Ice Princess

One might think that calling a strain Ice Princess might mean that she was cold and uninviting, however that can’t be further from the truth with this gem. This strain by Brothers Grimm Seeds of Colorado was created by crossing Cinderella 99 and White Widow and gets her name from her crystallized appearance. The high is one of upbeat silliness and deep, euphoric sleep – the best of both worlds according to most.

Though the THC range isn’t necessarily one that will blow you out of the water, the effects are strong and desirable by most standards. These tropically flavored, skunky buds are minty green and completely enveloped in white crystalline trichomes. It takes a close eye to even see the orange hairs that lie beneath. As mentioned, the flavors and aromas lean toward tropical notes, despite its snowy appearance. They are fruit forward, with hints of skunk and spice.

The high is fast acting and after just a hit or two, you will feel tingles throughout your head, creeping down the back of your neck and into your core. Enjoy these deeply soothing effects as the energetic sativa starts to take hold. The initial onset is somewhat jazzed, giving you the feeling that you might want to get up and move around, however, that is short lived. This phase fades quickly into a strong sense of calm in both your body and mind and will have you drifting in and out of consciousness for hours.

Whether you are a recreational user or a medical user, the strong sedating effects are highly beneficial in the fight against pain, insomnia, inflammation, and in some cases muscle spasms and tension. You’ll feel your whole body release as you slip into couch lock mode and the aches start to disappear. For those who struggle with mood disorders, these properties are also helpful as they tend to uplift your spirits and mellow out stressors in patients with chronic depression, stress, bipolar, anxiety, and even fatigue caused by restless leg syndrome or night terrors.

This strain fairs best indoors, though growing outdoors is not entirely off the table. Extra light can increase the yield without much more effort put into the crop. The flowering time is around 8 to 10 weeks and is best suited in the soil. These plants grow to medium to tall heights, so pruning is probably best if you are growing inside. Additionally, if you are in need of discretion you’ll want to invest in a smell proof set up as Ice Princess plants are quite pungent.

Her looks will dazzle you, her smell will seduce you, but really it’s the effects that will keep you coming back for more. If you suffer in any way from sleeplessness you’ll understand how truly important it is to find a bud that works for you. Enjoy this one at night after a long day and feel ultra refreshed the next morning.
