Breeder's Description - 'Ice' | | With Ice we have successfully attempted to bring quality and quantity together. Ice has ancestors of Afghani, a very special Skunk, Northern Light, and Shiva. An intense selection process of thousands of plants was used in finding this special mix. Ice flowers are richly covered in trychomes and have a dense consistency. Buds form along main branches and there is a high flower to leaf ratio. Fantastic for hydro and soil applications. The stone is heavy and the aroma is almost like fuel. Ice is a winner of the 1998 Cannabis Cup.

I had two distinct phenotypes:
The first was was more Sativa influenced and was a harder to contain in my small flower space. Would have done much better outside. Flowers were very large but the bottom 1/4 of the flower was strechy.
The second was more Indica influenced that took *very* well to being tied down. I created a bonsai plant in 1gal pots thats main stem was no taller than my hand, but produced 1.5ozs. The buds had hints of purple flowers within the bud itself and a sweet smelly of berries. Very nice.
Both phenotypes had a similar high, a delayed rush that wasn't all in your face, but isn't a creeper. Really heady, but social high I couldn't stop talkin! Great for parties, concerts, or other gatherings.
Garden Information for this report 290w: one 150w HPS overhead and two 70w HPS on the sides within aprox. 12 cubic feet flower area ( aprox. 2'x3'x3' ) |

I grew Ice from clone. IMO this strain was very sensitive to wind and nutes.
My problems with this plant grew so big that I had to cut her down on day 31 of bloom. She still produced a lot of resin and some nice buds.

Ice is one of my faves. It produces so many resin glands that the plant is completely covered. The high is nice and uplifting and will not turn you into a couch potato. Ice is good to smoke before doing something active like biking or hiking. The high creeps up on you after smoking ... you might en ...continued

Started out with 5 seeds, 100% germ rate!
Seedlings were vegged for about 6 weeks and then put into 12/12. In about the 4th or 5th week of Veg there was a strong odor though, so Carbon scrubbers had to be turned on at this point.
They were very easy to maintain in my DWC setup, very happy wi ...continued

I thoroughly enjoyed this plant! I am re-growing it right now. Don't let my numbers fool you, I think I may have messed up somewhere with the hydro solution. It isn't the plant's fault, even though I wish there was no Ruderalis in the strain (causes early flowering), I wanted to veg my plant for a b ...continued

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 ...continued

In veg, she showed sex (pre-flowers) at day 22. Which was great! I don’t believe that she is the nute hog like others say. I never over fed her and still there was a slight nute burn (fox farm products).
During veg there was a definite fuel like smell in the grow room
Flower: she stretched prett ...continued

This was my first grow, I only germinated one Ice seed (along with a few other seeds of other strains). It sprouted and turned out to be female (my only one actually). I cared for this plant well because she was all I had left. I was on a slight time constraint so I only vegged for a little under 4 ...continued

First of all let me say this is the best Nirvana's strain I've grown; very good final quality and quite good stability.
I started with 10 seeds bought in Amsterdam , got 4 females. One was given to a friend and now is a wonderful mother plant used to make clones.
ICE is a strong,resistant and ...continued
