What is the genetics of Ice Cream Cake?
We are facing a cross between Gelato # 33 and Wedding Cake, both direct descendants of Thin Mint Cookies. Gelato # 33 is for many the best selection of Gelato on the planet, it contains Sunset Sherbert and GSC Thin Mint, and its flavor is for framing. Wedding Cake is a clone of Triangle Mints renamed by the Jungle Boys , and it is a cross between Triangle Kush and Thin Mint Cookies.
What is this plant like in general terms?
It is a polyhybrid mainly indica, around 75% compared to 25% sativa. Its vegetative structure remains compact and dense, but when it enters flowering it stretches the nodes quite a bit, so it ends up looking more like a sativa hybrid. But the inflorescences are born very close together, and end up forming very dense buds, like those of the indica.
What is the best way to grow Ice Cream Cake?
If you are going to grow it indoors, I recommend applying the SCROG technique, since the formation of branches of the Ice Cream Cake adapts especially well to this method. If you dare to do it, remember that the ideal is to start pruning the plants from the fourth or fifth node, so that they begin to develop lateral branching as soon as possible.
Outdoors try to find a very sunny place to grow it, this girl loves solar radiation, so the more hours the better. Choose a pot of more than 25 liters, fill it with substrate rich in nutrients, and add root stimulator the first 3 waterings. From there nature will take care of helping you get a great harvest, frosted with resin, or rather frozen.
When is the Ice Cream Cake harvested?
Indoors well configured can be harvested with just 8 weeks of flowering, and I say well configured because stress can cause the harvest to be delayed. If you prefer the effect to be more cheerful and awake, don't wait more than 60 days after you change the photoperiod to 12/12.
In the open air it is harvested at the beginning of October in the northern hemisphere, fully ripe. Ice Cream Cake outdoor crops in the southern hemisphere usually wait until the first week of April for their optimal harvest.
