IceWine
Also known as: Ice Wine, Icewine
IceWine Strain Overview
IceWine is a premium cannabis strain developed by the Canadian breeder Next Generation Seeds. This hybrid strain was created by crossing the indica-dominant Ice with the sativa-dominant Romulan, resulting in a balanced hybrid that combines the best characteristics of both parent strains. The strain's name references both its frosty appearance and its complex flavor profile that some users compare to the sweet dessert wine of the same name.
Visually, IceWine is notable for its dense, resinous buds that are often covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving the flowers a frosted, icy appearance. The buds typically display deep purple hues with vibrant orange pistils, creating a striking visual contrast. The strain's genetics produce plants with moderate height and good resistance to common molds and pests, making it relatively manageable for cultivators.
IceWine has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and potent effects. While primarily available in Canada and legal U.S. markets, its reputation has spread internationally among cannabis enthusiasts. The strain represents a successful example of careful breeding to combine desirable traits from different cannabis varieties.

IceWine Strain Growing Information
IceWine is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain 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 northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants exhibit hybrid growth patterns, reaching medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. IceWine prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. The strain benefits from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize light penetration and bud development. Proper nutrient management is important, particularly during the flowering phase when the plants develop their characteristic resin production.
