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
How can cannabis terpenes create sweet flavours?
These strains' sweetness comes from terpene synergy. Terpenes working together can provide a variety of flavours that evoke sweet fruits, sweets, and candies.
How have indica strains adapted to the cold environmental conditions?
The tight, compact buds of indica strains are more than just attractive—they protect against the cold. This compact bud structure keeps cold, damp air out, preventing mould and keeping plants healthy in cold weather.
Do short cannabis strains all taste and smell a certain way?
No! There are a variety of smells and flavours within the range we have here. There's anything from sweet and fruity to earthy and pungent!
How big are Ruderalis plants compared to other cannabis strains?
Ruderalis plants generally grow 20–25 inches tall and are compact. Ruderalis' modest size is due to its adapations to the windy circumstances in its native areas.
Why are auto-flowering strains recommended for beginners?
Auto-flowering strains are reportedly preferred by novices since they age without light cycle modifications and naturally flower. This is said to make them easier to develop under different conditions. Their shorter development cycle makes everything much quicker and avoids the waiting period with 12/12 strains.
