I apologize for my absence from the board, but I was out of town on business, being unable to log on except at night to respond to word emails. But, the week flew by, and the Mini Ice Queen (MIQ) still received good TLC. She seems to have grown maybe another inch or 2, and her buds are filling in pretty good with some visible trichomes sprouting all over.
The only problem I have with the MIQ is shown in pictures 9 and 10, where it looks like I may have a bit of an insect problem? There is a "trail" on one of the nearest fan leaves that looks like a burn mark. Anyone have any insight as to what may have caused that? I figure the yellowing of some of the lower fan leaves is caused by my past aggressive use of Superthrive, which I will back off some.
As for nutrients, I think I am going to add some Green Light Super Bloom since MIQ has continued to flower. Even though she is smallish, I figure I might as well begin to provide her some flowering nutes so that the buds she is developing will be more robust. Anyone have any comments or advice as to such a move? I figure I will only use about 1/4 to 1/2 strength, as I've been informed through replies and threads on this great board.
I hope all is well with everyone, and I look forward to your comments, constructive criticism, and/or suggestions. I also look forward to catching up with other's threads now that I am back home.
Y'all be good out there! Now, on with the pictures. I hope you enjoy.
Day 44

great pics jake! :clap:
Nice thread and useful! :thumbsup:
greenatik, my friend, your compliment is well taken, especially since your pics of your buds are amazing! I have seen no other capture the pistil afro as well as you. Thanks again!Quote:

At the end of the day, I could really care less what strain she is - she is developing nicely, and it is a singular joy to assist her in her growth, or at least not stand in the way of it.
I will try not to bump this thread again until my next photo update. And, I hope to begin either a new grow log, or an addition to this log with a few Nirvana PPP, Papaya, New Purple Power, and whatever the freebie may be. Ok, I admit it, I am without a doubt addicted to growin' the green.
Thanks and have a great night/day!
Man those plants look great. How many grows have you done so far?
I'm hoping to have a set of pretty healthy plants like that for my next grow. Starting in a few weeks :D.

About the Queen; from what you have posted I think you may be right. The growth is very lowrider-esque and I wouldn't put it far from logic that there may be some earlygirl and/or lowrider genetics somewhere in there. Either way, she is a beauty of a girl, and looks very happy. Fantastic job on taking care of her and all the work you've put into her to allow her to thrive. I have no real doubt that she will be quite powerful and a pleasure to partake! Best of luck as she continues to grow, and I look forward to tracking her progress and any others you begin to log.
~Cheers!

daihashi, it's good to see you, my friend. This is really only my 1st grow, even though I had tried a quick grow back in college - before the advent of the internet when I had no access to such a large cache of information and experienced growers as are available on this great board! I have not done all too much, as you will see from reading above to have MIQ be such a beautiful lady. She is a hardy strain - Mighty Freeze, which I will give some background and information on below. Good luck with your next grow, and I look forward to following your next log!Quote:

I thank you for your interest in my grow, as well as for allowing me to pick your brain from time to time. You are very kind, and I look forward to reviewing your and Stinky's dialogue after a few puffs, as it really blows my mind!Quote:

Out of curiosity, and since not many folks had heard of a "Mighty Freeze" strain, I used one of the most powerful tools known to man, "Google," to see what I could discover about it. I don't know if anyone following my grow log is interested in what I discovered, but for posterity's sake I thought I would include this information.
Mighty Freeze is a cross between Mighty Mite and Friesland. I also discovered it is an autoflowering strain. All of such information was discovered on other boards through the logs and information from fellow growers. I also read briefly that someone else had experienced a Mighty Freeze crop being stunted. Both of these bits of information shed some light on my experience in my first grow. I still don't quite understand why she is stunted, and I had attributed the early flowering partially to an autoflowering possibility; but, it's now nice to know that indeed she is an autoflowerer.
In the end, it does appear my lil' lady is a Mighty Freeze, and so she shall retain her nickname of the Mini Ice Queen or MIQ. I need to get better at the naming stuff, eh?
I'll update tomorrow with some pictures. I began lst'ing her Tuesday late afternoon, and her bottom leaves have already begun reaching for the sun. I hope it will help her to become more robust since her growth was stunted.
I hope all is well with everyone. Aloha
So, the MIQ has lived for 50 days since rooting, and this is her 26th day of flower. She appears pretty healthy despite all of my interference with her growth.
She also seems to be enjoying the lst'ing, which you will note I accomplished just by hooking a large paper clip around her upper stalk and securing it to the lip of the bucket. Her lower branches are really reaching for the sun, even though this is only about her 3rd day of the lst. I had previously been twisting her stalk, and I lst'ed her the day of a pretty good rain, so her stalk took easily to its newly mandated direction.
Every few days I am adding about 1/2 of the recommended dosage of Green Light Super Bloom, but that has been the extent of her nutes for awhile.
Alright, enough of the talk - let's get to the pictures. I am going to try to upload them using this board's system. Let's see how this works. I'll upload 1/2 to this post, and the other 1/2 will be in the following post.
Everyone be good out there!
Here are the rest of the pictures from today's update.
Enjoy and Aloha
