More About the Permafrost Strain
Permafrost, sometimes called Blue Permafrost, is a sativa-dominant hybrid cultivar known for its icy resin coverage and crisp, pine-forward aroma. Bred by Rogue Buds, this cultivar gets its name from the heavy layer of crystal trichomes that gives the buds a frosted, almost snow-dusted look.
Its genetic background is often debated. Some trace Permafrost back to Trainwreck and White Widow, others point to Kali Mist crossed with Trinity Snow. No matter which story you buy into, the result is a cultivar that balances mental stimulation with a grounded, full-body calm.
The experience tends to build gradually. Early effects feel clear and focused, with heightened awareness and sensory sharpness. As intensity increases, that clarity settles into a relaxed, steady body feel that keeps things smooth rather than overwhelming. This balance is a big part of why Permafrost has stayed popular with growers and consumers who want something alert yet composed.
Aromatically, Permafrost leans fresh and outdoorsy. Pine and forest notes dominate, backed by a clean, slightly sweet finish. Visually loud and consistent in its expression, Permafrost stands out as a resin-heavy cultivar with a cool, composed personality that lives up to its name.
Prominent Terpenes in Permafrost
Permafrost is usually described through a crisp pine note up front, backed by citrus brightness and a deeper, earthy base. Across strain guides and lab listings for Permafrost-branded products, the terpenes that show up most often are pinene, limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene, with linalool appearing in smaller amounts in some batches.

My Permafrost plants smell incredible in flower.
Was hesitant to order online but a friend referred me to Pacific Seed Bank. Every single one popped. The Permafrost plants are thriving and I’ve had zero issues with hermaphrodites. Wish I had found this site sooner.
Topped once, eight massive colas on Permafrost.
Packaged perfectly. Arrived undamaged.
What I love most about growing Permafrost from Pacific Seed Bank is the consistency. This is my second run with these genetics and every time I get vigorous plants with tight node spacing and light green and dense buds at harvest. This cycle I noticed true leaves pushing fast earlier than expected, which tells me the seeds were properly stored and genuinely fresh. The resistance to mildew has been remarkable. The dry yield from my outdoor plants came in at right around up to 400g/plant per plant. I’ve already placed my reorder.
Growing Permafrost outdoors in tropical Florida has been an incredible experience. The seeds from Pacific Seed Bank germinated at a 9/10 rate using the shot glass method. I transplanted into raised bed soil amended with compost enriched with compost and perlite, and the plants were off to the races. By mid-veg they showed true leaves pushing fast and attracted comments from every gardener who visited. The flowers developed covered in orange hairs buds and the trichome coverage was dripping with resin by harvest. I ended up with right around up to 400g/plant per plant — right in line with the up to 400g/plant outdoor yield listed on the product page. Pacific Seed Bank is my go-to from here on.
Photoperiod as advertised — perfectly on schedule.
Called customer service to ask about shipping timelines and they were knowledgeable. Walked me through the germination process step by step. I had 100% germination. The Permafrost plants are now thriving in my greenhouse setup.
Customer service resolved my issue quickly.
