Ice Cream Haze is a vigorous and potent Haze cannabis strain with
an extremely high THC percentage of between 18-22% on average (with
peaks of up to 25%) and a very generous yield.
This
Sativa-dominant hybrid has long, thick and sticky blooms. Her strong,
penetrating terpene profile is unique and loved by all those who adore a
strong fruity Haze smell/taste.
Ice Cream Haze
is easy to grow and has an average flowering time of approximately 8-10
weeks. She is a great all-rounder and does well in almost all types of
grow systems/conditions.
The harvest potential
of this strain belongs firmly in the XXL category, which means that
extremely high yields can be achieved when grown well. The long-lasting
high of Ice Cream Haze has a hybrid effect (both mental and physical),
which is energetic, euphoric and uplifting thanks to the strong Haze
genes.
Ice Cream Haze has a penetrating and
powerful aroma with mainly spicy, hazy notes combined with that sweet,
fruity and creamy Gelato x Wedding Cake terpene profile
Ice
Cream Haze, available in feminised seeds as well as regular cannabis
seeds has a super penetrating and intense terpene profile! This
Sativa-dominant Haze hybrid has a powerful spicy Hazy aroma with notes
of tropical fruit and smooth, thick ice cream.
Some
phenotypes smell very strongly of a spicy-yet-fruity haze. Other
phenotypes are a bit more like the Ice Cream Cake mother/father, in
which you can easily recognise the pungent terpene-rich Gelato genetics
(originally from the Cookie Family).
There are
also plants that combine both profiles and complement each other, these
are the real winners in every pack! The taste is mainly on the haze side
of the spectrum, it is spicy but also fresh and fruity at the same
time. All phenotypes produce beautiful buds with a thick layer of
trichomes.
The frosty appearance is truly
beautiful to behold. Ice Cream Haze combines an intense haze Haze
profile with the sought-after Cookie smell & taste with beautiful
bag appeal once the buds are dried. This is a 'new-school' cannabis
cultivar to love!
Ice Cream Haze is a potent
Haze-dominant Sativa variety with an XXL yield, this new American F1
hybrid has great vigour and a high THC level
Ice Cream Haze
guarantees fast-growing plants with an extremely high yield of potent
cannabis buds. In addition to a pungent and tasty terpene profile, this
hybrid cannabis seed variety also has a very high THC level.
On
average this will be somewhere between 18-20% THC, but there are also
phenotypes that rise well above 20% (up to about a maximum of 25%),
especially when grown in perfect conditions. Expect this in combination
with an XXL harvest.
Ice Cream Haze® is a
new-school USA inspired Haze hybrid, based on an old-school Haze
cultivar and the well known and sought-after American Ice Cream Cake
genetics. This F1 hybrid cross was developed years ago by breeder
Antonio, (35 cannabis cups in the last 7 years!) initially only
available as a regular strain, but due to excellent feedback, is now
also available as a feminised cross a few years later.
The
Haze mother in this crossing comes from a Crockett's Haze selection.
This is a very vigorous, fast growing Sativa plant that can provide
truly exceptional yields (750g+/m2). Ice Cream Haze is a tropical
fruit-smelling Haze variety that is very sticky and also tastes
fantastic.
The Ice Cream Cake (Gelato x Wedding
Cake) pollinators (both male and female) are truly two gems. Both are
vigorous, stable and take root quickly. In addition to a powerful
terpene profile, the mother always provides compact, easy to cut, potent
buds with a beautiful appearance.
And the
father is one with a strong aroma (especially after a good 'stem rub'),
powerful branches and a good masculine top structure with the bonus of
very frosty sugar leaves. Combining two different cultivars (one of
which is a full Sativa and the other a slightly more Indica-dominant
hybrid) creates a truly unique product. Ice Cream Haze is therefore
suitable for lovers of fast-growing plants with generous yields of
strong smelling/tasting weed.
Ice Cream Haze is
a stable and robust Sativa-dominant cannabis strain. These ladies
exhibit a vigorous growth pattern throughout their entire life cycle
(both during the vegetative phase and the cannabis flowering phase). The
plants develop strong, stiff branches and have a vigorous stretching
period during flowering.
In general, the Sativa
appearance dominates, with the large long leaves and desirable
full/long spear-like buds. By adding the Ice Cream Cake genetics, there
are also different phenotypes that embrace the hybrid characteristics
and structure a little more.
This usually means
a slightly more compact bud and a slightly faster flowering time than
the more pure Sativas/Haze-dominant plants. On average, the flowering
time is between 8-10 weeks - this is relatively fast for a Haze cannabis
strain.
Most plants stretch in an indoor grow
for approximately 2.5 - 4 weeks after changing the clock to 12/12 bloom
conditions. This makes them ideal for cultivation in both the SOG and
SCROG setup. These two cultivation methods also provide the highest
yields. The F1 hybrid vigour is clearly present in this cross.
