DaPurps grows ICE & Skunkman Freebies

[DaPurps]

Thanks bro. The nugs ARE rock hard on this strain, and the stone will knock you down. It is my keeper for a while. Im going to pick up another FMS strain soon though so I have some beans for backup/variety.

I am not that good with a camera, but I attempted some budshots to show how many trics this bitch puts out

The bud shots look awesome!

Thanks bro. Somewhere around day 38 on the big Ice girl and she is swelling noticably everyday now.

Thanks, and grats bro, you will enjoy them, whatever you end up with !

Here is a clone that topped once a week or so ago, and again topped both tops today. I also transplanted this one into 2.5gallons of my soil mix to veg in for a month or so. She is the next one in the line.

All ICE:

As you can see we are pretty far into flower and the only problem is the yellow leaves. The addition of Epsoma fixed the cal/mg I have been having. Starting with the clone I just transplanted, I have started adding 1 teaspoon of bone meal per container of soil and will see how that changes things. So I start with African Violet soil, and add Epsoma Garden Tone, EWC, and bone meal now. Very little GH Maxibloom is used anymore. Building up the soil is giving better results then feeding nutes for me.

The transplant did wonders for this lady. I will keep her growing low for another week before letting some branches go up.

3 Ice gals in flower

This one is somewhere in week 6 i think.

This is my keeper pheno, look at that frost already. This one is at around the end of week 3, might be in start of 4th.

All in all things are good except I am out of clones. When my last one gets a little bigger I will take another batch.

Ok so my first big girl was in a 5gal bucket, and the current one is in a 6gal square container, so I wanted to step it up again. So... I picked up this 10gallon tote, and drilled about 20 holes in the bottom and waalaa, 10gallon container

I figure, she is on hold for a few weeks anyway, so I might as well let her stretch her legs before flower. More dirt has never worked against me.

I just want to add, I never considered how heavy it would be when I got the brilliant idea.

HEY MAN YOUR ICE LOOK SO FAT ...well done , can't wait to watching the new one

 

[rock solid]

DaPurps that ice sure looks awesome good work

 

[DaPurps]

Thanks bros ! The big Ice late in flower is stinking the place up to high heavens.

The one I just put into 10gal to veg is slotted to be my biggest plant yet. No scales in the house, but Im looking to pull atleast 12zips from the 10gal.

 

[DaPurps]

Bleached a top pure white. She made it to about week 7 before floppin' over this time. I was in there getting sticky tying up a few branches earlier, she is stanky.

wow that plant is massive, very nice indeed D. glad to see you have found keepers. I found it hard when i was growing to get anything i really wanted to keep, and what i did want i made seeds is that an 8w + flowerer?

So now that the Skunkman is all finished up, what do you think of the smoke? Did the high change much after letting the trichs color up?

Thanks bro. I hear you on keepers variety is the Spice of life they say. Speaking of which, just yesterday I sent out a money order for seeds. I got 4 more FMS ICE incase I loose mine, and I got the Iced Grapefruit 5 pack to try out ! Since I do big plants low numbers, I'll prob only pop one Iced Grapefruit (IG from now on) when they arrive, take a few clones and flower out the seedplant to see what it holds.

My Ice at 8 weeks rips my head off. I have not taken it past that, but give me a week and we will be in week 8 I am not so desperate for smoke this time so we will she what she can really do.

Honestly I am not too impressed by the skunkman smoke. At 13weeks I still took it early to keep things moving. The yield was amazing, in a 1gallon container it gave me atleast 2 zips, I would wager closer to 3. I was watering everyday to keep it happy. The smoke is definately daytime smoke, an up high on mostly cloudy trics not a lot amber. I can't complain for free but I would not have purchased them I am into the female indica's.

Some nice cola's in the making

 

[mchammar2006]

Fantastic looking plants man. I've been out of the growing game for a few years now but am returning and you just convinced me that Ice is the way to go. Thanks man.

 

[DaPurps]

No, thank you bro. 2nd post in 2 years, im honored You won't be let down with FMS Ice. She clones easy, very vigorous, and the stone is knock down. Not to mention she flowers fairly fast and has a very decent yield.

Here's my Ice stash at the moment Doing my perpetual thing, the one in the 10gallon tote is still veg'in so it will be a monster when the time comes.

 

[DaPurps]

6 days later, time for the first drink since transplant. The growth is not bad at all for a 16/8 veg imo.

I'm going to start some serious LST soon, get all these branches layed back down and spread out.

 

[DaPurps]

I got her wrangled back under control...

With my big Ice girl in the end of week7/start of week 8, I still got atleast a week of veg left on this one. She's already pretty large, lol. Giving her the 10gallons of soil definately affected the growth rate.

 

[mchammar2006]

How heavy does the Ice feed? also what kind of soil are you growing in? thanks.
