Kool Whip
Kool Whip
Overview
Kool Whip is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) bred by LIT Farms through crossing Ice Cream Cake #3 and the mysterious Project 4516 strain. Named after the popular dessert topping, this strain lives up to its moniker with a distinctive sweet and creamy flavor profile featuring vanilla, mint, and citrus notes. The strain has gained significant popularity since its creation, particularly on the East Coast where it is distributed by Good Day Farm. Kool Whip is characterized by its dense, frosty buds covered in crystalline trichomes that give them an icy appearance. The buds typically display vibrant green coloration with purple highlights and bright orange pistils. This strain has earned recognition for its balanced effects that combine cerebral euphoria with deep physical relaxation, making it particularly suitable for evening use. The aromatic profile is complex, featuring sweet vanilla and dough-like qualities punctuated by gassy, earthy undertones and occasional pine notes inherited from its parent strains.

Growing Information
Kool Whip is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, requiring some experience with lighting, nutrition, and environmental management. Plants typically grow medium to tall in stature and benefit greatly from training techniques such as LST (Low Stress Training), topping, and SCROG methods. The flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with indoor plants staying relatively compact at 0-4 feet while outdoor plants can reach 5-8 feet. Expected yields are high, potentially reaching up to 450g/m² indoors with moderate outdoor yields. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a preference for dry climates when grown outdoors. Harvest typically occurs in late September to early October for outdoor cultivation. Plants develop dense, resinous buds with exceptional trichome production.
