Ice Cream Sundae
Ice Cream Sundae
Also known as: Ice Cream Zundae
Overview
Ice Cream Sundae is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing Ice Cream Cake and Sundae Driver strains. This modern dessert-category hybrid emerged during the late 2010s dessert cultivar boom, combining the crowd-pleasing sweetness of Sundae Driver with the dense, frosty structure of Ice Cream Cake. The strain is characterized by its dense, fat heart-shaped forest green nugs with golden undertones, thick red-orange hairs, and a heavy coating of chunky amber-tinted white crystal trichomes that give it a distinctive snowy, frosted appearance. Ice Cream Sundae exemplifies the modern dessert hybrid archetype with its creamy-sweet aroma, dense resin coverage, and balanced body-mind effects. The strain has gained significant popularity among both recreational and medical users for its well-rounded effects that provide relaxation without excessive sedation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on dosage.

Growing Information
Ice Cream Sundae is considered moderately easy to grow and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (most commonly 9 weeks), with plants showing modest stretch and short internodes. The strain responds well to training techniques and benefits from dehumidification during flowering. Indoor yields can reach 650g/m² under optimal conditions. Outdoor cultivation is possible in warm climates with harvest ready by mid-October, potentially yielding up to 1100g per plant. The strain prefers temperatures between 70-80°F (20-27°C) and thrives with controlled environmental conditions. Plants develop strong branches and dense, resin-rich buds with heavy trichome coverage. The strain is known for its bag appeal and extraction-grade resin production.
