Purple Ice Water S1 by Smokedisco
Indica Landrace Strains
Purple Ice Water S1 is an indica-dominant strain developed by Smokedisco during the early 2010s, noted for its potent relaxing effects and striking visual appearance. This variety was meticulously bred for both aesthetic qualities and robust indica-dominant characteristics.
Appearance
Purple Ice Water S1 buds are typically dense and compact, often displaying deep purple and violet coloration, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures. They are characterized by a thick, white, crystalline layer of trichomes that gives them a frosted appearance, contributing to the strain's name and indicating high resin production. The plant structure is generally robust, with sturdy stems and vibrant green leaves that can also show purple hues along the edges as the plant matures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Purple Ice Water S1 is complex, starting with a subtle, refreshing coolness reminiscent of iced water. Underlying this are delicate floral and earthy notes, often described as including lavender and hints of pine. The scent intensifies during curing, with community reviews and lab assessments noting a stable compound blend. The flavor profile offers a fusion of sweetness and earthiness, beginning with cool mint and subtle fruitiness that evolves into richer, deeper tastes. Many liken it to a berry margarita with earthy undertones, complemented by lingering notes of vanilla and spicy pine, with a refreshing minty overtone.
Effects
This indica-dominant strain is primarily recognized for its strong, relaxing, and sedative effects. Early anecdotal reports and user statistics suggest a significant preference for its calming properties, with many experiencing potent effects shortly after consumption. It is often favored for its ability to induce a sense of calm and relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The strain's distinct aroma and flavor are attributed to its terpene profile, which includes Myrcene, Linalool, and Pinene. These compounds contribute to its signature scent of lavender, pine, and earthy notes. While specific cannabinoid percentages beyond the general THC and CBD levels are not detailed, the strain is noted for its cannabinoid balance, contributing to its sensory experience and effects.
Growing
Purple Ice Water S1 is bred for robust growth characteristics, with a genetic composition estimated to be 70-80% indica. The meticulous breeding process, often involving controlled pollination in greenhouses, aims for genetic consistency, stable yield, and disease resistance. Growers have noted its thick bud structure and high yield ratio per plant. While specific flowering times are not detailed, its indica dominance suggests a potentially moderate to long flowering period typical for the type.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Smokedisco in the early 2010s, Purple Ice Water S1 is the result of intensive genetic selection and experimentation. It is primarily an indica-dominant strain, likely incorporating landrace indica genetics refined over generations. The breeding focused on maximizing resin production, sensory appeal, and potent indica effects, while also experimenting with hybrid vigor to achieve its unique characteristics and appearance. Its lineage is noted for contributing to its rich purple hues and visually striking, frosty buds.
