Breeder's Description - 'Ice'
|
With Ice we have successfully attempted to bring quality and quantity together. Ice has ancestors of Afghani, a very special Skunk, Northern Light, and Shiva. An intense selection process of thousands of plants was used in finding this special mix. Ice flowers are richly covered in trychomes and have a dense consistency. Buds form along main branches and there is a high flower to leaf ratio. Fantastic for hydro and soil applications. The stone is heavy and the aroma is almost like fuel. Ice is a winner of the 1998 Cannabis Cup.

The Grow
This is my second Ice plant grown, the first was male. It was an extremely vigorous strain. I used Sams Choice soil with a 40% mix of perlite. During veg I used Miracle Grow AP 15-30-15. She was vegged with 100 watts of CF's for 5 weeks and 13" at which point she showed female pre flowers and I set her up with 400W HPS all for herself. After 14 days of flower she was stretched up to 32" and her flowers had formed. I used Sam's choice Deep feeding 10-52-10 for the first 3 weeks and Shultz Expert Gardener 10-60-10 for the remainder of flower. She had no smell during veg. She did not smell in flower until the last week during the flush when all I could smell was a mango scent. Throughout the grow temps ranged from 62F - 89F and humidity from 30%-60%.
The Harvest
Her last day of 12/12 was the 45th day into flower and she was 38" tall. She sat in 24 hrs of darkness and was harvested on her 46th day. I removed all of the branches and manicured them. They were hung to dry in my closet with a fan and a couple of ONA blocks. After 4 days she was then re manicured and put into a tin container. Her scent has become less fruity and more like a real tangy kind of smell. This phenotype smells NOTHING like ganja at all. No one could get over just holding the buds up to their noses and inhaling its stench. Yield was 129 Grams off of this one plant after cure.
The Smoke Test
I had three people separately test the bud and I documented their impressions so I could give the best possible opinions of Nirvanas' Ice.
Smoker #1 is a chronic smoker and has been most of his life. He usually smokes the best in town, and could not stop drooling over this. He rates it as one of his top 3 smokes of his life. Causes munchies.
Taste = 8
Smell = 10
High = 7
Smoker #2 is another "pothead" :) and while not as excited as smoker #1 definitely thinks it is incredibly good smoke.
Taste = 8
Smell = 10
High = 9
Smoker #3 is in love with Ice. She thinks that it smells like cucumber skin. Causes munchies.
Taste = 9
Smell = 8
High = 8
In Review
The only sad thing was that I was not prepared to clone as this was definitely the mother plant I have dreamed of. I will be growing this again and praying this phenotype visit my garden once more.
