high altitude
Most cultivated varieties developed by seed companies are selected at and used at low altitudes. Low altitude varieties do not respond well at higher altitudes. We looked at all the offerings by other seed companies and could not find good high-altitude strains.
To fill the demand for alpine strains DP developed two “High Altitude” strains: Pamir Gold ® and SnowBud ®.These two strains are adapted to the higher altitudes of the Alpes, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Kaukasus and other mountainous regions in the world.
Pamir Gold® (outdoors)
High Altitude
Pamir Gold originated in the western Himalayas of Tadzjikistan. The plant was adapted to the high altitudes of the Swiss Alpes during several years of selective breeding. Once selected seeds were reproduced in the Netherlands. Pamir Gold is a mostly Indica variety (60%,40%) having a sweet earthy taste with a breath of lemon and pear. Healthy plants are 1.5 to 1.8 meters in height outdoors. Mold and mildew resistant. Yield: above average. Does also well indoors. Subtile stone/high.

| flowering period: | 7 weeks |
| harvest time outdoor: | 1st week of Oct. |
Snow Bud® (outdoors)
High Altitude
SnowBud is our second “High Altitude” variety. SnowBud is a hybrid of Afghani and South African genetics. As with Pamir Gold the selection work is done in the Swiss Alpes. SnowBud (60% Sat./ 40% Ind.) has a spicy (cinnamon), skunky smell and taste, smokes very smooth and has a medium “up high”. Healthy plants may reach 1.8 till 2.2 meters outdoors. Mold and mildew resistant. Yield: above average. Does also well indoors.The name SnowBud refers to the huge amount of white pistils in the female flowers (buds).
