Vanilla Ice is one of Zambeza’s best-selling Indicas and truly a remarkable strain. It was created by crossing genetics of Northern Lights XL, Skunk, and Afghani. The autoflowering version is simply a crossing between the feminized version of Vanilla Ice, and Ruderalis. Growers will just need to compromise a little bit on THC levels, but will get the fastest turnover of frosted Indica nuggets imaginable, in return.
The most beautiful growing trait of Vanilla Ice is the insane production of resin and crystals during flowering. It will give the whole plant a magnificent appearance and buds really look like as if they would have been frosted. It doesn’t take much time to get there. Vanilla Ice Autoflowering completes its short life cycle in 55-65 days after seeds haven been germinated. It’s not a small strain, with typical indoor heights of 60-90cm, and yields of 300-350g/m². Outdoor growers with a sunny spot can count on 100-175g per plant. It might grow a little taller outdoors but heights of 1m won’t be exceeded.
THC levels might be moderate with 13% but this doesn’t mean that Vanilla Ice produces a weak smoke. In fact, the opposite might be the case. Expect a taste of sugary sweetness, finished by amazingly refreshing aromas of vanilla. The high can be described as deeply relaxing and calming, so smokers will get very, very stoned. It might induce a laughing fit in situations where its not appropriate to laugh, so beware!
This strain is highly recommendable for growers who appreciate frosted nuggets and a short life cycle. Flavours will bring tears of joy to the eyes of Indica- and Hash lovers, just like the feminized version of Vanilla Ice. It’s a tough one to decide between the two versions of Vanilla Ice because they both perform excellent. Choose wisely and create a winter wonderland!

Strain FAQ
What gives some cannabis strains vanilla flavour?
Specific terpenes and vanillin, a phenolic aldehyde not usually a terpene, give certain cannabis strains their vanilla flavours and aromas. The smooth, sweet vanilla flavour comes from this aromatic mix.
Why do Ruderalis auto-flower?
Ruderalis strains bloom according to their age, unlike Sativa and Indica cultivars that flower with light cycle changes. For efficient and consistent growing, this characteristic reportedly simplifies cultivation and provides a predictable growth cycle.
Is controlling pests and disease easier indoors?
Indoor cannabis areas are like fortresses against pests and infections. Legal indoor growers are said to avoid many of the problems that outside farmers experience on a regular basis which reportedly results in healthier plants and purer goods. This is done through strictly controlling who (or what) enters the space and maintaining pristine conditions.
Can short cannabis strains still be high yielding?
Surprisingly, yes! Due to the wonders of breeding there are a large range of high yielding short strains available and more are being released every day!
What does this strain's Central American and Caribbean heritage mean for it?
Unique biodiversity in Central America and the Caribbean affects cannabis strain genetics, resulting in their varied terpene profiles. These traits produce earthy, woody, lemony, and sweet scents and flavours. They create a presence that reflects their' rich natural surroundings.
