Any ICE Growers Out There?

I am not sure what the exact ratio is but calling Nirvana Ice an indica strain is like calling an 18 wheeler a longbed truck. I am in day 16 of flower. I vegged for 30 days. My plants are all over 5ft tall and slow to flower. They are flowering but slowly. If this is a indica/sativa strain its about 10/90 sativa.

Any other Ice growers see this type of result?

I grow Ice but that is exactly what it is called, not Nirvana. You have a sativa/indica hybrid that just has characteristics that make it grow taller. Couldve been a tall indica and a heavy sativa crossed. Try takin some clones and topping it from the start. Pick your shortest one. Clone that and hopefully you can weed out some of the issue. But its not always a guarantee it will grow a certain height. Mj is like that saying, but backwards. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it prolly ISNT a duck. :) Happy Growing my friend. Would love to see some pics!

So here are some pics. I am in day 17 of flower. It is slow to get started by has sped up over the last few days.

The plant on the left vegged for 35 days. You may not be able to tell but its well over 5' from the floor.

The plant on the left vegged for 18 days. You can see how much more managable the heigth is.

Hopefully this gives you some idea of how long you will want to veg. Like my post above says, I was not expecting a plant this tall. Its easy to see the sativa doiminant characteristics in the photo.

What do yall think?

I grew out 3 ice from seed, took and grew clones from those. They were all pretty much uniform in size. All stayed at a medium height, compared to the white widow and super lemon haze that wanted to grow into the lights.

The smoke is definetely more indica. It's a good couch lock and great before bed. Turned out to be one of my favorites so far.

Hey I just saw you responded. I seen your pics of Ice and Id have to say, they dont look like mine. I know all Ice isnt the same, just sayin. My Ice is a very short/medium plant. I cloned it a couple times but one time one of them turned into a 4+ footer. I try to keep all my plants around 3'. Anyways just wanted to share something. From your pics, it looks like your plant is stretching quite a bit. I would lower the light or give some supplemental light. Also topping works great w these plants. You top, you control :) I have white widows that would get over 5 feet every time, unfortunately. the ww is no match for my topping skills lol. Its a BEAST! Ill post some pics eventually.:joint:
