Cultivating Ice Cream Cake Autoflowering Seeds requires attention to detail and specific environmental conditions to ensure successful growth. Growers can opt for either indoor or outdoor cultivation, but it’s crucial to maintain optimal conditions to avoid any problems during the plant’s development. Next up are some key guidelines for cultivating Ice Cream Cake Autoflowering Seeds.

Indoor Cultivation

• Use a quality substrate such as perlite, peat, or coco coir for moisture retention.
• Employ the ScrOG (Screen of Green) method to obtain a uniform plant canopy and increase the size of lower flowers.
• Provide a wide, vertical space for the plants and use LED lighting, an air extractor, and a carbon filter to maintain a conducive indoor environment.
• Keep daytime temperatures between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit and nighttime temperatures seven to nine degrees cooler.
• Maintain relative humidity (RH) levels at 55%-60% during the vegetative phase and reduce it to around 40% during the flowering phase, eventually reducing it to 30% by harvest time.

Outdoor Cultivation

• Sow the cannabis seeds in April for harvest in mid-October in the northern hemisphere.
• Ensure the plants receive ample hours of sunshine and choose a location with favorable sunlight exposure.

Flowering Stages of Ice Cream Cake Autoflowering Cannabis Plants

After the germination and vegetative stages, Ice Cream Cake Autoflowering cannabis plants enter the flowering stage, typically around the 5th to 7th week from germination. The initial stage of flowering is marked by the appearance of small, white hairs at the nodes of the plants, signaling the onset of the flowering phase.

This early flowering period usually lasts for one to two weeks as the plants transition into the next stage. Subsequently, the plants enter the mid-flowering stage, typically occurring during weeks 4 to 6 of the flowering process. At this stage, the plants exhibit significant growth in their bud sites, with the development of numerous calyxes and an increase in resin production.

The trichomes become more pronounced, and the buds continue to gain density and mass, gradually maturing as they approach the final stage of flowering. The late flowering stage, occurring around weeks 7 to 9, is characterized by the maturation of the buds, with the pistils transitioning from white to darker hues, indicating the optimal time for harvest. During this phase, the buds become increasingly resinous, emitting a pungent aroma and reaching their peak potency as the plants near the end of their flowering cycle. This progression through the distinct flowering stages culminates in the development of high-quality, resinous buds with the distinctive traits and flavors characteristic of Ice Cream Cake Autoflowering cannabis plants.

Harvesting the Ice Cream Cake Autoflowering Strain

The best time to harvest the Ice Cream Cake Autoflowering cannabis plants is usually around 8 to 9 weeks after the start of the flowering stage, although this varies depending on the specific phenotype and growing conditions. Most growers determine the readiness for harvest by closely inspecting the trichomes with a magnifying tool. When the trichomes transition from a milky white color to a more opaque amber hue, it signals that the plants are reaching peak THC levels, implying the ideal time for harvest.

In cases where most of the pistils have darkened and curled inwards, observing the pistils can also provide valuable insight into harvest readiness. For a successful harvest, it is recommended to harvest the plants in the morning, when the resin content is at its highest. After carefully cutting the plants, they should be hung upside down in a dark, well-ventilated room with temperatures around 70°F to 80°F and humidity levels maintained between 45% to 55% to facilitate the drying process. Once the plants have dried adequately, the buds can be carefully trimmed and cured in airtight containers, allowing them to develop their full flavor and potency.
