Grow Tips

Growing Ice Cream Cake, an indica-dominant cannabis strain, can be very rewarding, especially because of its unique aroma and powerful effects. Here are some specific tips to help you successfully cultivate this demanding strain:

1. Climate control

Temperature:
Maintain ideal temperatures between 20-26°C during the day and slightly cooler at night to promote the typical color development of this variety.

Humidity:
Keep humidity around 40-60% during the vegetative phase and reduce it to 30-40% during the flowering phase to reduce the risk of mold and mildew.

2. Lighting
Use high-quality LED or HPS lamps to provide an adequate amount of light necessary for vigorous growth and flower production.

Consider a lighting schedule of 18 hours light and 6 hours dark during the vegetative phase and switch to 12 hours light / 12 hours dark when the flowering phase begins.

3. Soil and fertilization

Well-drained soil is crucial. A mix of organic soil, perlite and compost can provide a good base.Fertilize regularly with a balanced NPK fertilizer during the growth phase and increase phosphorus and potassium during the flowering phase to maximize flower production.

4. Pruning and training

Techniques such as LST (Low Stress Training) or topping can help make the plant bushier and allow for a more even distribution of light. This promotes larger and healthier buds.

Remove unproductive lower shoots to concentrate energy on the upper colas.

5. Water requirements

Be sure to practice good water management to avoid overwatering, as Ice Cream Cake can be sensitive to too much moisture in the root zone. The soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings.

6. Pest and disease management

Keep an eye out for pests like spider mites and aphids, as well as signs of fungal infections. Preventative measures like using neem oil can help keep these pests at bay.

Ensure good ventilation to prevent the accumulation of moisture and resulting mold problems.

7. Harvest time

The optimal harvest time can be determined by observing the trichomes. The trichomes should ripen from clear to milky white or light amber, indicating maximum potency.

These specialized growing tips should help you to reach the full potential of Ice Cream Cake, both in terms of quality and quantity of buds. Good luck with your grow!‍
