Sugary selections: The strains

This month, we've got several sweet strains that are sure to blow your mind—in more ways than one. Allow us to take you through the sugary selections on offer.

Ice Cream Cake

Kicking off our list of delicious dessert strains is Ice Cream Cake. Formed from a tasty union of Wedding Cake and Gelato #33, this indica-dominant strain is packed full of flavour and primed to perform in your grow-op! Reaching medium heights, all it takes is a swift 8–9 weeks of flowering indoors before Ice Cream Cake is ready to unleash colossal yields of up to 550g/m². Meanwhile, outdoor plants can deliver huge returns of up to 1,000g each in late September or early October! With THC levels peaking at around 22%, Ice Cream Cake is quick to chill you out with blissful and relaxing sensations. All the while, you’ll be delighted by delicious flavours of cream and butter with hints of vanilla and sugary sweetness.

While the photoperiod feminized version of Ice Cream Cake offers up an easygoing growing experience, there's an autoflowering version available that's sure to suit all growers. Taking just 9–10 weeks from germination to harvest, Ice Cream Cake Automatic showcases impressive yields of 500g/m² indoors and around 160g/plant outside—all while providing the same great flavours, aromas, and effects that growers have come to expect from this particular cultivar.

Georgia Pie

Straight from the States, Georgia Pie is the culmination of some outstanding US genetics in the form of Gelatti and Kush Mints. Expect some great flavours and effects wrapped up in an easygoing growing experience. Georgia Pie can reach heights of 130cm indoors and can even exceed 200cm when left to flourish outdoors. Expect some hefty yields after 8–10 weeks of flowering—up to 500g/m² indoors and 500g/plant outdoors. Packing 20% THC, Georgia Pie is pretty potent but not overwhelming, producing a serene high that will leave users feeling relaxed, soothed, and social. Flavour-wise, this strain is full of gloriously sweet and fruity notes embellished with moments of berries, gelato, and gas.

While the original Georgia Pie is unlikely to cause any headaches in the grow-op, the autoflowering version presents an even more accessible option. After 10–11 weeks from germination, you'll be met with some impressive yields. Expect up to 600g/m² indoors and up to 210g/plant outdoors, all while retaining the same flavours, aromas, and effects.

Not only impressing in the grow-op, Gelonade showcases zingy hits of citrus with an undertone of sweetness and spice that's perfect for vaping, smoking, and creating delicious edibles.
