Pure Ice Cream
Also known as: Pure Ice Cream Strain, PIC
Pure Ice Cream Strain Overview
Pure Ice Cream is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine desirable traits from its parent genetics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as part of a wave of dessert-themed cultivars. Breeders aimed to create a strain with both appealing flavor profiles and reliable effects, resulting in this particular genetic combination.
The strain is characterized by dense, frosty buds that often display a light green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The nugs are typically coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a sparkling, icy appearance that likely inspired the 'Ice Cream' portion of its name. The 'Pure' designation suggests breeders focused on stabilizing particular traits through multiple generations of selective breeding.
Pure Ice Cream plants exhibit moderate growth patterns with good resistance to common molds and pests, making them suitable for cultivators with intermediate experience. The strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile, though it remains less widely documented than some mainstream commercial strains.

Pure Ice Cream Strain Growing Information
Pure Ice Cream is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late 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 strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants exhibit medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and implementing low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and yield. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual flush before harvest to enhance flavor profiles.
