Spice? - Mr. Nice Seeds - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Fat Albert · 09-22-2006, 01:02 AM

I haven't been able to get much info on this strain. The search function keeps booting me to a blank page. What type of 'Hawaiian' genetics are we talking about here? I know Shanti's reputation makes these questions not as important, but I'm curious nonetheless. Are there any more grow or especially smoke reports, other than the 'Spice of Life' thread in this forum?

Thanks!

I don't remember any reports of it here. There were a couple at CW, but you know. If I remember correctly, they varied a little, but there were some killer phenos in there.

This is a compilation of quotes from previous MNS helpdesks on the net.

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Spice is definitively old world genetics.It was originally made in 87 and then had a few improvements in the early 90s only to remain the same since then.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.

Hope that helps a bit...
Peace.

Always with the "lost" info you are Kashgar. Good going keeping all that info brother. Peace

Torc :
It always is a pleasure to share those infos with other MNS growers.

The plant pictured above comes from the garden of a friend who I gave one pack of Spice some times ago in order to see what she was up to.
He got 8 females : all were short and exibited the leaf trait which makes her foliage looks like holly leaves.He did not get one plant on the sativa side of the cross.
The smell&taste were really what we found interesting in that strain : a heavy spicy fruity one with reminiscence of old school Hawaiian genetic.
I still have some Spice in the firdge and I really feel than from 30 seeds I should be able to find something exceptional.
Aloha.

It should be noted that MNS Spice is a true breeding strain as is MNS Shit...
Peace.

i only got the sativa pheno

Kashgar · 12-03-2006, 09:20 PM

Hi kanebosem,
I remember your Black Widow pics at CW...
I would be very interested to know more about your experience with Spice.
Could you describe yours in terms of smell, taste and type of stone?
Also how many seeds did you germinate?
Peace.

kanebosem · 12-04-2006, 12:18 AM

hi kashgar, i also remember you and a great thread you had about masterkush/skunk selection.are you still growing her?
about the spice i germed 10 seeds and got 4 femlaes all very strong and healthy.they grew with very large fan leafs very indica looking but had sativa flowers, very slender,growing along the stems.flowers were made out of midium size cylex not very leafy.there was no resin visible at all on any of the leafs.
the resin was only on the flower cylex.smell and taste were ok but nothing special but i did like the high which was nice and speedy feel good but not too potent.to sum it up i liked spice and enjoyed growing her but didnt find a keeper.
now after reading the info from shanti i realized i got only the sativa pheno.
it seems the indica is the one to look for in terms of smell and taste which is very important to me and was the reason i got spice in the first place.
