White Ice

White Ice is a triple threat that blends the award-winning Northern Lights with Dutch Skunk and Afghan cultivars. So named for its buds that glimmer with silver resin, White Ice is potently indica-dominant and sweet-smelling.

The flavor profile of White Ice, created by White Label of Colorado, is broad and may be sweet, like the aroma, as well as refreshingly piney. Some users clear their calendars for an evening with White Ice, as the sedating strain has been said to produce the couch-lock effect.

Sometimes dubbed White I.C.E., for Indica Crystal Extreme, this strain yields a bounty of trichomes over a rapid flowering cycle of 45 to 55 days. White Ice harvests can be impressive as much for their speed as for their abundance.

This strain is resistant to many types of pests, as well as mold and mildew, which makes it a smart choice for the beginner. A controlled indoor environment works well with White Ice, unless the cultivator lives in a semi-humid Mediterranean climate with frequent sunshine.

Whether grown indoors or outdoors, the snowy white appearance of the crystals can trick the eye into seeing a Christmas tree – with a gift of plentiful, dense buds to unwrap.
