Sticky Icky
Also known as: Sticky Icky OG, Sticky Icky Kush
What is the Sticky Icky strain?
Sticky Icky is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Sticky Icky is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its exceptionally resinous buds and potent effects. The strain's name derives from its most distinctive characteristic: buds that are so densely coated in trichomes they become extremely sticky to the touch. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources suggest it is a cross between OG Kush and an unknown indica-dominant strain, possibly Afghani or Hindu Kush. The strain emerged in the early 2000s within the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California, where it was developed by underground breeders seeking to create a strain with maximum resin production.
The plant produces medium-sized, compact buds that are typically forest green with occasional purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are covered in a thick layer of milky-white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils, giving them a visually striking appearance. The strain's aroma is complex, combining earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones. When properly cured, the buds break apart with a satisfying stickiness that leaves resin on fingers and trimming tools.
Sticky Icky has become particularly favored among concentrate producers and hash makers due to its exceptional trichome production, which translates to high yields of extracted products. The strain's balanced hybrid effects make it versatile for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Sticky Icky maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its potent effects and exceptional resin production.

How do you grow Sticky Icky?
Sticky Icky is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of 400-500 grams per square meter with proper care. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean climates with consistent sunlight.
The plant typically grows to a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, developing a bushy structure with dense colas. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold in the dense buds, providing adequate support for heavy colas, and implementing careful nutrient management as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to increase yield and light penetration. Growers should be prepared for extremely sticky resin production during trimming, requiring regular cleaning of tools with isopropyl alcohol.
