Black Cherry Ice Cream
Also known as: BCIC
Black Cherry Ice Cream Strain Overview
Black Cherry Ice Cream is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine desirable traits from its parent strains. The strain was created by crossing Black Cherry OG with Ice Cream Cake, resulting in a genetic profile that typically expresses as indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 70% indica/30% sativa). Its development represents contemporary breeding efforts focused on creating strains with complex flavor profiles and balanced effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications.
The strain is visually distinctive, featuring dense, conical buds with deep purple and forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance reminiscent of ice crystals. The purple pigmentation becomes more pronounced when plants are exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation, a trait inherited from its Black Cherry OG lineage. The buds are typically compact and resinous, with a structure that facilitates trimming and processing.
Notable characteristics include its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with creamy, dessert-like undertones. The name accurately reflects the sensory experience, with prominent cherry and berry aromas complemented by vanilla and cream notes. This strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its balanced effects and appealing sensory qualities, though comprehensive scientific research on its specific properties remains limited.

Black Cherry Ice Cream Strain Growing Information
Black Cherry Ice Cream is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants prefer a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Height is medium to tall, often reaching 120-180 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (avoiding extreme heat) to preserve terpene profiles and color development, implementing proper support structures for heavy buds, and monitoring for common cannabis pests. Cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering can enhance purple coloration.
