Astronaut Ice Cream
Astronaut Ice Cream Strain Overview
Astronaut Ice Cream is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Temple of Terpenes, renowned for its innovative approach, aimed to push the boundaries of flavor and potency. The strain's lineage has been carefully curated by Temple of Terpenes, combining legacy genetics with cutting-edge breeding techniques. It emerged during a period when advanced genetic techniques began to gain traction among cannabis cultivators and was first showcased at several industry expos in the mid-2010s. There is some conflicting information about its exact lineage - some sources indicate it is a hybrid weed strain made by crossing Space Cake and Killer Cupcakes, while others suggest it comes from crossing the powerful Future X Sherbet strains or Santa Cruz Sherbet and the Future.
Visually, Astronaut Ice Cream is characterized by dense and compact buds, showcasing a vibrant interplay of colors that speak to its hybrid nature. A closer inspection reveals hues of deep green interspersed with sparkling orange hairs and an occasional purple tint along the edges. Microscopic trichomes blanket the bud surfaces, giving them a frosty, almost extraterrestrial, appearance that resonates with the strain's space-themed branding. Early testers described the initial aroma as reminiscent of the classic astronaut ice cream snack, which added a playful twist to its reputation. Statistical analyses from breeding records indicate that the strain's genetic composition is split nearly 50/50 between indica and sativa, which is unusual for many contemporary strains, though some sources classify it as indica-dominant.
