Alaskan Ice - Greenhouse Seeds

Intro

I bought a pack of a.i without researching the strain first. I had room in my grow for 1 more plant & my local head shop had these fresh in. I usually buy my seeds from Seed Boutique (external link), and use Icmag to help me decide where to spend my cash. Its been a while since I've purchased blindly. Unfortunately I was soon disheartened to learn that many people had reported bad results from their a.i plants


The grow

The a.i shared a 600w hood with 5 other plants and was chopped at day 60 of flower. They were grown in Bio Bizz organic soil and fed Bio Bizz grow & bloom (plus epsom salts three weeks before chop). They where given just water for the last 14 days.

I reckon the pheno I had could have gone an extra 10 days.

The plant was dried over 5 days, down to 25% of its chopped weight, and given a 2 week cure.


Smoke report setup

amount / method: 2 x .5g joints rolled with kingsize silver rizla
time covered by report: 4 hours approx
setting: home (mainly dining room / kitchen)
Distractions: Music, the Mrs, the fridge


Smoke Report

Smell- Breaking up a bud released a nice sweet haze type aroma. Once burned, this turned into deep incense with a very 'sour' undertone.

Taste- On the inhale you are greeted with a flowery, slightly bitter experience. On the exhale I got a mild menthol feeling in my mouth. Very smooth, but I think a longer cure would improve the flavour.

Effects- Without doubt one of the nicest highs I've had the pleasure of experiencing; and from start to finish, no noticeable paranoia!

It took me just three tokes to get a good lift. at first I felt a little wooshy in the head, which proceeded to travel down my body. But not in a bad way you understand. More rhythmic, dance inducing.

My thoughts became slightly confused. However, the more I puffed the more expansive my imagination became. I ended up having several mad daydreams / head-thoughts that seemed to defy time. In fact, keeping proper track of time seemed futile.

I didn't mind talking to the Mrs during the test, but I preferred being left alone to my imagination. The Mrs doesn't smoke, but I don't think she likes this strain. I only wanted to play by myself and not with her!

I must also add that this is pretty strong stuff. I can easily smoke 5g's a day post harvest, but I 'd struggle to do that with this gear (I will put that theory to the test very soon no doubt!). It also has a slight sleepy hangover to it.


In Summary

I'm so glad I gave this strain a go. Just gutted I didn't keep a cutting. Given most people report lanky, long flowering phenos from it, I'm not sure I'll try this strain again. Unfortunately I have neither the time or space to go pheno hunting. That said, stella weed!

a buddy of mine grew some a.i. last year and it still remains one of my top 3. although we noticed it is kinda unstable. there is one or 2 killer phenos though.

Hey Heavy, I did the same thing only I'm just now sprouting my AI seeds. I had some floaters in the pack. We'll see. I tried some AI a friend had and fell in love w/ the high. I smoked some when I was already high from other weed. It broke right through with a big up high bordering on trippy. It lasted well then mellowed into a nice body buzz. Too bad about the unpredictability and yield issues. I agree, this one probably goes into the personal stash category. Boy if we make this into a heavy yielder.....wow. peace.
 
...a lil' update. I've finished up the last of my a.i.

Couldn't ask for a nicer smoke. Still got a few beans left; I am seriously considering growing them out despite the various warnings.

Just in case anyone was wondering, no I couldn't smoke 5g's of this stuff in one sitting! Barely half that amount left me looking into my stash bag with equal amounts of lust and fear. Not super trippy like some proper hazes, but still demands respect and moderation. Mostly...

That nug looks great.Nice Report, the Smoke report setup was good lol
 
Thank you Mr Kush Dreams. I'm not a fan of the 'official' template. I know why they like us to use it, but it's a pain to fill out and horrible to read...

Sarah Palin should smoke some of that. Maybe she might see more than russia from her house.

I am going to follow this thread to see if others post and their experiances with this strain.
I have an AK Ice growing and would like to hear from others.
Here are a pic at about 2 months of veg. I am interested in what others are getting for yield and when the are going into flower.
