Growing Review
Originally, the seeds of this plant were designed for indoor growing. This strain thrives in an open environment, but don’t expect the yield to be much bigger if you choose to grow it outdoors. In fact, since temperature and humidity are crucial for its growth, it’s best to grow this plant indoors with hydroponics and the Sea of Green technique.
Speaking of temperature, this plant thrives in dry and warm environments and has relatively short branches and leaves. Even so, it makes for easy growth because it’s highly resistant and responds well to high-stress techniques like topping.
Cultivators grade the seeds of this weed as A+. Ice Cream cannabis is also known as the Ferrari of strains because it will grow and flower rather fast. The period of growth is 8 to 9 weeks.

Ice Cream Strain Cannabinoids
| THC | 17.5 - 20% | Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is a major cannabis chemical compound. It is a psychoactive element that stimulates dopamine release and induces euphoria or happiness. THC-rich strains may be helpful with such conditions as lack of appetite, chronic pains , etc. It is considered to be the primary active marijuana component. |
| CBD | 0.22 - 0.56% | Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a major compound in cannabis, which is non-psychoactive. It is also proved to counteract the side effects of the second major component THC. CBD is widely used for medicinal purposes in rubs, oils and so on. It is helpful in muscle pain cases, may treat arthritis and migraines. Even Greeks used it against pain, while Queen Victoria applied it to get rid of menstrual cramps. |
| CBC | 0.16 - 0.94% | Cannabichromene, or CBC, is a minor cannabinoid, meaning that its quantity in cannabis is quite little. Though it has the same origin as CBD and THC, it is different in functions. Without any psychoactive effects, it is an efficient cannabis compound in combating acne and depression. CBC produces analgesic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. |
| CBG | 0.05 - 2.16% | Cannabigerol, or CBG, is one of the minor cannabis compounds in adult plants. On the other hand, young ones contain a lot of this antibacterial and anti-inflammatory component. During the growth, CBG is converted into different cannabinoids, mostly THC and CBD. The compound itself increases appetite and decreases eye pressure. |
| CBN | 0.19 - 0.22% | Cannabinol, or CBN, is a trace element in cannabis that is considered to be mildly psychoactive. It appears from oxidation THC, exposed to light and heat. CBN is mostly contained in old cannabis and in traditional hashish. It is effective against insomnia, bacterial infections and appetite loss. |
| THCV | 0.44 - 1.88% | Tetrahydrocannabivarin, or THC-V, is a compound contained in cannabis in trace amounts. Even though it is close to THC molecularly, it is different in effects. This compound may be psychoactive only in large amounts. THC-V reduces blood sugar, controls appetite, stimulates bone growth, etc. African Sativa strains are the richest in THC-V. |
Ice Cream Terpene Profile
| Carene | 0.15% | Carene (also known as Delta-3 carene) is a terpene found in rosemary, lemons, pines, and cedars, offering citrusy and cypress aroma. Studies on mice showed that carene provides anti-inflammatory effects, as well as promotes bone health and chronic pain relief. |
| Pinene | 0.21% | Pinene is one of the most widespread terpenes in nature, found in pine trees, basil, nutmeg, parsley, and rosemary. Cannabis containing terpene (alpha-pinene or α-pinene) boasts a strong pine scent. Pinene is responsible for anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and anti-anxiety effects. |
| Ocimene | 0.21% | Ocimene (derived from the Ancient Greek word Ocimum meaning basil) is a terpene with sweet and herbaceous flavors, also boasting citrusy and woody undertones. Naturally, ocimene occurs in mint, parsley, orchids, hops, kumquats, mangoes, basil, bergamot, lavender, and pepper. Offers antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. |
| Terpineol | 0.19% | Terpineol (also known as alpha-terpineol or a-terpineol) is a terpene naturally occurring in more than 150 plants, including lilacs, lime blossoms, eucalyptus sap, and pines. Among the therapeutic qualities are anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antimicrobial. In cannabis, terpineol boasts the distinctive pine smoke aroma and causes a relaxing, sedative effect. |
| Phellandrene | 0.1% | Phellandrene (also known as alpha- and beta-phellandrene) is one of the rare terpenes found in cannabis with antihyperalgesic and antidepressive properties. Phellandrene contributes to a minty, woody, and mildly citrus aroma in cannabis. Previously confused with limonene and pinene, phellandrene was eventually distinguished as a separate terpene common for eucalyptus. Also, it could be found in mint, dill, black pepper, cinnamon, parsley, pine, and lavender. |
| Caryophyllene | 0.15% | Caryophyllene (also known as beta or b caryophyllene) is a terpene found in many herbs and spices, such as black pepper, basil, rosemary, and oregano. Cannabis high in caryophyllene delivers a strong spicy, peppery aroma, resembling cinnamon and cloves. Caryophyllene offers potent anti-inflammatory and sedative effects. |

this indica is pretty talkative, I think philosophical conversations after smoking Ice Cream will be fascinating haha
my mood improves even after smelling this flower, sweet floral and vanilla aromas are awesome! Unexpected pungent hints.
