivated by the U.K.’s Goldenseed, Jack Frost’s genetics spent more than five years in the company’s lab undergoing development.
Medical Uses: Sparking appetites and crushing fatigue this holiday season, Jack Frost’s compounds are also noteworthy for their ability to eliminate those potentially stressful situations which seem to linger on the peripheral of any holiday celebration.
