Sticky Rice
The name "Sticky Rice" doesn't belong to just one strain — it belongs to at least three. The most commercially prevalent version, bred by Lit Farms, crosses Lemon Cherry Gelato with Permanent Marker, and it's the version most widely documented under the name. Some sources attribute the name to an Ice Cream Mints x Jumanji cross, while most identify Rothko's version as a multi-generation project rooted in Ice Cream Cake and Kush Mints #11. Whichever cut you encounter, the Lit Farms indica-dominant hybrid is known for a rich, creamy aroma layered with citrus peel, jasmine, and a faint earthy diesel funk that lingers after you crack the jar.
Reviewers describe the experience as a slow-building wave of physical calm paired with a light euphoric lift, noting that it settles into the body without switching off the head. People who've tried it often report a mellow, happy headspace that drifts toward sleepiness. The buds are dense, golf-ball-shaped colas with heavy resin coverage, and some phenotypes show lavender and plum flecking under cooler night temps.
Sticky Rice is a moderate-difficulty strain that stays compact at 3 to 4 feet indoors, though its 1.5 to 2.2× stretch during flower means it'll need some vertical runway by week three of bloom. Outdoors, it thrives in warm climates where temperatures hold steady between 23 and 28 degrees Celsius. The dense, golf-ball-shaped colas can make it susceptible to mold in humid conditions — something to watch for given how tightly those bud sites pack together. Growers often report yields of 500 to 700 grams per square meter indoors when conditions stay consistent through its 8-to-9-week flowering window.
