Editorial profile
Ice Cool in detail
Origin & classification
Sweet Seeds developed Ice Cool from a line of NYC Diesel and lists it under strain number SWS06. The cohesive strain description classifies it as a sativa-leaning hybrid with a ratio of 40 percent Indica to 60 percent Sativa. This contradicts the category entry stored as indica-dominant. The recorded lineage “India × NYC Diesel” is also not reliable: the description refers only to a selection from a NYC Diesel line, not a cross with a parent called India.
Aroma & flavour
According to the description, the aroma is intense and unusually exotic. A sharp fuel note, sweetness and citrus recur throughout. Diesel forms the distinctive core, while the sweet and citrus tones give the profile a brighter side. The source refers to a strong smell and a clearly pronounced flavour identity. Ice Cool is therefore not among the more restrained strains; rather, its aromatic presence is presented as one of its key characteristics.
Terpene profile
In its growth, the strain combines different characteristics. Flowering growth is described as typical of Indica, while the effects are associated with the Sativa component. The plants are expected to develop vigorous flowers and abundant resin. For indoor cultivation, the data sheet states a flowering time of approximately nine weeks and a yield of 400 to 500 grams per square metre. Outdoors, harvest is expected towards the end of September; the breeder-related description states 350 to 550 grams per plant. Such yields always depend significantly on phenotype, environment and cultivation practices.
Effects
The sources repeatedly describe the effects as euphoric, clear, intense and long-lasting. Another description highlights an energetic, mentally alert character. The term “psychedelic” also comes from the source material, but should be understood as a subjective characterisation rather than a guaranteed effect. The data sheet gives 20 to 22 percent THC and approximately 0.7 percent CBD; these breeder-related laboratory or strain values may vary between phenotypes and batches.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
Ice Cool has also received awards at several competitions. These include first places at the Copa Lanzarote 2007 and the Copa del Mar in Argentina 2011, as well as further placements in Spain, Italy and Argentina. This competition history, the distinctive diesel-citrus aroma and the heavy resin coverage explain why the strain has such a clearly defined profile within the Sweet Seeds range.
