ICE (Indica Crystal Extreme) Strain Overview
ICE, which stands for Indica Crystal Extreme, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80-90% indica, 10-20% sativa) originally bred by Nirvana Seeds. This legendary strain was created by crossing four potent parent strains: Afghan, Northern Lights, Skunk #1, and White Widow. ICE earned its name from its remarkable appearance - the buds are so heavily coated in crystalline trichomes that they appear to be dusted with ice crystals or frost. The strain won the 1998 Cannabis Cup, cementing its reputation in cannabis culture. ICE is particularly renowned for its overwhelming resin production, making it an ideal candidate for hash and concentrate production. The buds are characteristically dense and sticky, often adhering to containers and grinders due to their resinous nature. This strain represents classic indica genetics at their finest, offering users a traditional couch-lock experience that has made it a staple for evening and nighttime use.
