Paradise Ice Cream / 250W MH
- Thread starter Gelado`
- Start date
Actually I meant 3.5 oz total, but I do have over an oz of the autoflowering stuff still left! I only smoke very small amounts at a time.
Still...
The Ice Cream is great smoke already...maybe leaving them low on nutes at the end was a good idea. The taste is great, it smells dank and a little skunky and piney and the potency is ass kicking. Good stuff! It's definitely the most potent stuff I've grown to date.
EDIT: Just hit the convenience store for snacks. Lots of snacks. That Ice Cream gave me serious munchies!

Budz...transferred the dry Ice Cream buds (so far) to a ziplock bag to cure. I've never used a plastic bag to cure, so I'm interested to see how it turns out. Apparently the trichs that get stuck to the bag can be knocked off the plastic if it is placed in the freezer. Once the bud has a little curing I'll jar it, but I hear results from plastic bags can be good because there is still some (minimal) air flow. 75g with the bag; I still have another 1.5 plants worth of bud drying that I'll add some time next week, and the entire Skunk plant that will of course go into a separate container!
Through a 10x loupe..need more light on the budz.

Final yield...around 120g. 100g of Ice Cream and only 20g of the Skunk, but all great smoke. Definitely my best tasting and most potent crop to date!
Very little chlorophyll bite too since I stopped feeding four weeks before taking them down. Got lots to do between now and Christmas, but maybe I'll try and pop those Satoris before the year is up!

Yes, I smoke 3-4x as much now!
The Ice Cream now tastes a lot like the NYC Diesel I had in Amsterdam--grapefruity! I transplanted my Ice Cream clones into the five gallon pot that previously held three girls. Going to give them some compost, worm compost and fert. They're under the 250W MH.

5 gal! Train her right and youll get a 1/4 off that 1 plant. It progresses so fast, doesn't it? The desire/ need to grow em bigger
Two in one five gallon--I'll take some cuttings and put 2-3 more into another 5 gal. Putting two to three into a five gallon works out much better than putting them into 1 gallon pots (at least it worked out better on the last run). I guess I could run just one in the other five for comparison...
Maybe instead of taking another clone, I should try and pop my remaining Ice Cream bean so I can compare phenos...

That's what I'll do for now--this is ideal weather for the ol' Ice Creams. I'll know if the Satoris are good if the remaining IC bean pops since they were all together in the same jar in the fridge.
WG, you asked about the springtails--no sign of them since I harvested and stopped watering and top dressing. I just gave the clones a healthy top dress with all manner of goodies (too many to list, but pretty much everything I used in the last grow, sans hops) and watered through with Plagron Alga Grow and neem. I bet the springtails come right back now that they have compost and old roots to work through (and most importantly, wet peat/coco)! Fingers crossed!

So interestingly I think the autoflowering White Russian trumps the Skunk and Ice Cream for potency...who would've thought?
Last night I looked high and low for signs of the springtails. None to be found. I felt bad and regretted killing them off and letting the soil dry out. Then I saw one, right on schedule. Strange, I looked for a good, long while before that, and then when I was like one showed up. Almost like I'm meant to grow!

Satori has sprouted and put out a taproot--it should be above soil by tomorrow. Looks like my seed collection is still good (phew)! I'll pop two more. Hopefully I get two females and one male so I can do a little seed run, although I'd settle for one female and two males, or even three females that I can select from and clone!
Time to start a new thread, and I will once I get done cleaning up my room and tent!
