Ice Cream is an award-winning 60% indica-dominant hybrid, prized for its exceptional smoothness, potent effects, and unique flavor profile. Engineered for fast growth and high resin production, this strain delivers a luxurious experience with its creamy vanilla and skunky undertones. Highly responsive to indoor cultivation techniques and adaptable to outdoor environments, Ice Cream flowers in 8–9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by early October outdoors. Yields reach up to 500 g per m² indoors and 700+ g per plant outdoors.
Lineage
Ice Cream is a cross between Afghan Skunk x White Widow. This genetic blend enhances the plant’s stability, potency, and resin production, delivering a rich terpene profile and well-balanced effects. The result is a hybrid that combines the best of indica relaxation with a hint of sativa clarity.
Aromas, Flavour and Effect
Ice Cream is renowned for its distinct vanilla aroma, underpinned by skunky and pine notes. As the plant matures, the grow space fills with a creamy, sweet fragrance. Once dried, the buds retain their signature dessert-like quality, offering a smooth, rich flavor that lingers on the palate.
This strain delivers deep, full-body relaxation while maintaining a balanced and clear-headed effect. The indica influence promotes physical ease, while the subtle sativa presence brings a positive, zen-like focus. Ice Cream is ideal for both relaxation and creative pursuits, making it a versatile choice for day or night use.
Medical users value Ice Cream for its balanced therapeutic effects. It is commonly used for chronic pain relief, stress reduction, and muscle relaxation. Its ability to soothe without overwhelming sedation makes it an excellent option for those seeking relief while remaining functional.
Cultivation
Indoors, Ice Cream is an excellent performer, exhibiting rapid growth with minimal stretching. Its structure makes it well-suited for multi-branch growth and particularly effective in Sea of Green (SOG) setups. With a flowering period of 8–9 weeks, it consistently produces dense, resin-rich buds.
Indoor Yield: 500 g per m²
Outdoors, Ice Cream thrives in warm climates where ample sunlight enhances resin production. While it performs adequately in temperate regions, its full potential is unlocked in Mediterranean conditions. The plant develops compact, glistening buds that are densely packed with trichomes, making it a favorite for hash and concentrate production.
Outdoor Yield: 700+ g per plant

Not only one of my favorite Paradise strains but one of my favorite strains ever. I find that Paradise describes their strains very accurately and the phenos I found in my pack were as advertised. Very interesting candy like smells and and buds as dense as my sensi stars. I ran two packs the very first time and I can confidently say that you should get yourself two scoops of ice cream, I’m glad I did.

Of the 35-40 strains I’ve grown over the years, this is by far the most popular. People love the Sensi Star as well but, as my buddy puts it, “Ice Cream is what all the kids want!”. I always grow it in deep water culture with Botanicare nutrients.

What a strain. 10/10 germination. Responded well to LSt, and was one of the easiest strains I have ever grown with some really full flavor smoke. Some variation I found but all 10 had a amazing funkiness that is next to impossible to describe. Well Done Paradise~

First comercial harvest of this strain confirms this as a real winner. The plants are as they say” ferrari” like when talking about a fast response to any imbalance or stress condition. The advantage though is ample time to fix them. The yield was very good 100 g plus per plant. Very tasty smoke. Provides an upbeat feeling. Another proven winner by paradise. Best feminised seeds on the market. Period!
