Growing Information
Ice Cream Man is an indica-dominant hybrid that grows into tall plants with medium yields, typically producing 450-500 grams per square meter indoors. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors (55-67 days) with outdoor harvests recommended in October. Plants thrive in warm, dry environments with plenty of light and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires high-quality grow lights and well-ventilated spaces, while outdoor growing benefits from sunny locations with well-draining soil. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced cultivators. During the vegetative stage, plants need abundant nutrients, water, and light, with a switch to blooming nutrients and 12-hour light cycles during flowering. The strain shows good resistance to pests and mold issues, though proper humidity control is important due to the dense bud structure.
