ICE** pics

[jchap]

nothing really to look at yet

but i will be updating occasionally thu there life

as i have done with some other strains

mainly for my benefit but for anyone else growing this strain or is interested :)

[jchap]

the reason for the shallow soil

as the plant grows i will top it up

allowing for some stretch

[dj00140]

arnt you worried about them becoming root bound with the shallow pot?

[Hennessy1414]

ill be watching! :rastasmoke:

[jchap]

arnt you worried about them becoming root bound with the shallow pot?

they'll be going in bigger pots after a few weeks

[grey1223]

I've grown the ICE. Pretty good yielder and buzz.

[hydrocannabis]

so is the ice realy as cristaly as they say?

Are you worried about stagnant air in there? I hear some bad things can start up like that.

What about when you start getting nodes, how are you going to keep filling then? The roots are still going to be below that first soil level. I imagine in time they'd eventually grow above that line and into the added soil but would be rootbound at that point.

I think it might be better if you pick a smaller pot for now (like dixie cups with holes) and bring the soil more level to the top of the cup/pot, and then transplant when you need to. From what I understand, while transplanting is something that has some risk to it if not done properly, it's something necessary at some point and can be extremely beneficial as long as you plan it right and do it right.

Starting off your seedlings, they're in a very clean soil right? Well they'll start growing and need nutrients from different and new soil right? So wouldn't you rather transplant out of a smaller container into a larger one with better/more appropriate soil for your plants age once they start growing and are needing more nutrients and aren't seedlings anymore?

[jchap]

the pots are near full now

just the first few days the soil is low

the best way is to post a pic in a few days to show you

i understand where your commin from ;)

i reckon the roots will grow right up too them first 2 round leaves

[jchap]

before and after pics

also when the seed has germinated i just put the shoot in a hole in the soil and rest the seed on the top

only because sometimes the thing dont sprout overwise

anyone else tried this method

seems to work 100%

[Rusty Trichome]

I've buried the stretching seedling every seed grow for years.
But I do bury the seed, under a layer of soil as deep as the seed is thick. Don't want air pruning (drying-out the fine roots) before she even gets started. :jointsmile:

[jchap]

update: still babies !

excuse the plant food on me foot :wtf:

[dj00140]

nice u got any pics of ur grow area?

[Mr. Clandestine]

What are you using as a light source? Judging from the stretching, and seeing that after nearly two weeks you're just starting on your second pair of leaves, I think you might want to consider adding another light or two to the fray. It's difficult for seedlings to get an even distribution of light when using larger pots right from the start. Starting seedlings out in smaller, shallower pots will allow you to direct more life-giving light over a smaller area.

For seedlings, I prefer to use 4" pots, and just keep them lit with 4-23w CFLs for the first week. The seedlings in the pic below are only on their fourth day from popping out of the soil. In another couple of days, I'll throw a 400w MH into the mix, and they'll really start to take off. Soon after that, they'll be rootbound and ready to go into slightly larger pots, where they'll reside throughout the rest of veg.

[jchap]

thanks or the concern :)

but their only 1 week old, in 2-3 days they'll go under a 400w hps

the added pics where grown the same way, but these do seem slower

Awesome man! I hope I didn't come across as condescending, as this definitely wasn't my intention. I also thought they were a bit older than they are, so please accept my humble apologies for jumping the gun. ;) And those Rhino's look great! You can't see it too well in my picture, but I've got a newly rooted White Rhino clone in the top right corner. Planning on making a mother out of her.

Good luck with the Ice, and enjoy those Rhino's! :jointsmile:

[jchap]

hey np's man, i appreciate the suggestions and have decide to start em in smaller pots next grow :thumbsup:

good luck with yours as well

;)

forgot to mention the seedlings in that pic are diffrent ages, some of the seeds took ages to sprout

[high4tenyears]

would love to try the bud

[jchap]

a bit stretched because they ain't under the lamp properly as i have some close to harvest

soon they get the whole lamp to themselves

[jchap]

i expect or should i say hope that the stretch will fill out with bud

if you check my last w/rhino they seemed stretched aswell

[weedmann]

yes,I have 2 ice and one bublelicious growing under a 150w hps and three compact flourescent bulbs. I trained them so they wouldstay low due to limited height space but here they are:smokin:

[ultimatefreak48]

Well... those are lookin mighty pretty if ya ask me.

[jchap]

nice, looks like you have little time to go till the chop

[jchap]

baby buds and thc just forming :D

[Technique2]

Looks IMPRESSIVE! Aside from your Horticultural skills, I really like your photography skills as well:thumbsup:

[jchap]

thnx bruv:thumbsup: +1

[jchap]

hmm this thread seems to be missing a couple of posts?

anyway one bitch died, when i dug down the soil was really compacted so i quess she suffocated, strange cause she got the same water as the others

3 plants remain, 5 weeks to chop:hippy:

r.i.p little plant:(

[jchap]

plant 1:rastasmoke:

[jchap]

plant 2:hippy:

[jchap]

plant 3:pimp:

[jchap]

anyone wanna guess the yield?

[the image reaper]

very healthy looking plants, congratulations :thumbsup: I would recommend larger pots, though, #5 is a good indoor size ... the larger the root-ball, the bigger the yield :jointsmile:

[jchap]

do you think it's worth it with only 5 weeks to go?

the large plant is in a bigger pot than the other smaller 2

thanks tho

[weedmann]

thanks thono!it is what is now,you dont want to stress your plant during flowering hermies can occur also it will prolongs the flowering time

[jchap]

no!it is what is now,you dont want to stress your plant during flowering hermies can occur also it will prolongs the flowering time

:thumbsup:

i'll post some with the light off soon

looking promising

[daihashi]

no!it is what is now,you dont want to stress your plant during flowering hermies can occur also it will prolongs the flowering time

I'm not sure why everyone is so scared to transplant during flowering.

