The Alaskan Ice is one of the strongest cannabis plants ever bred. It is a cross of original Green House White Widow and Pure Haze. This variation represents a very famous strain, with a new kick. The plants have a structure that is slightly stretchier than the White Widow, with a typical pine-tree shape. The internode is quite stable and averages 12-15 centimetres. The strain has all the well known characteristics of the White Widow, with a much higher THC content and a very sativa-like effect, energising and very trippy. CBD level is also very high at over 1%, giving it a complete physical effect that follows the first burst of high. Flowering time on this strain is 9 weeks, just one week longer than the original White Widow. The Alaskan Ice is suitable for indoor, outdoor and greenhouse. The plant is quite resistant to botrytis and to pests. In indoor hydro systems the production can reach 700-800 grams per square meter. Outdoor expect production up to 800 grams per plant with fully developed specimens (up to 2,5 meters high and very branchy). The Alaskan Ice can be fed quite a bit, with an EC level up to 2.2 in hydro systems (regular flush required). The taste of the Alaskan Ice is spicy and hazy, with a very well balanced bouquet in between the White Widow and the Haze flavours.

Are both the WW and PH from GHS or did you breed it yourself...I've never heard of this strain before, do you have any pics I can drool over... up untill this point I've only been able to grow bagseed, Hopefully one day I can grow a strain that is that good....

I have twice in the past 5 weeks came across this problem. There would be no water coming from the drip ring, this was due to some kind of build-up on the air hose at the bottom of the bucket. It is a pain in the ass to try to remove the pumping column with a huge plant in the way but it has to be done. Once the column was removed the problem was identified, some kind of build-up in the air hose. If anyone has any experience combating this problem I would love to hear it.
hey man nice pics you have there. i just had the same problem not too long ago. i started using kool bloom and the air tube was getting clogged.man it was such a pain in the ass to get that tube out and clean it. so on my second unit i pulled the upper res up and had my girlfriend hold it while i push the tube down and clean it that way hahah. anyways let me know if u have any pointers, tthanks

Caddy,
It's imported from Holland...and yes used the whole line in Ebb n Flow the Aqua Flakes is meant for recirculating systems...the line is expensive but concentrated, a lil goes a long way...when I set up my 10 gallon recirculating bucket system, it's what I'm using... Van de Zwann has a complete hydro, coco, and soil line of A and B -2 part base nutrients...And the Roots Excelurator is some great stuff for preventing root rot and all around root health...I think it rivals or tops a lot of other nutrients on the market, but that just my opinion, and I don't have alot of experience w/ other nutes, so my opinion might not mean crap to the next guy...I do know that the same strain grown with the House & Garden(Van de Zwann) performed, looked, smelled, and smoked better than that same strain growing with Canna products, but to each there own...
hope this helps Caddy

Well after looking at the roots at harvest, I noticed that the pumping column is pretty much suckin from the bottom of the bucket. This would explaing the gunk clogging the airline. Raising the column would mean having the drip ring higher, I like it low because it splashes everywhere.
I'm going to do a Scrog grow soon and won't be able to remove the growing chamber, so I'm thinking of cutting 1-2 inches off the pumping column. I would be able to keep the pumping column away from the bottom of the bucket while lowering the ring a little.
Here is a look at the 4" Air disk in the bucket....
Making a Res/Controller is pretty simple. I used 1/2'' Tubing & fittings, and 3/8 inch rubber grommets. Use aquarium safe sealant. I bought a General Hydroponics float valve for $15. These are 18 gallon buckets, but a 10 gallon would be perfect for 1-2 buckets.

Nice diy job bro...Imho those W/F pots need more drainage, I'd drill a lot more holes in the bottom and around the sides of the bucket the plant and hydroton are in...Or even better take out the top bucket completely and replace it with a Net pot 5 gal bucket lid, but that's just my $0.02Well after looking at the roots at harvest, I noticed that the pumping column is pretty much suckin from the bottom of the bucket.
