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.

Ice is one of my faves. It produces so many resin glands that the plant is completely covered. The high is nice and uplifting and will not turn you into a couch potato. Ice is good to smoke before doing something active like biking or hiking. The high creeps up on you after smoking ... you might end up smoking 3 bowls before you realize how stoned you really are. The smell of the plant while flowering is amazing: very sweet smelling with undertones of skunk. This smell intensifies with curing.
The plant seems to really use up the nitrogen during flowering. I had this problem more when using chem ferts. About halfway through flower it would go very yellow. During veg feed heavy with nitrogen but do not and feed veg nutes until the second week of flower and you shouldn't have this problem.
