ICE is a feminised photoperiod cultivar bred from Afghan, Northern Light and Skunk parents, leaning strongly towards indica with roughly 90 per cent indica and 10 per cent sativa ancestry. Its frosty appearance comes from the thick layer of resin that develops as the flowers mature, which is why hash makers rate it so highly as starting material for concentrates. Indoors the plants stay compact, roughly 80 to 120 centimetres, whereas outdoor specimens can reach around 150 to 200 centimetres. Topping and pinching encourage a broader, bushier silhouette, and light defoliation can help light reach lower bud sites. Flowering generally runs for about 8 to 10 weeks. Stated yields are 400 to 450 grams per square metre indoors and 500 to 550 grams per plant outdoors. The aroma and taste lean towards spice, earth and pine, with a touch of mint and pepper. Its listed THC content is up to 18 per cent, and its heavy, couch-lock character makes it a choice many people reserve for the evening. A strong pick for growers who favour indica-type plants.