These
are easy-to-grow plants that also do well in an outdoor grow, but keep
in mind that this strain is not suitable for growing in temperate/cold
climates due to the relatively longer flowering time. In a sunny, dry
(e.g. Mediterranean-like) climate, this strain excels and in good
conditions produces plants that can easily reach 3 meters in height and
sometimes just as wide! Yields-per-plant can then easily exceed 1 kg
(dry buds) in combination with the right care and climatic conditions.
Ice
Cream Haze buds are loaded with trichomes, super white and sticky! Ice
Cream Haze generally has a short-to-medium internode distance. The
branches fill beautifully with buds merging together to form thick,
fully loaded blooms.
The top blooms (main
colas) often grow 25-50 cm long (when grown naturally) and become heavy
enough to require support. By topping/fimming her (HST, cannabis High
Stress Training) during the growth phase (possibly several times) and by
using LST (Low Stress Training) or the SCROG technique, you can control
her height to some extent.
Ice Cream Haze has a
potent effect and a powerful long-lasting high. This high has a hybrid
effect (both mental and physical) which clearly leans a little more
towards the spiritual side. The potent head high is all-powerful and
usually delivers an energetic & euphoric effect.
The
up-high can also be a real 'creeper' where the initial effects don’t
seem too powerful initially, but increase in strength and effect as time
goes by. Due to her powerful effect, even for more experienced smokers,
the buds of the Ice Cream Haze are classified as a very-high THC 'head
stash'. If you like to smoke a strong joint or vape, you can prepare
yourself for a relaxing, dreamy high that will let you relax without
falling asleep!
This is a great strain for both
recreational and medical users who want a potent and long-lasting
effect after consuming the cannabis flowers and still want to get
something done. The high lasts for several hours and is ideal for
carrying out creative tasks as well as an evening of chilling with your
loved ones, family and friends.
Ice Cream Haze
has an average flowering time of between 8-10 weeks. However, there will
sometimes be plants that need a little longer to fully ripen.
Especially when the indoor or outdoor climate has been less than
optimal. She can withstand high temperatures quite well (30-35+°C), but
this can delay the ripening of the buds during the late flowering phase.
Preferably grow her in an optimized 21-27°C indoor climate (70F - 80F).
Outdoors,
it is recommended to only grow Ice Cream Haze in slightly sunnier,
warmer (and generally drier) climates. She is not suitable for growing
in cold/wet regions. However, she does very well in the
Mediterranean-like conditions and hilly areas.
When
grown in a sunny and warm climate, the plants of this strain can grow
into real monsters! She can tolerate quite a bit of rain, but does not
like her roots to be waterlogged. The combination of wet and cold is
very unfavourable and should therefore be avoided as much as possible.
Ice
Cream Haze seeds produce plants with an extremely high XXL yield. Her
elongated spear-like flowers can grow into long, solid blooms - around
40-50cm in the right conditions. The long buds have a short to medium
internode distance. This ensures that the flowers grow in a tightly
packed formation and therefore yields are heavy.
In
an indoor grow, Ice Cream Haze can also produce very large harvests. A
yield of approximately 600g/m2 can certainly be achieved. In the hands
of an expert, even more is possible and with the right growing method
you can even achieve around 700g/m2. Outdoors, plants grown in a warm
and sunny climate will yield on average between 0.5-1 kg per plant,
especially if they have been well pre-grown indoors before the outdoor
season has started.
Ice Cream Haze is a
Sativa-dominant Haze variety that has inherited just a little more of
the Sativa genes from her mother. Although the plants will generally
have a more Sativa appearance, a decent portion of the Indica genes have
been included in this crossing. This ensures a relatively faster
flowering time and a more compact, more hybrid bud structure for most
phenotypes.
To achieve the highest yield, grow
her indoors in a grow tent with the SOG method with e.g. 12-16 plants
per m2 with a relatively short pre-growth. Or grow her with 2-4 plants
per m2 in a SCROG setup in large air or smart pots with a long
pre-growth period.
Outside in warm, dry
climates she can grow in the open ground, but she also does very well in
large 100-500 L smart pots/root pouches. The extra oxygen in these
containers ensures good root aeration and the 'air pruning' that takes
place ensures a very healthy root system with a thick root ball.
The
flowers of Ice Cream Haze can smell incredibly strong and pungent
towards the end of the bloom phase. The aroma is usually fruity and
spicy, but can sometimes also be very creamy and sweet. The odour
development is so strong & intense towards the end of flowering that
it is recommended to take this into account.
In
an indoor cultivation it is therefore recommended to provide strong
extraction, in combination with (preferably) new carbon filters. Take
extra care to harvest, dry and cure your cannabis professionally to
bring the very best out of this strain.
