F3 Valley Ice. (Matanuska x SFV OG)

[Farmer's Hat]

That's unbelievable, the potential of outdoor is amazing. I've heard good things about the MTF. The name alone is legendary

Growing outdoors comes with different challenges, but I would say its just as difficult/easy as growing indoors. Genetics is super important when growing outdoors. Indoors you can get away with growing a mediocre plant, but outdoors the elements, pests, etc. will ravage a weak plant.

The MTF really is a hardy strain, considering the fact that it's finishing strong in the northern latitude.

Definitely outdoors is a better test only the strong survive bud 100% agree with you there

A popcorn bud from the Valley Ice, fully cured. Took this sample down at the beginning of the month. The purple faded a bit.

The MTF has been chopped down. She could have gone another week, but the weather is starting to get worrisome.
Its a gorgeous plant. Compact and medium in size, but the flowers are dense and heavy. I found about 5 grams of bud rot. Which is basically nothing.

Harvested Valley Ice Pheno #2. Heavy huge plant. Incredibly sticky. Takes the trophy for most resinous.


I accidentally cut one of the small seeded branches. Ive left all the seeded branches on the plants, and im planning to harvest those at the end of the month. The seeds look ripe but some still need a little more time.

Chopped another plant today. This was the runt of the pack. She ended up pulling through. Very frosty, very leafy. Good hash material.

Here is an update on the indoor clones. After a small flush, they are really starting to fill up. I will have to flip 12/12 in a few days. LST in 2 more days.

One day of growth and the clones look ready for 12/12. The runt that is still reversing will be taken out and replaced with 4 Amnesia Haze seedlings. It will be a learning experience. Ive never started a seedling on 12/12. I Usually veg them for a few weeks before flowering.


Also took 40 cuttings today. Both mothers
needed some heavy pruning.


Thats all for now. Cheers.

Here is a pic of a manicured bud of Valley Ice pheno #1. The purple is a lot darker in person. The curing bag smells like a muffin.

 

[Farmer's Hat]

Manicured purple sativa. Inherited some of the MTF traits. Flower smells sour and kind of spicy. Im planning to hybridize this plant with Silver Haze. Its going to be epic.

 

[Farmer's Hat]

Brandywine manicured. Super leafy strain. All the trim is high grade and excellent for any by product. Smells very sweet, reminiscent of Blueberry.

Day 1 of 12/12.
Amnesia haze seedlings have been moved into the flower tent. I will raise the pots after a few days.
Humidity is finally at a nice level. Staying around 50rh lights on, 75rh lights and fan off. Ive set the the fan to run 30 minutes every hour during lights off.


I took a chunky cutting of Valley Ice#2. Hopefully it roots. If not, thats ok. I have two other clones of that pheno growing and doing well.

Wow,I thought that the rh that high would be bad for PM. I'm sure goes down with fan on but in flower would scare me. You know what you're doing just asking,gotta get setup for mine.
