Fried Ice Cream
Fried Ice Cream Strain Overview
Fried Ice Cream is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain's name references its unique flavor profile that combines sweet, creamy dessert notes with a slightly fried or toasted quality. It was created by crossing the popular strains Gelato 41 and The Menthol, combining Gelato's dessert-like characteristics with The Menthol's distinctive cooling effect. The strain gained popularity in the mid-2010s as part of the dessert strain trend in cannabis breeding.
Visually, Fried Ice Cream plants produce dense, frosty buds with a striking appearance. The nugs typically display a vibrant green base color with purple and blue hues that develop in cooler temperatures, complemented by bright orange pistils. The trichome coverage is exceptionally heavy, giving the buds a sugary, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma combines sweet vanilla and cream notes with hints of gas and earthiness, while the flavor profile delivers a complex mix of sweet cream, vanilla, and subtle diesel undertones on the exhale.
Fried Ice Cream is known for its well-balanced effects that begin with a cerebral uplift before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The high THC content makes it a potent strain that should be approached with caution by novice consumers. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been used as a parent strain in several subsequent breeding projects due to its desirable flavor profile and resin production.

Fried Ice Cream Strain Growing Information
Fried Ice Cream is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of approximately 450-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in optimal conditions.
The plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. They prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Indoor growers should provide good air circulation and monitor humidity levels carefully, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in high humidity conditions. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, but the plants benefit from additional phosphorus during the flowering stage to support bud development.
