Mont Blanc by T.H. Seeds

Named for the highest peak in the Alps, and frosted to match.

T.H. Seeds built it from a selection out of their own limited regular release of French Cookies x Birthday Cake x Strawbanana Cream. The name comes from the resin: by late flower the buds wear a white crust the breeders compare to the mountain's permanent snow. It first appeared as a limited run of 710 packs, and breeder tests have come in at 28 to 29% THC.

Flavour is pure patisserie, all creamy vanilla custard, a little butter and a dense slice of fruit cake, over the sticky, distinctive nose of its Cookies and Birthday Cake parents.

The breeder describes a deep high in head and body that opens with a burst of energy, the kind that makes you want to get outdoors, before settling into calm. Their notes also mention a gradual easing of aches as it wears on, which makes it a daytime choice for people with plans.

This is a tall, vigorous sativa-leaning hybrid with sturdy branches, well-spaced internodes and few leaves around large, dense buds. The breeder calls it easy to grow and happy to be topped, and notes that an early switch to 12/12 keeps height down; untamed it reaches 140 to 180 cm. Flowering runs 9 to 10 weeks for 500 to 650 g per square metre, and the resin makes it a natural for ice water hash and rosin.

T.H. Seeds started life in 1993 as the C.I.A., or Cannabis In Amsterdam, and is best known for S.A.G.E. and MK-Ultra.