Transplants for me are very seamless. The plants generally continue to grow as if nothing even happened. I've transplanted twice this time around during flowering.

No hermies..

It does slow down flowering slightly though.

[jchap]

taken today

buds expanding

[jchap]

the aroma is amazing, can't wait

[twitch]

damn good looking plants... no amazing looking plants very healthy

when i first saw this thread i figured it was some jack ass who
looked on BDS.com and saw ice and was like cool i'll say thats whats i am growing

but ur plants are showing crazy resin production

[anbesol]

Hows the Bud Aroma?

thanks for the positive commment

there ice for sure bought from nirvana seeds, only problem was i only got 2 females from 10 seeds, but the 2 i got seem to be thriving

2 females at £10 each is still a bargain so im happy

[jchap]

Hows the Bud Aroma?

smells of candy and petrol atm, my whole bedroom smells luvly

[bigjohnson688]

so if i guess the how much you get do i get a prize or a bud mabe!! any way i bet you will get 3 and 3/4.....almost a quater pound dry weight!!! my eyes are like scales:rastasmoke::rasta::thumbsup::):jointsmile:: smokin::pimp::stoned::cool:;):hippy::wtf::D

[jchap]

like diesel some real stankt shit,jchap how long did u flower for weeks or days and did you check the tricomes before you chop

[jchap]

plant 3 is the smallest and also has 5-6 weeks:jointsmile:

[bigjohnson688]

i was just wondering what is the size of your grow space?and are you still running a 400w hps?

[Love2Chief]

how tall is that sexy female#1? she looks powerful tasty:thumbsup:

[jchap]

i was just wondering what is the size of your grow space?and are you still running a 400w hps?

still using 400w hps

grow space is about 1 and half metres length, 4 foot wiidth, and about 12 feet tall

[jchap]

how tall is that sexy female#1? she looks powerful tasty:thumbsup:

she's a metre and a foot

[bigjohnson688]

dam 12 foot high..you could grow a monster in there lol..this might sound stupid but is a meter like 3 feet?or what..not to good with the whole metric system

BIG

[HBcubs2]

leaves yellowing right on schedule:thumbsup:

[bigjohnson688]

dam brotha i think i might of guessed a little low on the waight....keep up the good work

[jchap]

[jchap]

Congrate's on the Up Coming Harvest, Look's Like Some Awesome Sweet Bud!!!!Happy Smoke'n!!!!:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:

thanks mate;)

[jchap]

cut a sample 10 days before harvest, will dry and cure it properly, just to see what it's like

trichs are mostly clear with a couple amber, no cloudy yet

4 harvests and i never seen clear and amber?. usually cloudy and amber

i have a feeling she might finnish a week early? another first for me

anyone else had a plant finnish early?, i haven't yet

[jchap]

:rasta::stoned::rastasmoke::smokin::D

[jchap]

pic of the sample dried, needs a little cure before i smoke it

will probably harvest one plant in 2-3 days

trichs are all cloudy with a couple of amber, well dark brown they are?

harvest pics very soon:D

anyone else had dark brown trichs???

[bigjohnson688]

man that stuff looks killer..cant wait till mine is done

[jchap]

more pics

[jchap]

last pic, should i be concerned about the yellow leaves on the top cola ???

[bigjohnson688]

na bro the yellowing is norm in the final stages of flowering..thay should be lacking in nitroget now

[bigjohnson688]

and it would be cool if you take a pictuer be side something like a can or mesuering tape,for some refrenc,because thay look huge

[jchap]

pre chop

buds weight is bending the branches

[jchap]

r.i.p

[SFGurrilla]

How bads your appartment reak?

[jchap]

not to bad at the moment, no worse than when alive, but i bet they'll stink in a few days time

[stinkyattic]

That yellowing in the pic is from heat/light burn, not N deficiency.
If you are at all trichs at least cloudy, with some (10%) amber, you are ready to go. IF you wait longer, the high will become more heavy and body-oriented. It's a matter of your personal taste at this point.
Git 'er done! They look great! :jointsmile:

[jchap]

i'd say all cloudy with 20% amber, well really dark amber

the sample bud i cut 2 weeks ago blew me away, so i figured she'd be done

dry and cure pics soon:rastasmoke:

[jchap]

BTW is it common for the buds to hang down so far? ( see pre chop pics above) bending the branches

[stinkyattic]

Yeah, strains with really flexible branches can be staked, tied, or even woven into a fishing net for support. I run a couple like that that drive me nuts, lol.

[jchap]

some half dry pics

[jchap]

2nd plants harvest:D

[jchap]

:):jointsmile::thumbsup:

[HBcubs2]

J that was a perfectly fine extension cord :D

[jchap]

lol, no string:pimp:

[jchap]

last plant is a white rhino

been smoking the ice and im really impressed with it, very low anxiety and paranoia

usually after a smoke i stay in untill i come down before venturing outside

but this ice is diffrent, not bothered about being stoned in public

outa bubblichus, white rhino and ice, ice wins by far

pic below has been curing 2 days;)

[jchap]

next im doing the CHEESE or G's

[jchap]

final plant, white rhino r.i.p

[anbesol]

Holy Shit Dude! Congrats on That! How Does She Smell??? That is a beautiful, resinated plant!
