ELYXR Strain Spotlight: Ice Cream
Ready to try a strain that tastes amazing and feels even better? Ice Cream is a spectacular hybrid that has a flavor that’s totally out of this world, all while giving enthusiasts the sublime sense of euphoric tranquility that they crave more than anything else. A rarer strain, many people keep it in their rotation once they finally get a taste of its sweet bliss, and we’re pretty sure that if you are able to come across it, it’ll remain a memorable one that sticks out in your mind. Let’s look more closely at Ice Cream, so you can get a better idea of what to expect.
Ice Cream Basics
Did you know that the Ice Cream strain is a relatively rare one? In fact, there’s a ton about it that is still unknown. Also known as Ice Cream Kush, its lineage is a bit mysterious, but the most plausible theory is that it’s derived from White Widow, Bubble Gum, and School Californian Skunk. Ice Cream is about 60% indica / 40% sativa, and it yields roughly 19% THC, making it moderate in terms of its potency – that, by the way, makes it an excellent choice for people with a lower THC tolerance level.
Bud Characteristics
Ice Cream buds are very aesthetically pleasing, with beautiful waves of rich green and purple. It’s smattered with deep, amber-colored hairs, and a glittery layer of gorgeous trichome crystals, thus making the buds almost shimmer in the light.
Growing Ice Cream Seeds
By utilizing the “Sea of Green” technique, that is how you can achieve those optimal yields. Ice Cream grows at a rapid rate and performs admirably indoors, taking about 8-9 weeks to flower. Ice Cream is moderately easy to grow and requires warm, dry environments and high humidity if grown outdoors. You can still obtain a nice yield outdoors, assuming you do everything correctly.
Flavor & Aroma
Now, let’s get to the flavor and aroma, which we’re sure you’re dying to hear about. The flavor and aroma certainly live up to the name, which is great news if you’re all about sweet and creamy terpene profiles. There’s an undeniable sugary nature to the aroma, with subtle hints of vanilla and citrus, and lots of creaminess. The flavor is just as intoxicating, no pun intended, with a velvety richness that is quite surprising.
Ice Cream Strain Uses and Effects
Let’s talk about the most common reasons for gravitating toward Ice Cream as their strain of choice. For starters, its moderate THC level makes it great for people who don’t want to get knockout stoned, because as long as you have something of a tolerance, 19% is a great, manageable amount. The effects are somewhat balanced, so it’s also a versatile strain that can be super useful day or night, although keep in mind that it does lean toward “sleepier” effects, so if you’re sensitive to that, you might wanna save it for after work.
People swear by this strain for both depression and anxiety, since it’s super uplifting, and fantastic at calming down those negative, racing, or worrisome thoughts. It’s actually recommended highly to anyone who struggles with PMS, as it can help with irritability and stress, as well as physical symptoms associated with the condition. This can be a good strain for sleep, if taken before bed, and it’s very popular among arthritis patients who prefer cannabis as their relief of choice. The strain generally has great effects for those who have physical discomfort, tight muscles, etc.
What Can You Expect When Taking Ice Cream?
Now, let’s talk about the high of Ice Cream. It’s a really balanced high which is good news for someone who wants to feel something that’s neither too energizing or too drowsy. The ‘high’ offers something of a gradual build, so you’ll be able to enjoy each phase of its hold taking over the mind and body. And, despite its more moderate THC level, you’ll definitely be in for a super gratifying high.
The buzzing sensation begins in the skull, with a feeling of pure joy that brings a sense of euphoria into the next couple of hours. The strain is super popular as well because of the fact that you can remain nice and alert while it’s fully active in the system. You’ll likely be able to continue with tasks, focusing on conversations, or being fully engaged in creative pursuits. The high feels very calm, which means that you’ll likely be able to enjoy a nice break from your daily worries. As for the body high effects, it’s a similar potency in terms of its buzz – not something that’s going to knock you out in any way, but strong enough to make you feel a sense of relaxing ease in the muscles and joints.
