Ice Cream (Paradise Seeds) New
- Thread starter Bi0hazard
- Start date
My friend finally brought over 2 pheno's of the Paradise Seeds - Opium. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes the Ice Cream. One of them has a very similar Grape Jelly pheno and is some tasty herb. The buds have a higher leaf to calyx ratio, but they are drenched in sweet grape fruit punch smelling resin. The yield is a little fluffier than the ice cream but the psycho active effect is quite different. This is another great piece of the puzzle. All the paradise genetics are kept secret, but they said they used a hybrid and crossed it to another top reverted male so there is a possibility that it is ice cream crossed with something else, but who knows.
I highly recommend this other hidden gem.

Did it look anything like this Bio?
Twisted Metal,
Ya, it looked pretty similar, I assume that one had that grape jelly smell/taste as well, similar to most of the ice cream phenos?. It's definitely fluffier than the ice cream, my friend said when it was growing, it was formation-on-top-of-formation of pistols, the whole bud was made up pistols and then the calyx's starting filling in the bud sized locations that were once full of fluffy, fuzzy jagged pistols. The leaf to calyx ratio is pretty high, but as you can see in twisted metal's photos the leaves are covered in trichromes, not as drenched as ice cream but again the psycho active effect has a different spin to it.
I only got to sample a very small bit. It is 2 days away from finishing drying and I should be getting an Oz or two to sample as soon as its a week or more into curing.
From the small bit I sampled, it had the full waves that overtake your body, kind of like ice cream but with a different spin. The closed eye psychoactive effects were a lot more intense as well, I'm really excited to see how high the ceiling is on this stuff, I'm going to give a good 1g-2g blunt test, let the gloves off and see what it can do.
I'll do a much more detailed report on it, most likely in its own thread.
∙ Anyone else want to comment on and or post pics of their Paradise Seeds - Opium experiences?

Looked in the post box this morning and saw that U.K postal mark... man everytime I see that mark I feel like a kid at christmas time! inside the envelope were my Ice Cream beans answell as some other beans I'd ordered and to my surprise a pack of Wally Ducks Pineapple C99!
Bi0hazard, I think it was meant to be. I'm foaming at the mouth just thinking of the possible outcomes, pineapple/vanilla bean ice cream aromas and hopefully the indica in the cream will take a bit of the edge off the C99 high. Well come to think of it I'm bound to find a pheno with the traits I'm after, my own 'grail' and a lot of others that will lean towards one parent or the other that might please the palates of others. Either way I've decided my first run is going to be pollinated (bottom buds only) with C99 and Sweet tooth#3 pollen. Hopefully I find a pair of nice males from both strains to do the job. My only problem is that I will have to wait 2-3 months before I can proceed in earnest... can't wait
TwistedMetal... beautiful work mate, that's 1 tasty looking nugg you got there.
Bi0hazard... Paradise should be sending you free packs of all their gear! or better yet employ you to write their strain descriptions. Either way they owe you, big time!

What I would do with a pack of each Paradise strain... I would make sure they were all properly sowed and would write and maintain a thread about each of them, just like this. We can dream, right?
Put me in line for those Pineapple C99 x Ice Cream genetics, I would love to get my hands on them. My friend showed me his TGA Space Queen [Romulan x C99] (C99 Pineapple leaning pheno), it smells out of this world. I'm constantly impressed by the wide range of smells and tastes the terpenes of cannabis can produce, its incredible. His Subcool TGA JillyBean is also to die for, it has some of the sweetest bubblegum/mango smells I've come across.
I'm still waiting for some Ice Cream x Apollo 11, or any Chemdawg lineage (og kush, Sour Diesel, Chem D x (each with Apollo 11) Genius pheno. =]
That is my upcoming genetics search.

Just a quick input on both ice cream and opium. I'm a patient in Oregon, there by limited to 6 flowering plants. I grew ice cream and opium this year outdoors. In 30 gal smart pots, each plant yielded over 1 lb each. It was a great harvest and a hell of a clipping session. The ice cream are hard dense nuggents, while the opium is much fluffier. Both work better for anxiety and head rushing vs. pain. They will keep you up and about, not couch locked.
Very healthy plants durgamata, what do you feed them?

Fox Farms for vegative, and Cha-Ching, BeastieBloomz and Opensesame during flower.
durgamata,
How well does the Beastie Bloomz work. My friend got some samples of it, and Opensesame. He is using the Technaflora BC Bud nute regiment, is that something that could be added to the mix, or would that be overkill? I guess I'm asking if its a full nutrient solution or if it can add good synergy to other nutrient mixes by using very small ammounts of it in conjunction with the regular feeding routine.
