Unfortunately, cultivating this plant may prove to be difficult as it is clone-only. For most people, obtaining a clipping is impossible. Still, if one can get ahold of a cut, then planting it indoors and outdoors should be a rewarding exercise. That is not to say that it is easy, though. In fact, it tends to need a lot of attention as it is susceptible to powdery molds.
For most cannabis growers, the preferred environment is right inside the house. As is the usual practice, especially when placed in a tent, topping and regular trimming of its leaves is a must. It has a long flowering period of 10 to 12 weeks. Still, when harvest time comes, the reward comes in the form of some 350 grams of fresh buds per square meter.
In an open outdoor environment, Snowcap is likely to grow tall. In other words, there is a possibility that people on the street can see it if that is a concern. At any rate, it thrives in a warm climate and should be ready for harvest in November. Each plant can produce around 450 grams of buds.
