Ice Cream Haze by Dutch Passion Seeds

Ice Cream Haze Strain Info

The Ice Cream Haze strain from Dutch Passion is a brilliant mix of old-school Haze and the modern classic Ice Cream Cake (Gelato x Wedding Cake). This vigorous sativa-dominant hybrid packs an exhilarating punch of potent THC, often hitting levels as high as 25%. With its genetic roots firmly planted in the legendary Haze family, Ice Cream Haze blends the spicy, hazy charm of Crockett’s Haze with the creamy, sweet notes of Ice Cream Cake. It's a strain crafted for those seeking big yields and a flavorful experience that leaves a lasting impression.

The plant itself is a real beauty. Tall and elegant, with long branches that stretch during flowering, Ice Cream Haze develops into a visually stunning sativa with dense, frosty buds. These buds shimmer with a thick layer of trichomes, giving the plant a frosted appearance that matches its name perfectly. Expect towering, spear-shaped flowers that can grow up to 50 cm in length, packed tightly with sticky resinous buds that almost beg to be harvested. Indoors, this strain can reward you with impressive yields, easily hitting between 600 and 700 grams per square meter under the right conditions.

Flowering Time & Yield

Ice Cream Haze doesn’t keep you waiting long for those big harvests. Indoors, this strain flowers in about 8 to 10 weeks, making it relatively quick for a sativa-dominant hybrid. Outdoors, it’s ready to be harvested by late September or early October in warm, sunny climates. If grown outdoors in ideal conditions, this plant can become a true giant, sometimes reaching up to 3 meters in height with branches so loaded with buds they might need support.

For those looking for heavy yields, Ice Cream Haze does not disappoint. Indoors, it can produce a hefty 600 to 700 grams per square meter. When grown outdoors in the right environment, this marijuana strain can easily yield over 1 kilogram per plant, making it a top choice for growers who want both quality and quantity.

Effects and Aroma

The effects of Ice Cream Haze are just as bold as its flavor. With a THC content that regularly reaches 22% and can even hit 25% under optimal conditions, this strain offers an energetic and euphoric high that’s perfect for getting creative or simply enjoying life with friends. The high is primarily cerebral, giving you a mental boost that helps you stay focused and engaged. But don’t worry, the physical side of this hybrid will also gently relax your body without knocking you out, making it a great choice for both daytime and evening use.

When it comes to aroma, Ice Cream Haze fills the room with a strong, penetrating scent. The terpene profile combines the spicy, hazy aromas of its Haze lineage with the creamy, sweet, fruity notes from its Ice Cream Cake parent. Some phenotypes lean more towards that spicy, fruity haze, while others bring out the rich, dessert-like sweetness that makes Ice Cream Haze so unique. The result is a mouth-watering experience that will keep you coming back for more.

Growing Tips & Expert Opinion

When it comes to growing Ice Cream Haze, it’s important to keep in mind that this strain thrives in warm, sunny environments, especially outdoors. It performs best in a Mediterranean climate where it can soak up plenty of sunlight. That said, it also does incredibly well indoors using techniques like SOG (Sea of Green) or SCROG (Screen of Green) to manage its height and maximize yields. Ice Cream Haze has a tendency to stretch during the first few weeks of flowering, so be prepared to give it plenty of space or use training methods to keep it under control.

One of the things we really appreciate about Ice Cream Haze is its natural resistance to pests and diseases. While no strain is completely immune, this one holds up very well against common issues, making it a great option for both novice and experienced growers alike. It’s a relatively easy strain to grow if you’re working in a controlled environment, but if you're cultivating it outdoors, it’s best suited to areas that don’t experience too much cold or humidity during flowering.

In terms of difficulty, we’d say Ice Cream Haze falls in the moderate category. It’s not overly demanding, but it does benefit from some attention to detail, especially during training and feeding. However, the rewards are more than worth the effort, with dense, resin-coated buds and excellent yields that make this strain a favorite in any grow room or garden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ice Cream Haze sativa or indica?

Ice Cream Haze is a hybrid strain with a dominant sativa profile, approximately 70% sativa and 30% indica. Sativa strains are known for their uplifting, energetic effects that target the mind, making them great for daytime use or creative projects.

Ice Cream Haze combines the best of both worlds, offering the energetic euphoria of sativa with just enough indica to keep you grounded and relaxed without feeling too sedated.

Ice Cream Haze has a relatively fast flowering time for a sativa-dominant strain, taking between 8 to 10 weeks indoors.