Indicas help me cope with depression and Ice Cream is one of my favs. The stuff is award-winning and certainly worth trying. Its uplifting and gives energetic giggles. Gives intense high so Im careful on dosing it (the pack I bought has 18%THC).
We smoked a little joint with a friend. The head and body high was very strong. We both felt like we were levitating. Im a novice to weed and these effects scared me. To sum up my experience: the kush is for vets and its better used at nighttime. Im no
I thought it would help with my anxiety but it made me more paranoid about everything. Too strong for me.
Definitely a strain with something for everyone. Very strong aroma in flower, the nugs are compact and dense, but don’t expect huge colas. The plant itself is a perfect size for indoors, and almost no stretch.. As far as the high....it’s one of the best I have had, and is unique to a euphoric high, almost like a narcotic high(like Oxy-Cotton) but uplifting, and happy, as I was smiling like an idiot the whole time. Also has a strong flavor(s) of berry/vanilla which, and went down smooth on the inhale. I would recommend to grab some of these seeds to any grower, as i found the consumption, and high amazingly surprising, and the feel good sensations are off the chart. JUST REALLY GOOD SMOKE!
Non-sense. Couldnt speak after taking it.
Surprisingly good euphoria!
Cool candy aroma - impressive!
SO creamy and melts like magic on the tongue. LOVED IT.
The leafly site was absolutely right about being focused after taking the strain. The creamy texture in mouth, fruity aroma and sweetness relaxes you immediately but I had a headache that is so worse, everything else doesnt matter.
Such a good sleep inducer - bye bye insomnia and anxiety!!
Ice cream kush definitely gives me a surging high and effect lasts.
Even if someone is not a fan of ice creams and sweets, this is a STRONG weed with longlasting high that keeps a constant intensity and makes things easier to analyze and get in-depth on any topic of conversation. If anything, Ice cream puts you in the moood to talk!
Ice cream flavored ganja is one of those pothead perks that arent easy to dismiss. Bottom line, its not just the flavor, the buzz is uplifting, I always laugh like crazy with Ice cream and my motivation rises. Useful when there are things to do and youre down.
To get the best experience, try vaping a decent extract. Not easy to find though
If youre thinking about testing out Ice cream, dont hesitate but make sure you get fresh flowers and youll fall in love with the taste, arome, and the intensity of cerebral high youll experience. Highly recommended strain for those who enjoy experimenting!
I enjoy exotic tastes and Ice Cream certainly brings a unique set of flavors
I think this mj is best for edibles, keeps the most of its flavor palette.
not great not terrible
Vanilla flavor is overwhelmingly strong
probably best stuff for brownies!
Love everything about this strain, from the sweet cake aroma to the great head high it has.
Great high with a calming effect.
The creamy flavor is something to look out for. Not forgetting the head high this strain has, leaves you so calm and relaxed. It relieves stress and anxiety so effectively. Its my all time choice nothing beats it!
Awesome strain for relieving stress.
This bud is so potent!!! Careful!!
Perfect weed to smoke for an evening relaxation. It clears my mind and makes me feel so relaxed. After this the night will be filled with a good night rest. This is a sure way to beat insomnia and wake up feeling so energized.
The aroma is so sweet.
Nice body buzz, there is no too much of anything. Taste is floral, nothing too special. I recommend it if you want something classic - might want to keep looking if you want some other stuff.
The smooth smoke is easy on my lungs and has a great aroma too.
This strain has high THC level making it very potent. Would recommend first users to go easy on it. It may leave you locked to your couch or even feeling tingly with worse side effects. But you wouldn’t want to miss this great strain.
Left me so high and feeling extremely lazy.
Doesnt taste like advertised, but its not bad either. Its a decent bud
This Kush is best leaves you feeling so happy.
Love the creamy taste.
Has a way to calm my anxiety attacks. This strain is very effective I love it!
