Ice Cream is endowed with a skunky flavour from the good old days and a strong dash of vanilla. The extra-strong indica label of this Ferrari among plants testifies to turbo-strength growth and rapid trichome formation.
The Ferrari... Don't let the name "Ice Cream" mislead you. Because this exotic plant is more likely to lick you up if you're not careful, due to its sheer potency. The name comes from its finely rounded flavour, which has made Ice Cream popular with cannabis growers and indica fans all over the world.
But why the Ferrari comparison? Because once this plant gets going, it takes off like a red racing car, fast and furious. What a fast ride! When this highly specialised Variety emerged, it became an instant hit and also won over the taste buds of the judges at the High Life Cup, who included it in their top 3 three years in a row.
Ice Cream cannabis seeds develop into 60:40 hybrid plants that are characterised by fast growth, plenty of vigour and a distinctive exotic flavour. The genetic mix includes White Widow, Bubble Gum and an old-school Californian Skunk; exquisite genetics from three continents were selected to ensure potency, stability and flavour in this Variety.
The growth of Ice Cream
Indoor: Growing this beauty took some time. The result is a plant that is perfectly suited to indoor cultivation thanks to its fast, healthy growth (with a flowering time of 8 - 9 weeks) and low tendency to stretch.
Outdoor: Ice Cream may not prove to be a particularly high yielder here, but is nevertheless popular with growers who are after its indica strength.
It even performs satisfactorily in more northern regions of the world. However, it feels most at home in the south - where plenty of sunshine elicits optimum performance from its resinous buds.
The Ice Cream plant has copious amounts of trichomes under the cap, which are very densely packed, their glandular heads are arranged in tight rows like regiments and glisten in a resinous glow.
This appearance contributed to the name of this Variety (as well as its vanilla flavour), and all those trichomes lead to incredibly oily buds that are also dense and fat. This Variety produces three phenotypes.
Ice Cream cannabis seeds are suitable for outdoor cultivation between 50º n. B. and 50º s. B. and are ready for harvest outdoors (N. B.) at the beginning of October and indoors within 8 - 9 weeks.
The yield indoors is approx. 500 grams/m², outdoors up to 700 grams/plant and more.
The effect of Ice Cream
Pleasure orientated: The hybrid nature of this plant provides pure strong physical indica relaxation without overpowering. The sativa element in turn leads to a clearly noticeable effect in the form of a positive Zen-like focussedness.
Medicinal: Ice Cream cannabis seeds have good medicinal qualities that are highly valued by medical growers. The well-balanced relaxing effect, without the wobbly head sensation, is something that medical users with ailments such as chronic pain will greatly appreciate.
The smell and flavour of Ice Cream
In the grow room, the scent of vanilla is very present, accompanied by a skunky note. On the taste buds, Ice Cream makes itself felt with an exotic flavour of creamy vanilla, skunk and a pinch of pine.
The unique aromatic notes of this Variety make it an excellent choice for cannasseurs.
