Has anyone else found one of the energetic phenos? Of course you would have to take it down before 60+ days to retain the effect. But one of the really crystal covered ones - has a big mental racing effect, with a good amount of the focused meditative state.

Just curious if anyone else came across this pheno? It seems to have more of a stretch than most of the others.

Two years old but you just described my cut to the tee, thats why I kept her!

Also quick question guys, I have been using maxibloom the whole time and I picked up some koolbloom to use as well. My ladies are at 31 days now from the flip, anyone have some advice on when to use the koolbloom for these girls?

Thank you mates. I'm happy how she turned out.

The dry weight on the little lady was a little over 2 1/4 ozs.

Naturally I have smoked some of the smaller buds, while I let the colas cure some more. The initial taste is creamy vanilla, followed by a definite pine taste

It has a strong high, I am able to function well, but in a nice relaxed state.

The sativa pheno has been harvested and is currently drying. I will give you my impression of her when she is cured.

Peace
From your pics the taste and high seem to be right on to what i consider the handgrenade pheno,the sativa pheno you have looks what I call the keeper ,if the buds are loose and airy its not the keeper, the buds will be hard and dense and the old school pine taste is more prevailant she will be a lung buster:)

I was thinking that she was the "handgrenade" pheno, hoping anyway.

As for the sativa pheno, the buds looked like pine trees up until the last two weeks. They were fluffy and airy at that point, then they just exploded and finished up looking like pineapples and almost as dense as the indica. The aroma reminds me of Campino candies, creamy fruity, if you know what I mean.

The taste has a definite pine flavor and something else I have yet to figure out. I find it pretty smooth, not really a lung buster.

I find the high to be strong, slightly trippy. I say this because I catch myself in moments of deep contemplative thought. At the same time I can be social. Love it.

Btw, the trich count is heavy. I made some hash from the sugar leaves. Awesome hash my friends.

I will post some pics when I get a chance.

Peace

Thanks Tonygreen, I know what you mean, she was a solid girl from the roots up.

The same however could not be said for the sativa pheno. Don't get me wrong, the sativa grew fast and healthy, but with spindly branches that couldn't support the buds.

That forced me to try the scrog method and I never looked back.
Here's a few pix to show you what I mean



Hey bi0hazard, here's a few more of the sativa pheno. I apologize for the quality of the shots.

When do you think she adds the most frost?

I have some killer queen redux on the way, hoping to find a fat stem boy and see if I can make it do what it do. I can't find no ice cream cross threads :(.

I say go for it. Ice Cream crosses may not work well towards a hybrid IBL seed line, but rather open up the potential of amazing hybrid phenos that could be preserved as cuts.

Reversed Ice Cream (m) x KKSC (or) x Sour Diesel (or) X any Chemdog genetics would be killer.

My vote would be for ECSD and/or Mass Super Skunk. I was never a huge fan of the KKSC although I know plenty of people that are.I have to admit though the last KKSC i smoked was pretty good.Good luck with the project Bio..

Thanks tonygreen. She was about 55 days. I usually stop feeding nutes about a week or so before harvest. Then leach with clear solution and give only water till harvest. I also like putting her in the dark for three days or so. It's supposed to help with frosting.

Btw, Maxi bloom is the way to go, isn't it. I got caught up in all the Advanced nutrient hype when i first started growing, but soon found the K.I.S.S. System and can't believe how well it works.

I saw pix of your girls, they're looking great. Happy harvesting

Thanks man!

Maxi is so easy, I am just sad I spent money on the bag of the maxigrow too because i would rather have had two maxiblooms. lol.

Im at day 55 now, the buds swelling like crazy but still alot of white hairs that are on 3 of the plants, one just has some wispy white hairs left and seems to be finishing faster, I'm letting em go another week it seems.

@Tonygreen @jm420
It's going to be a long wait I'm afraid.
But I subbed this thread and I'll definitely post pictures when I have something relevant :)

happy to be among Ice Cream lovers ;) TBH I came across it by chance, since it's one of the few available in my area (that is, weed-wise: the middle ages).

see ya!

I have them in my album you can look there, that one above is a link where I thought I could post it big.

The pics are from my furthest along of my 4 girls, I had a mouse attack the other 3 and I handled it but I think the damage set them back a week-10 days or so behind my sexy girl due to stress possibly.

I was hoping to chop this weekend and I have been flushing for 3 days now. I notice some burn when I began flushing I attribute to a bit too much on the koolbloom, I tossed a little more at her then she wanted I think, I found out her limits this run though and she has taken everything I threw at her in stride cept maybe a tad heavy on the last koolbloom feed. Although the flush is probably making it appear more on the old big fan leaves.

Gonna play it by ear, I am looking for big swollen retarded buds with hairs receding into the calyx type deal, I have a radio shack scope but havent bothered to check trics yet.

Short answer: I hope this weekend if not next for sure I think! Nervous about the cure, no money for hygrometers atm... lol

one more...

I suppose I will have a gander but I don't want to trick myself into chopping early... lol
I was looking mainly for rock hard retarded lookin swollen budzzz. The big buds are hard in the middle maybe a little outer layer of softness, lower soft yet. They will go at least till friday night at the soonest due to work.

I keep remembering a post I read somewhere here about a guy going off on "pros" rockin their "8 week" strains and pullin out their fancy eyepiece abd to the effect when it is done there will be no doubt in your mind... lol I will have a gander through the scope and see what I see tom maybe then. lol.

Nervous about choppin early and curing... lol
