ice / crystal grow update

Earth Worm Castings. Worm poo-dirt.

If you are not seeing any burnt tips, then perhaps a general increase
might be in order.

You are doing great.

update
day 66 of grow
day 47 of flower ( 6 weeks and 5 days )
My ICE plant has buds bulking up nicely
All of a suddern it has started getting heaps of yellow shade leaves starting from the bottom going all the way up to middle
Is this normal for this age ?
If so is it time to start with straight water ?

Javadog · Oct 24, 2013

Yes, sometimes, with some breeds, there is a need for N late
in flower beyond that some nutrient brands deliver.

You are seeing yellowing from the bottom up. This is N def.

Top dress it with worm castings.

Good luck,

JD

ICE

CRYSTAL has orange pistals coming on
and the smell is so strong , the seed bank i got the seeds off say it smells of kerosine
i don't know what it smells like but fuck it is strong!
It has got a strong sativa look about it
ICE has almost no smell but is fattening up nice
just starting seeing a few orange pistals coming out to play

Nice pics. I have a lot of experience with Ice, and I found it odd that you say yours has barely any smell to it. In all my experience with that strain I can tell you that it is very very strong smelling. With having an inline fan and air scrubber the whole house still smelled so strong even incense had a hard time covering up the smell. On the windier days you could actually smell it outside the house very easily. There was even a neighbor who commented that someone "must be growing around here" cause he could smell it in the street. Now, I do have to say, it's been a while and that strong smell might not kick in until later in the grow, maybe week 6 of the flowering process, but when it does you may want to be mindful/careful with it.

I forgot to mention.....the two Ice plants that was growing was in a SCROG and produced about a half lb each under one 600w hps for the first 4 to 5 weeks of flowering then under two 600w hps for the remainder. Setup was an NFT system running Green Planet nutes at 1300-1400 ppm.

Well, enjoy the forced taster buds. I am sorry to hear of the event.

I too am worrying about weather issues. I am in So Cal but I have
new sprouts (parsnips, leeks, cukes, lettuce, bok choy, etc) and an
excellent entheogenic cacti in the back yard. I am worrying about
the potential for even a small frost.

Good luck,

JD

That is just it....in Southern California there really aren't seasons
in the traditional sense. What am I saying...it is 60F this morning...Brrr! :0)

We do get the occasional frost, and certain cacti and plants will have to come in.

Take care,

JD
