Snow Cone

# Snow Cone ## Quick Take 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. Colorado's Silver Stem sells a completely separate Snowcone. Sweet marshmallow over skunk and lemon fuel is the profile the breeder actually claims. ## History and Background 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 stated flowering window of roughly eight to ten weeks indoors and a mid-to-late October outdoor harvest. The name collision is the part most menus get wrong. Silver Stem, a Colorado retailer, describes its Snowcone as a slightly sativa-dominant selection out of a Snowcap phenotype, with ocimene and terpinolene as its listed dominant terpenes and myrcene third. That is a different plant with a different aroma and a different reported effect profile. Other producers attach the name to further unrelated cultivars. When a jar says Snow Cone and nothing else, you do not yet know which one you have. ## Breeder, Brand, and Genetics For the 707 line, the genetics are documented by the breeder: Snowman S1 crossed to 707 Chemdawg 4 IBL. Snowman's own background is less settled, and the disagreement is worth naming. It is widely credited to Berner and the Cookies Fam, and commonly described as the old Florida OG cut crossed to a Thin Mint Cookies cut; other accounts credit the now-defunct Emerald Family Farm with the original. Either way it is a Cookies-adjacent selection named for its frost. Pairing that with an inbred Chemdawg male is a deliberate move: dessert sweetness on one side, sharp fuel on the other. Silver Stem's version has no published breeder lineage beyond the Snowcap phenotype claim. Treat the two as separate records. ## Aroma, Flavor, and Flower 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. Visually the breeder claims large, trichome-heavy flowers with saturated purple hues. Purple expression depends on genetics plus late-flower temperature, so a green batch is not automatically off-type. ## Reported Effects and Best Fit Consumer reports skew energetic and social for the 707 version, often described as a quick cerebral lift settling into mild body ease. Reports on other Snow Cones run calmer or sleepier, which is what you would expect from genuinely different plants sharing a name. Leafly's aggregate places Snow Cone below average on THC, while retail listings for various Snow Cones range widely. That spread is another symptom of the naming problem, not a property of one cultivar. ## Awards, Press, and Cultural Footprint Its documented significance is narrower and real: it is part of 707 Seedbank's Chemdawg preservation work, which is why the line is sold as regular seed rather than feminized. Breeders buy it to hunt males, not to fill a shelf. ## Final Take Ask whose Snow Cone it is before anything else. If it is 707's, expect marshmallow-and-fuel from a Snowman by Chemdawg cross; if it is not, the name tells you nothing.
