Icy Hot
Icy Hot Strain Overview
Icy Hot is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Bigworm Genetics, created through crossing the legendary The Cube strain with Pakistani Chitral Kush (PCK). This strain emerged as part of Bigworm Genetics' innovative breeding program, designed to deliver a unique experience that captures both the alluring chill and warming sensation hinted in its name. The genetic lineage combines the psychedelic and spacey effects of The Cube (itself a cross of Starfighter F1 x Starfighter IX2) with the traditional indica heritage of Pakistani Chitral Kush, a pure landrace strain from the Chitral region of Pakistan known for its hash-making qualities and colorful phenotypes.
The strain exhibits the dense bud structure and robust flavor profile characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage, though the breeder notes it may be 'a little small on the yield side but makes up for it with frost and bag appeal.' Icy Hot represents the convergence of classic indica genetics with contemporary breeding techniques, offering users a modern twist on traditional indica effects. While specific terpene data is limited, the strain's lineage suggests a complex aromatic profile inherited from both parent strains, with The Cube contributing earthy, spicy, and sweet notes while PCK adds its characteristic fruity and hash-like qualities.

Icy Hot Strain Growing Information
Icy Hot can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though specific growing parameters are limited due to the strain's relative rarity. Based on its parentage, growers can expect typical indica growth patterns with potentially shorter, bushier plants. The strain inherits resilience from its Pakistani Chitral Kush parent, which is known for adaptability to various conditions including resistance to mold and pests. The Cube parent suggests a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks. While yields may be modest according to the breeder, the strain compensates with exceptional resin production and bag appeal, making it potentially valuable for concentrate production.
