How to grow Vanilla Ice

Vanilla Ice — Zambeza Seeds

Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Northern Lights, Skunk and Afghani combine into an Indica-dominant plant so frost-laden the breeders renamed her mid-project, after the crystals rather than the rapper. Compact at 80 to 110cm indoors, she rewards topping and pinching with a decent yield — resin is very much the point here.

Growing Vanilla Ice: what to expect

Feminized photoperiod stock. You control when she flowers, which is a responsibility as much as a convenience; the light schedule guide keeps you on the right side of it.

Flowering is done in roughly 8 weeks. The calendar will suit the impatient; the flowering notes will suit everyone.

Short and orderly — around 90 cm at full stretch. Small-space growers, this is your candidate; the setup guide covers making the most of a modest footprint.

Expect 550 – 600 g/m² — a working grower's yield, reliable rather than theatrical. The harvest guide will see it in safely.

The listed THC is 17% — the gentler end of the scale, stated plainly. Harvest timing moves the needle more than most growers realise.
