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.

These are my observations of "Ice" from Nirvana seeds....

Plant size and formation
...500-600 mm high, about the same in width.. large leaves (one resembled more indica) very long stems on the leaves , keeping them from covering any bud sites , very fast grower , fills out to very well shaped plant with many bud sites and medium to large buds

Yield...
Very good, 135 grams dry on the best yielding plant of the 4 females I grew; the lowest was just less than 100 grams...

Maturing time... (Outdoors)
From seed to harvest total of around 77 days , a few took about 10 days more, she grew very quickly and showed sex in the first few weeks , I was impressed to see that it had the vigor to still form a good size plant , actual flowering days were hard to count , but were noticeably quick ..

Bud size and form…
... Nice tight bud formation, dark golden/green in colour, very frosty...Were up to 3 inches in diameter on first plant harvested, slightly larger on the plant with the looser buds ..
Uniformity..
Out of 4 females they were all slightly different, wasn’t a bother due to the high quality and pleasant smells they all exhibited.. 2 were similar in look and smell , with slight variations , and the other 2 were quite different to all , a sweeter , slightly looser bud (probably the best yielder but suffered mould ) , one of the sweeter plants seemed to more resemble an indica in leaf shape and bud form , had a very bubble gummy smell ..

Smell and taste
... Pleasant "skunky smell”, taste was very similar to super skunk i recently harvested, quite bitey with a strong aftertaste ...an elusive perfumy taste ...

Stoned..
strong stoned , much in the head , comes on fast, can also feel it in my arms - little numb ,sort of buzzy feeling , nice ..

well that’s how she performed folks , i enjoyed the grow , the smoke was memorable , with the indica pheno being the strongest overall ,would definitely try again , a great performer ..
... Total yield from the 4 plants was 415 grams thereabouts, will keep the wolf from the door for a few weeks id say...
