Icee Rink
Also known as: Ice Rink, Icee Rink OG
Icee Rink Strain Overview
Icee Rink is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, likely as a cross between Ice Cream Cake and another undisclosed parent strain. Breeders aimed to create a cultivar that combined the dessert-like flavors of Ice Cream Cake with enhanced visual appeal and a more balanced effect profile.
The strain is characterized by its striking appearance, featuring dense, frosty buds that are often tinged with purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The name 'Icee Rink' references the thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a glistening, icy appearance reminiscent of a skating rink. The nugs are typically medium to large in size with a tight, indica-dominant structure, though the effects lean more toward a balanced hybrid experience.
Icee Rink has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and reliable effects. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in legal markets where boutique strains have flourished. The strain represents the ongoing innovation in cannabis breeding that focuses on both aesthetic appeal and nuanced effect profiles.

Icee Rink Strain Growing Information
Icee Rink is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature conditions that can enhance purple coloration.
Indoor yields are typically moderate to high, with experienced growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Icee Rink benefits from careful nutrient management and responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. The strain is somewhat sensitive to humidity and requires good airflow to prevent mold, particularly during the final weeks of flowering when buds become dense and resinous.
