| Five seeds germinated out of six, in 3 days, directly in soil. They stayed for a week under 54w of fluoros and then for other three weeks under 250w of HPS. All the plants grew very fast with a lot of side branches and just one showed a bit of yellowing; they need quite a lot of nitrogen during vegging and preflowering, little pots can cause problems.
After the preflowers the females were four, but absolutely I hadn't the space to grow more than three plants, so one was gave to a friend.
Despite the reduced distance between the lamp and the plants, I had a consistent stretching in preflowering, passing from 30 cm to one meter. I had two plants with a more indica pheno and one kind of 50/50. Neither a little problem during flowering, they started ripening very soon and I harvested after 53 days from the switch to 12/12. In that period I used the 250w HPS plus 36w of fluoros.
I fed with a generic fertilizer (NPK: 10-5-5+Fe) during vegging and preflowering, Canna Terra Flores (2-2-4) after the first flowers, PK 13-14 in middle flowering and GHE Ripen as end bloom booster (it made the buds much bigger and dense!). I gave Plagroon Roots too, after transplants.
The pots were 1,5 litres for seedling, 6 l after 2 weeks (a bit too late!) and 12 l after the sexing to the end. German pro soil + worms humus + expanded clay.
The final result is 125 grams of top quality buds and 30 g of trims and microbuds (used to make a great hashish!).
The stone is quite balanced for the two more indica plants: it's very heady at the beginning but after a quarter of hour you realize that stand up from the sofa is so hard... The third plant, less indica than the others, was the worst yielder and it's more sweet and candy-like... It's also a bit less destructive, so I can even smoke it in the morning!
Yes, because talking about ICE you can say it has a strong and nice smell, a not so bad flavour, but what everybody would say after a joint is that this is one of the most potent strain in commerce! All of my friends are amazed from ICE...
