Indica Crystal Extreme (ICE) is a resin-covered indica-dominant hybrid, the result of crossing Afghan, Northern Light, and Skunk strains. Ideal for hash makers, it shines with a coat of trichomes by bloom's end, making it Royal Queen Seeds' top pick for hash production.
ICE is an indica-dominant plant that grows to 100cm indoors and up to 200cm outdoors, with potential for higher yield through pinching and topping. It thrives in warm climates, mimicking conditions of Spain or California, and produces about 400–450g/m² indoors and 500–550g/plant outdoors under optimal conditions.
Ready after 8 weeks of flowering, many prefer to wait until 10 weeks to enhance resin content. Despite its compact size, ICE is a generous producer and provides a visually stunning crop.
ICE offers a soothing, heavy indica effect with a balanced flavor profile of spice, earth, and a hint of mint. It's particularly noted for producing top-quality hash, making it a favorite among concentrate enthusiasts.
