What strain is Snow Leopard?
Snow Leopard is a hybrid from Bodhi Seeds, the US breeder known for crossing rare landrace and hashplant lines into modern hybrids. SeedFinder, Leafly and AllBud all list the same parents: Tigermelon × Snow Lotus.
Both parents are Bodhi crosses in their own right. SeedFinder lists Tigermelon as ChemD × Uzbekistani Hashplant × Apollo 11, and Snow Lotus as Afgooey × Blockhead. The Uzbekistani hashplant is the “indigenous Uzbek” line you will see mentioned on our product page, and the Chem side explains the funky, fuel-like note people pick up on the exhale.
Who breeds Snow Leopard?
Bodhi Seeds. Leafly and SeedFinder both credit Bodhi, and grow-diary sites list it as a Bodhi seed line. SeedFinder quotes a flowering time of about 9 weeks (around 63 days) from clone.
Is Snow Leopard the same as Snow Bud or Lemon Snow Leopard?
No. Snow Bud is a separate strain with its own AllBud listing, and “Lemon Snow Leopard” is a branded product from a US producer. Some seed banks also sell an autoflowering seed under the Snow Leopard name. The strain in this guide is the Bodhi Tigermelon × Snow Lotus cross.
Is Snow Leopard indica or sativa?
Snow Leopard is a hybrid, and the major databases disagree on which way it leans. Leafly classifies it as an indica, AllBud as a sativa-dominant hybrid (55% sativa, 45% indica), and Google’s AI summary currently calls it “slightly indica-dominant”. The breeder’s own notes, quoted on SeedFinder, describe a seed population of roughly 45% dense indica plants, 30% stretchier sativa plants and 15% “poly” expressions.
That spread is normal for a cross of two multi-parent hybrids: different phenotypes from the same seeds can grow and smoke differently. We list our Snow Leopard in the indica category, in line with Leafly’s classification. Our indica vs sativa vs hybrid guide explains why the label is only a rough guide.
| Source | Type | THC | Lineage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leafly | Indica | 19% | Tigermelon × Snow Lotus |
| AllBud | Sativa-dominant hybrid, 55/45 | 17% to 21% | Tigermelon × Snow Lotus |
| SeedFinder (breeder notes) | Mixed: ~45% indica, 30% sativa, 15% poly phenotypes | Not listed | Tigermelon × Snow Lotus (Bodhi Seeds) |
| Bud Cargo product page | Listed under indica | Lot not tested by us | Tigermelon × Snow Lotus (Bodhi Seeds) |
How strong is Snow Leopard?
Snow Leopard is moderately strong, with published THC of about 17% to 21%. Leafly lists 19% THC and 1% CBG; AllBud gives a 17% to 21% range. Those are typical figures for the strain, not results for the lot we stock now, and we don’t publish lab results for it. Our guide to reading THC percentages explains what the number does and doesn’t tell you.
Why is Snow Leopard called a creeper?
Because the effect builds slowly. Leafly notes that the strain is “known for its ‘creeper’ effect”, and the breeder describes “heavy duty creeper effects”. In practice, people who take a second hit too early because they feel little at first often find it stronger than expected once it fully arrives. Take one small session and wait before deciding you need more.
What does Snow Leopard taste and smell like?
Snow Leopard smells sweet and tropical up front, with a woody, earthy base and a chem funk underneath. The breeder’s description on SeedFinder lists mango, citrus and floral notes over sandalwood, oak moss and palo santo. Leafly’s top reported flavours are woody, earthy and pine, and AllBud lists berry, fruity, pine, sweet, tropical and woody.
Leafly names myrcene as the dominant terpene, which fits the earthy, musky base and the fruit notes. The cannabis terpenes guide covers myrcene and the other common terpenes.
What does Snow Leopard feel like?
Most people describe a slow-building, relaxed high. Leafly’s top reported feelings are aroused, relaxed and sleepy. AllBud reviewers describe a happy, uplifted start followed by a relaxing body feel, and list euphoria, focus and happiness. The two descriptions reflect the indica and sativa phenotypes described above.
Because of the creeper profile and the sleepy reports on Leafly, Snow Leopard is more often chosen for evenings than for busy days. This is what consumers report, not a health claim, and reactions vary with the dose and the person.
