Alaskan Ice is one of the strongest cannabis plants ever bred. A new addition to the already rich Green House Seed Company catalogue, it is a cross of original Green House White Widow and Pure Haze. Arjan developed this strain with a large F1 selection process followed by a backcrossing to the original selected White Widow father of the F1. The strain comes in the feminized version and it is very stable. Few differentiations can appear as phenotypes due to environmental influences, but overall the strain is extremely uniform. This variation represents a very famous strain, with a new kick. The plants have a structure that is slightly stretchier than the White Widow, with a typical pine-tree shape. The internode is quite stable and averages 12-15 centimeters. Leaves are pointier than the White Widow, and less overlapping, a true sign of the sativa character of this plant. The strain has all the well known characteristics of the White Widow, with a much higher THC content and a very sativa-like effect, energizing and very trippy. CBD level is also very high at over 1%, giving it a complete physical effect that follows the first burst of high. Flowering time on this strain is 9 weeks, just one week longer than the original White Widow. The Alaskan Ice is suitable for indoor, outdoor and greenhouse. The plant is quite resistant to botrytis and to pests.
In indoor hydro systems the production can reach 700-800 grams per square meter. Outdoor expect production up to 800 grams per plant with fully developed specimens (up to 2,5 meters high and very branchy).
The Alaskan Ice can be fed quite a bit, with an EC level up to 2.2 in hydro systems (regular flush required). A little extra Iron and Manganese during the last week of vegetative growth will enhance flower development later on. The plant also enjoys a good extra shot of Magnesium during the resin-production weeks of end flowering.
The taste of the Alaskan Ice is spicy and hazy, with a very well balanced bouquet in between the White Widow and the Haze flavors. The quantity of resin glands is truly impressive, they just cover up the entire bud surface and allow great hash-making, even just from trim.
The best way to enjoy the Alaskan Ice is in a vaporizer, where all the aromas and terpenes are undisturbed by the combustion process.
This strain has been a real hit on the Green House menu for a couple of years
