:hump: So o'k im finally back with my newest grow and i hope this all goes well, got my Ice beans from Nirvana on the 5th and germed them all did'nt have a great germ rate only 5 out of ten and from those i got three sprouts. They are now at the 2 1/2 week mark from germ and sprout and looking pretty healthy so far,just started them on grow nutes and super thrive today and put them under the MH 400 and replanted into 3 gallon bags..

I'll be using cutting edge solutions all the way through for nutes and some mollasses as well beginning the last week of veg..
Im going to veg for another three weeks at least..
So, come one come all with any feed back you wish to share if you've grown this strain before..:joint:

What is up Ataxia? been awhile my friend hows life treating you? hey glad to have you back as well and be sure to let me know when you drop those beans so i can check you out,,I like the choises you have..As for the BLZ it was off the hook everyone that i allowed to come in contact with my stash was blown away and yes i'll be doing another larger grow with BLZ real soon..I've always wanted to try the strawberryblue jsut havent because of the sativa side to it they say it gets pretty tall..The Ice is supposed to be very good all around smoke powerful and a fast finisher flowering around 43-51 days as most other growing can atest to..

Hey thanks man. Ya I'm glad to be home. Bean Town shit...more like beaner town. My son let rip 7 more songs to finish his album. Going to dist it to about a dozen labels and see if any of them are interested.

I'm pretty familiar with the strain, Ill post a link to my grow and smoke report. Its def one of the favorites around here. From a growers perspective it great because it finishes so fast too. You can get most of the info from the report, but I'll be glad to answer any questions if I can. Placed an order a couple of weeks ago with Seed Boutique for a couple of packs of Mental Floss and checked my cc statement tonight and no charges yet...wtf

Hey bro hows it going. Your getting really good growth, especially for the length of time that they have been in there....that's awesome.

Ice has an interesting lineage, my cut is sativa dom and I try and get as many bud sites on the upper half of the plant as I can. What are you seeing for phenos? The front one has pretty broad leaves, but are the leaves a little thinner on the plant in the back? If indica I would top and turn it into two three or four main colas and make sure you strip the bottom third after the 1st and 3rd week of flowering. If sativa def top and train and in both cases what I do is use string and good tape. Once your new growth is long enough use the string to spread the colas apart a bit and if sativa, tie those bitches down and promote as many upper bud sites as you can :) so yes I would top them now fer sure!!

Say highlander thanks once again i was at a cross road here and that helps a lot as for the pheno's two of them are really fat leaf only one is a runt the other is bushy as hell and about 8" so far the last plant is very tall about 12" so far and much more space between nodes yet the leaves are still very indica like that one i think stretched a bit under the cfl's early i think ill fem that one for now and top the others maybe twice before flipping the 12/12 switch what do yo think? I just found me a beautiful amoire at the thrift shop dude for f*****g 26 bucks outstanding shit it is larger then the box i have now and im going to use it on my next grow and do maybe a 10 to 12 plant scrogg set up..It's 6' ht x 2'w x 3'L and she is nice ill post pic's of here soon..peace
