I have lurked about, reading and digesting as much of the information on here that I could within the past week or 2 that I have been a member of this great forum. I will try not to bug anyone with a bunch of questions, and along this line I figured one of the best ways to learn while not stepping on anyone's toes would be through posting and sharing my own log.

Yeah - she's my only plant, for the time being. A friend of mine has promised to provide me with as many seeds as I should ever need. I can't wait to have a whole bunch of little ones laying around outside! But, the Freeze will probably be a very big sister by the time her little sisters come along. She seems to be doing well as an only child though.

And, thanks, hydrocannabis, for confirming the Freeze is in fact a girly girl! That is really good news, especially since she's my only plant.

Alright, here is the anxiously awaited, at least for me, update on the Freeze, which now that she is getting larger I have taken to call the "Ice Queen." She seems to be doing well. Although I have seen several people on here mention Superthrive in a negative manner, it is the only additional nutrient I have added, other than my initial foul up with bone meal and blood meal - I think I added these too early on, especially considering the soil is Miracle Grow.

I have a few questions for the experienced growers, which is about everyone else in this forum other than me. They are as follows:

1) Is the Ice Queen a hermaphrodite? I noticed a few "pods" at the base of a few nodes (see pictures 7, 8, and 9), and for some reason they look like the nuts; of course, I hope I am wrong;
2) Is it too late to FIM or TOP the Queen? With the Queen's incredible pistil afro, I hate to mess with her, but if an experienced grower thinks it is not too late, I will try to force my hand;
3) As the Queen is only on Day 36, is it strange that she is already "flowering?" I take flowering to mean the development of all the many pistils;
4) If the Queen is already flowering, is there a need for me to add some flowering nutrients? I have Green Light Super Bloom standing at the ready.
5) Also, if the Queen is already flowering, how much longer will she continue to develop prior to harvest? I know this varies from strain to strain; my best guess as to the strain is that she is "Mighty Freeze," as I found a seed in my dugout from this strain provided by a friend - I could be wrong as he had provided me with about 7 different strains - a good friend indeed!

I guess that's about the end of my questions and my update. I hope there will be some comments and possibly answers to my questions. Thanks for reading. Now, without further ado, the eye candy.


Day 36

Hey m8.....just checking out your thread, and it's great....:thumbsup:
It's strange that your plant is flowering so early....you know weed usually starts to flower when the days are getting shorter(end of summer)
Dose your plant get enough sunlight??
I hate to say but if things remain like this, you won't get a acceptable yield....
As for your Q's....:
1.) No, she is no Hermy...
2.) I don't think that it would do any good to TOP or FIM her so late...
3.) Yes....:wtf:
4.) It can't hurt...but only 1/2 of the lowest recommended dose in the beginning....
5.) She will develop for sure....

Fat Elvis,
This isn't the plant you're thinking hemaphrodite, is it? I see a beautiful female with no evidence of male parts, yet.

Thanks to you, hydrocannabis, for your vote of confidence! Your plants are amazing, so your comment means a lot, bro!

zeb! Dude, I appreciate your time on my questions, as I now have a better sense of direction! Ice Queen has a spot in my yard, where she gets direct sunlight for probably 10 hours, and indirect sunlight for the rest of the day, which must account for her early flowering. This brings about another question - can I reposition Ice Queen elsewhere in my yard so she gets more direct sunlight without funking her up now that she has already begun to flower? I'd rather have a small yield than to mess her up.

I'm really excited to hear she is not going hermy. Those pods at the base of the nodes looked to be seed shaped, so I was getting confused.

Thanks again for your time and experience in answering my questions!

Shov, thanks for confirming Ice Queen has not gone herm on me! With you and zeb both confirming it, then I take it to be gospel. I figured with all of the stress she has been through and with her early flowering, then those puffy pods at the base of the nodes were the beginnings of seed pods.

As for the Fat Elvis - he's my favorite of all the Elvii. And, this particular impersonator's stylings brought to my attention for the first time the phenomenon known as "male camel toe." I had never considered it nor thought it possible. It makes me laugh in the sense that sometimes other people's pain is humorous in an America's Funniest Home Videos sort of way - that darn suit must be uncomfortable as heck!


Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to review and comment on my log, as well as provide me much needed direction through answers to my noob questions. You are passing it on, as others passed it on to you, and for that I thank you; and, I will try my best to give back on this great board!

Be good out there.

hahahahaha oh man. the infamous male camel toe. I just had a flashback to the movie The Weather Man when they show a bunch of "camel toes" in response to her daughter's nickname - cameltoe.

anywayys - looking good jake, and that is def a female!

peace!

Nice work! Looks very Indica to me, short and bushy, wide leaves; though the experience you described would point towards sativa traits... Probably some hybridization (never heard of it before). Either way, she is indeed a healthy looking young lady! Hopefully you can keep her from fully flowering until she gets a bit bigger so your yield increases. Best luck!
