Ice Caps
Also known as: Ice Capz, Ice Cap
Overview
Ice Caps is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (65% indica, 35% sativa) created by Sin City Seeds through a genetic cross between Ice Cream Cake and Blue Power IX2 (a second-generation inbred backcross). This strain was developed as part of the Blue Power 10 Year Anniversary Limited Edition Line, combining the sweet, creamy characteristics of Ice Cream Cake with the fruity potency and berry notes of Blue Power. The strain gets its name from its distinctive frosty appearance, featuring beautifully small and rounded olive green nugs with super thin orange hairs and a sparkling blanket of bright white crystal trichomes.
Ice Caps offers a complex sensory profile with aromas of sweet, creamy vanilla and fruity blueberries, while the flavor delivers a sweet blueberry overtone accented by creamy, sugary vanilla and hints of earthiness. The strain is cherished for its complex, layered, and unforgettable terpene profile that contributes to its bold, pungent scent and memorable taste experience. Ice Caps flowers relatively quickly with a flowering time of 55-65 days (8-10 weeks) and yields generously, producing between 450 to 800 grams per square meter indoors.
