Snow Cone is one name covering at least two unrelated plants. The best-documented version is 707 Seedbank's regular-seed line: Snowman S1 crossed to a 707 Chemdawg 4 IBL male, built for heavy trichome coverage and purple color. Sweet marshmallow over skunky, soapy lemon fuel is what the breeder actually claims. Before anything else, work out whose Snow Cone you are holding.
Where It Comes From
707 Seedbank, run by the breeder known as Sha, works out of California's 707 and is best known for holding and working Chemdawg lines. Snow Cone sits in that catalog as regular seeds only, never feminized, with a flowering window of roughly eight to ten weeks indoors and a mid-to-late October harvest outdoors.
The name collision is the part most menus get wrong. Silver Stem, a Colorado retailer, sells a Snowcone described as a slightly sativa-dominant selection out of a Snowcap phenotype, with ocimene and terpinolene up front and myrcene behind them. That is a different plant with a different profile and a different reported effect. Other producers attach the name to further unrelated cultivars.
When a jar says Snow Cone and nothing else, you do not yet know what you have. That is not a small problem — it is the single most useful thing to know about this name.
The Cross
For the 707 line the genetics are published by the breeder: Snowman S1 crossed to 707 Chemdawg 4 IBL. Snowman is a Cookies-adjacent selection named for its frost, and pairing it with an inbred Chemdawg male is a deliberate move — dessert sweetness on one side, sharp fuel on the other, with the male chosen to hold that fuel steady across a whole population.
707's own copy is specific and unusually useful: sweet marshmallow with skunky, soapy lemon fuel underneath. That soapy-lemon note is the tell, and it is not a flaw. It is what a Chemdawg male tends to push through a Cookies-derived mother. The breeder claims large, trichome-heavy flowers with saturated purple hues, though purple depends on genetics plus late-flower temperature, so a green batch is not automatically off-type.
Silver Stem's version has no published lineage beyond the Snowcap phenotype claim, so treat the two as separate records entirely. Reported experience for the 707 line skews energetic and social, a quick cerebral lift settling into mild body ease, while other Snow Cones get described as calmer. That is exactly what you would expect from different plants sharing a name, and it is another reason the brand matters more than the word.
What It Left Behind
Snow Cone has no contest record. Its significance is narrower and more real than a trophy: it is part of 707 Seedbank's Chemdawg preservation work, which is why the line ships as regular seed rather than feminized. Breeders buy it to hunt males, not to fill a shelf. That is a different business than selling flower, and it is the reason this cross exists at all.
The High Rise Take
Ask whose Snow Cone it is before anything else. If it is 707's, expect marshmallow and fuel out of a Snowman by Chemdawg cross, on frosty, often-purple flower. If it is not, the name on the jar tells you nothing at all.
