Strawberry Ice
Strawberry Ice
Also known as: Strawberry, Ice
Overview
Strawberry Ice is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that gained recognition by winning Best Sativa at the 2015 Oregon DOPE Cup. The strain exhibits conflicting genetic information across sources, with some indicating it's a cross between Blueberry and an unknown sativa hybrid, while others suggest lineages involving Strawberry Cough, Haze and Strawberry Fields, or even Thai landrace genetics. This strain is characterized by its striking appearance with bright neon green nugs, sparse orange hairs, and a heavy coating of frosty amber trichomes that give it a crystalline appearance reminiscent of ice.
The most distinctive feature of Strawberry Ice is its exceptional flavor profile that lives up to its name. Users report prominent sweet strawberry notes accompanied by subtle mint undertones on the exhale, creating a refreshing and enjoyable smoking experience. The aroma is equally captivating, featuring strong strawberry scents with earthy, herbal, and spicy undertones that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart. This strain's terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, which contributes to its fruity character, along with caryophyllene and humulene that add complexity to its aromatic profile.

Growing Information
Strawberry Ice is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with flowering times typically ranging from 8-9 weeks (some sources indicate 65-70 days). Due to its sativa genetics, plants can grow quite tall, especially outdoors, so height management may be necessary in indoor setups. Indoor yields can reach up to 500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce up to 900 grams each. The plants exhibit typical sativa characteristics with lanky, thin structures that may require support. The strain shows good resistance to pests and mold, though proper ventilation is important. Growers appreciate its generous trichome production and resinous buds.
