Ice Cream Haze Wins “Best Growing Product” at Cannabis Industrie Awards 2024

Ice Cream Haze is the product of a joint breeding project between Dutch Passion & Antonio, who has won 35+ cannabis cups over the last 7 years. Antonio is widely regarded as one of the most exciting new breeders with one of Europe’s best independent cannabis ‘mother’ collections of cannabis cup winners. The 2024 Cannabis Industry Award for Best Grow Product was awarded for a painstaking & thorough hand-pollinated breeding process which took several years from start to finish.

Ice Cream Haze cannabis seeds awarded best growing product

Ice Cream Haze is a cross of an elite Crockett’s Haze line with Ice Cream Cake. She is available in photoperiod feminised seeds (as well as regular cannabis seeds) as an XXL yielding sativa strain which takes 8-10 weeks in bloom. THC levels reach 25% with an exceptionally sweet, pungent and aromatic bouquet.

The Cannabis Industrie Awards is an annual event taking place in Eindhoven (The Netherlands). The awards shine a light on entrepreneurs in the Dutch cannabis community, with special attention given to new & innovative projects. These awards are viewed as particularly prestigious due to the high-quality standards and demanding judges.

The Cannabis Industrie judges were hugely impressed with the old-school hand selected and hand pollinated boutique-style breeding approach - unusual in the modern cannabis seed world. This resulted in an exceptional quality Haze strain with an intensely pungent aroma.

The bloom time, of 8-10 weeks, is relatively fast for a Haze of this quality. One particular note to connoisseur growers is the heavy trichome frosting, terpy flavours, THC levels of up to 25% and genuine high-end yields.

Innovative breeding is something that Dutch Passion are well known for. Starting back in the 1990’s when Dutch Passion’s founder Henk van Dalen was the first to create feminised cannabis seeds. Back in 2022 Dutch Passion also took the Cannabis Industrie Award for the cannabis ‘Innovation Of The Year’ with the introduction of Auto THC-Victory, the first commercially available THCV-rich feminised autoflower seed variety.

Ice Cream Haze: a grower’s delight since release

Ice Cream Haze has been a best-seller ever since her introduction. Especially with the more serious & ambitious growers seeking some special cannabis seeds for a connoisseur crop. Made using two hand-selected elite parents known for their consistent heavy-duty effects, Ice Cream Haze combines the holy-grail of branch-bending yields with genuine top-shelf quality levels.

Ice Cream Haze boasts a penetrating and powerful aroma of mainly spicy, hazy notes combined with the trademark sweet, fruity and creamy Gelato x Wedding Cake terpene profile. Some phenotypes have the strong stench of a spicy-yet-fruity haze.

Other phenotypes have a dominant Ice Cream Cake terpene-rich taste, the genetics for this originally came from the Cookie Family. Some plants combine both complementary terpene profiles - these are the real winners in every pack! All the phenotypes produce beautiful buds with a thick velvety layer of trichomes.
