==================================================
FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS
==================================================


(Address final questions immediately after effects have worn off.)

# Effect onset: [8-9] (Rate how quickly the effect hit from 1-10 immediate-major creeper.)

# Sativa influence: [4] (Rate the sativa influence detected from 0-10 none-extreme. Sativa influence is best described as a clear and energetic mental effect.)

# Judging from the sample alone do you personally consider this
strain a keeper for long term use. [Yes, and No. It is good for special occasions, but as an all day everyday smoke, it is a little too clear in my opinion, I personally like my pot to stay in my head.]

# What effect did the strain have:

sounds like some nice smoke. you said you harvested early...what is the "normal" flowering time, (i will guess around 9 weeks since it's a member of the widow family) and what day/week did you pulls yours?

-peace

Ehhh, I had some light issuses or something, because I pulled at the end of week 17, but the trichomes were still mostly clear - cloudy with very few amber. And only about 90% of the hairs were fully orange.

WEEK 17?!?!?!?! was it some super crazy sativa pheno? or did you mean week 7? either way, looks and sound good...

Yeah 17 weeks, it could have been a crazy sativa pheno because this is a very energetic high with very little stone. I was expecting a one hit KO, but I'm not complaining.

a friend of mine has grown the ICE since 03' or 04' i think, its a 9 weeker every time fully ripe. he only kept one mom that he uses.

hits more direct, but doesnt have the sativa high, earthy and distinct fuel taste. i was reding and agreeing on all in this report until i read 17 weeks :O

wow i have a ssh, that takes somewhere around 110 days but whoa, thats a long long time tbh.

Light contamination? Have you been in you room when its dark to check for light leaks. Could be the problem. 17wks, Even haze mixes dont take that long!

we grew ice years ago.. not impressed at all...HOWEVER... we also grew some of nirvana's jock horror.. WOW... it is to this day, the best weed we have grown... by far... unfort. we did not take any cuttings, and after 3 further packs of JH, never found that pheno again... yep we fuk'd up not keeping a cutting...
 
I grew Ice for 2 or 3 years but got rid of it to make room for my ghanni and cindy99. I thought Ice was pretty strong until I tried ghanni and Cindy as they were both stronger than both the phenos of Ice I had. Cindy is now gone to make room for a stronger buzz...sweettooth. i wasnt very impressed with Ice after seeing that there was much better available. However, I did only pop 10 seeds so maybe I just didnt get the right pheno.

I'm running a pheno of Ice that is a super loud diesel ass bitch! She's way louder than the DP WW I used to grow. Buzz isn't the strongest, but it's very good. I like it cause it's like smoking xanax! Hahaha! You don't give a shit about anything after you smoke it! Lol. It's pretty crazy. She also doesn't stretch much in flower, and growing her untopped, I get 6oz a plant. She's from Nirvana's feminized seeds.
