Ice Cream Cake Fast Flowering
Also known as: ICC Fast Flowering, Ice Cream Cake Fast, Ice Cream Cake FF
Ice Cream Cake Fast Flowering Strain Overview
Ice Cream Cake Fast Flowering is a photoperiod cannabis strain bred specifically for reduced flowering time while maintaining the desirable characteristics of the original Ice Cream Cake. This strain was developed by crossing the popular Ice Cream Cake (itself a cross of Wedding Cake and Gelato #33) with fast-flowering genetics, though the exact parentage of the fast-flowering component is typically proprietary information from breeders. The result is a plant that offers the same premium qualities as standard Ice Cream Cake but with a significantly shorter cultivation period, making it appealing to growers seeking efficiency without sacrificing quality.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple and dark green hues contrasted by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance reminiscent of its namesake. The compact bud structure and heavy resin production make this strain particularly suitable for extraction purposes. The fast-flowering trait represents a notable advancement in cannabis breeding, allowing cultivators to achieve similar results to traditional photoperiod strains in less time, though some connoisseurs note subtle differences in terpene profiles compared to the original.
Ice Cream Cake Fast Flowering maintains the complex aromatic profile of its parent strain, combining sweet, creamy notes with earthy undertones and hints of vanilla. The flavor profile is similarly rich, with users reporting a smooth smoke that delivers both dessert-like sweetness and subtle diesel notes on the exhale. While this strain has gained popularity among both home growers and commercial operations due to its reduced flowering time, it remains less documented than the original Ice Cream Cake, with some variation reported between different breeders' versions of the fast-flowering phenotype.

Ice Cream Cake Fast Flowering Strain Growing Information
Ice Cream Cake Fast Flowering is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for intermediate growers. The fast-flowering version typically reduces flowering time by approximately 1-2 weeks compared to the original, with indoor flowering times of 7-8 weeks (49-56 days). Outdoor plants are ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain produces medium to high yields, with indoor growers reporting 450-550 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
Plants exhibit a compact, bushy structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. This strain performs well in both soil and hydroponic systems and responds favorably to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should maintain moderate humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) and provide good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding noted by cultivators. The strain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over the environmental conditions that maximize resin production.
