Description

ice cream cake weed strain is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain resulting from crossing Wedding Cake and Gelato #33. It is prized for its dense, frosty buds with hues of deep green and purple accented by vibrant orange pistils. It offers a sweet and creamy aroma with notes of vanilla, citrus, pine, and a hint of earthiness, delivering a smooth and flavorful smoking experience that lives up to its dessert-inspired name.

This strain typically contains THC levels between 20% and 25%, making it suitable for seasoned consumers looking for a euphoric head high followed by deep body relaxation. Ice Cream Cake is moderately challenging to grow but rewards cultivators with medium to large yields. It performs well both indoors and outdoors, preferably in warm climates with controlled humidity to prevent mold due to dense buds.

  2. Seed Type: Feminized, photoperiod
  3. Growing Medium: Well-aerated soil or hydroponic setups
  4. Environment: Indoor or outdoor cultivation
  5. Temperature Range: 68°F to 80°F (20°C to 27°C)
  6. Humidity Levels: 40-60% during vegetative, reduced to 40-50% during flowering
  7. Lighting: 18-20 hours of light during vegetative stage; 12/12 light/dark cycle for flowering
  8. Nutrients: Nitrogen-rich during vegetative; Phosphorus and Potassium-rich during flowering

Instructions

Propagation and Germination

  • Start with high-quality feminized seeds from a reputable breeder.

  • Germinate seeds in a moist paper towel or distilled water at 70-85°F (21-29°C) until taproots appear (1-3 days).

  • Transfer to a light, well-draining soil or peat pellets, maintaining humidity around 60-70% and temperatures near 75-80°F (24-27°C).

  • Provide gentle, indirect light during seedling stage.

Vegetative Stage

  • Provide 18-20 hours of intense light daily using LED grow lights optimized for vegetation.

  • Maintain temperature between 68°F and 80°F (20-27°C).

  • Keep humidity at 40-60% to encourage healthy growth.

  • Use nitrogen-rich nutrients to support strong leaf development.

  • Water only when the top inch of soil is dry to avoid overwatering.

  • Employ low-stress training (LST) or topping to control plant shape and maximize yields.

Flowering Stage

  • Switch to a 12/12 light/dark cycle to initiate flowering.

  • Provide 65-75°F (18-24°C) temperatures and lower humidity (40-50%) to prevent mold.

  • Use phosphorus and potassium-rich nutrients to sustain bud development.

  • Harvest after 8-10 weeks when trichomes turn milky white with some amber for optimal potency.

  • Support heavy buds with stakes or trellises if necessary.

Drying and Curing

  • Dry buds slowly in a dark, ventilated space at approximately 60°F (15°C) with 50% humidity.

  • Cure buds in airtight jars, opening daily for air exchange for at least 2 weeks to enhance flavor and potency.
