SPICE by Mr. Nice

We have had an old pack of Spice kicking around for awhile, and finally decided to pop them... Two seedlings out of the pack survived (most didn't sprout or died trying), one male and one female. The male exhibits some variegation, the female does not. Has anyone grown out any Spice recently? Some of the Spice we've tried in the past was amazing herb, so we rolled the dice on a pack...

The male:

The female:

Cool looking leaf.

I'll follow along, I always wondered about this strain. It sounds interesting but not much info out there about it.

Hey Hiding, thanks for dropping by... We are hoping this spice will be comparable to the Spice we had around Santa Cruz circa 2005. Had the most exotic delicious flavor, smoked through it so fast!

MNS SPICE by Shantibaba

it was originally called Hawaii 5-0...when I first created it but since the MNS it was renamed.
Spice is definitively old world genetics.It was originally made in 87 and then had a few improvements in the early 90s only to remain the same since then.
Since Hawaii had no land races this Spice comes from a long history of serious breeding done with specially adapted indicas and sativas.Over the years and through a lot of interbreeding they have become very personalized and unique.My experience with these different adapted strains coming out of islands of Hawaii shine through on this plant.

Spice is a fruity flavoured sweet aromatic plant.
It really is a distinct strain with its leaf traits and smell.
Very wide leaves, they over lap a fair bit and they are short.The plants are also short.

Spice is basically 75 indica:25 sativa.The phenotype usually comes out similar.
If you go for the sativa aspects it will be comparable to SSH in the way that it will grow straight up with fluffy-ball shaped buds...maybe not as strong but different.If you choose on the indica side of things then you may find some serious strong and acrid smells that got her her name Spice.

It is advisable to keep a constant ec for her.She responds better to a very consistant climate.Climate being the wholistic elements of the entire grow room...air, air circulation, temp, water ph...If you are any sorts of growers this lady is fun.If you room is not up to scratch then she will repay you with the equivalent budage...
What I usually do is give her an ec of 1.6-1.8 with a ph of 5.8 when she grows on rockwool.As she gets developed reduce the Ec to 1.4 the last few weeks before flushing the nutrients out the last week or so.

Hey TrinZilla, was your Spice out of the old yellow paper packs, or from the blue and silver foil packs?

I have an old pack in the fridge from 09. Mine where the foil packaging.

So only 2 out of an 18 pack sprouted?

Blue and silver foil pack... 7 out of 18 sprouted tails, 2 survived planting lol
