History of the Ice Cream Candy Cannabis Strain
Ice Cream Candy was created by In House Genetics, a cannabis genetics brand from the US led by head grower Brandon Bond. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Brandon got introduced to smoking and selling cannabis in high school before trying his hand at growing in his closet. Eventually, Brandon met his partner—a local breeder. In the early 2000s, Brandon and his partner combined their genetic libraries and began hunting down phenotypes and clones while simultaneously building up a presence on cannabis forums (and later on social media). Today, In House Genetics is widely respected as a producer of top-shelf strains by breeders in and out of the USA. Some of the brand's most notable creations include:
• Slurricane
• Dolato
• Platinum Punch
• Macflurry
• Sugar Cane
Genetic Lineage of Ice Cream Candy
Ice Cream Candy is an indica-dominant cannabis hybrid bred from Dolato and Slurricane 23.
Dolato was also created by In House Genetics and, as her name implies, stems from a cross of Do-Si-Dos and Gelato. The result is an indica-dominant hybrid that develops dark green, bushy foliage. Some phenos may also produce purple hues in cooler conditions. True to both its parents, Dolato boasts a very fruity aroma mixed with notes of earthy tobacco, spice, and pine. Its effects, on the other hand, elevate the mind into a carefree state of euphoria while relaxing the body without causing deep sedation or couch-lock.
Slurricane, another In House Genetics creation, was born via a cross of Do-Si-Dos and Purple Punch. The resulting hybrid is indica dominant and produces dark green flowers flecked with bright orange pistils and an extremely sugary coating of trichomes. Some phenos of Slurricane may also show pink or purple highlights. Light her up and Slurricane delivers a strong aroma of berries and grapes mixed with classic OG Kush notes and creamy undertones. Unlike Dolato, Slurricane offers a deep stone that leaves users feeling happy, tingly, and very sleepy, so she is best enjoyed in the evenings when you can lean into her heavy indica buzz.
Physical Characteristics of Ice Cream Candy
Ice Cream Candy produces stout, indica-dominant plants with dark green foliage and moderately spaced nodes. The strain isn't known to stretch much, though this may vary from one phenotype to another. Once in bloom, Ice Cream Candy produces dense, pine-shaped flowers with a tight structure and plenty of frosty resin. Depending on how she's grown, Ice Cream Candy may retain her deep green color or turn a lovely magenta.
Properties and Effects of Ice Creamy Candy
Ice Cream Candy is very potent, producing up to 30% total cannabinoids and 20–26% THC. The strain also boasts a unique mix of terpenes, including limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene, though it may also contain humulene and linalool in smaller concentrations.
Regarding aroma, Ice Cream Candy buds have an upfront sweetness that blends together notes of vanilla ice cream and gelato with darker notes of berries, cherries, and grapes. A refined nose may also pick up on subtle notes of pine, candy, and spices (such as vanilla bean and toasted cloves). Light her up and Ice Cream Candy delivers similar flavors that douse the taste buds with a candy-like sweetness that's oddly reminiscent of bubblegum. Over time, her flavor becomes earthier and skunkier, with spicy notes on the exhale.
When it comes to effects, Ice Cream Candy is all about uplifting vibes. Soon after taking your first hit, you’ll feel a boost in mood alongside a soothing body high. While she won't send you to sleep immediately, Ice Cream Candy is far from energetic—if you're smoking on the couch, chances are you'll stay there for the rest of the session. In social settings, Ice Cream Candy's relaxing buzz can help to fuel creative conversations. Smoke her on your own, on the other hand, and Ice Cream Candy will leave you feeling positive and introspective, perfect for enjoying your favorite music, movie, book, or video game. Depending on your tolerance, you may get away with smoking Ice Cream Candy during the day. In general, however, this heavy indica is best enjoyed in the evenings or on weekends.

Cultivation and Production of Ice Cream Candy

While In House Genetics has released little information about the strain, growers say that Ice Cream Candy is an easy-to-grow indica that stays nice and compact and performs well both indoors, outside, and in greenhouses. Ice Cream Candy also appears to respond well to most training techniques. Once in bloom, plants prefer slightly cooler temperatures, which can also encourage them to develop purple hues.
