Which seed bank did you get the ICE from?

marijuana-seeds.nl

Stilll lookin forward to growin some out of my new seeds. I had a terrible germination rate with them (2 of 10) but how much of that was my own fault is anyone's guess. The 2 that did grow grew like monsters, but my root problems ended up being the death of 'em.

I just hit some 8.5 week WW and its damn near dry after 16 hours (just the tiny bud I popped off of a medium sized one)

I have 2 medium sized buds I cut yesterday that left intact can dry in as little as 4 days if I leave them open. When I dont rush it I dry in a paper bag, it takes a few days longer and I cure in tupperware but wont be doing that much any more (trichs get stuck to the bottom)

Thanks for the info again, Help. I laid a small one out to dry last night. I'll check it out in a day or two.

So I guess my clones look alright then?

Atm I'm debating turning a bigger rubbermaid container I have into another res and using it. Not sure atm because putting the screen together was a bitch, I'd have a little less vertical height, etc. I definitely want to try the Lucas formula this next run. Dumping the res all the time is a pain in the ass.

not to get off topic but, u gotta keep replyin cuz she keeps ,osin clotheslol. oh yea gl wit the clones

[screwdababylon!]

man its been a hard time for u
u deserve a medal! 4 real!
good looking buds ur drying + hash + clones =

clones:
looks like thay can make it
but its not really good idea to put em into rockwool
id recomend u to scan the robs thread for some cloning tips
ive made a simple cheap ass cloner like rob did
and already have some roots one one of em.

chop those leafs man clones dont need em!

[RobsGreen]

I bet your holding out on the good pics.

I promise I'll do some reading your next grow, congrats man looks great.

[screwdababylon!]

yo ROB
tell him that im right

to be honest - yesterday ive read one thread here about rockwool cloning
im shure its not buried somwhere yet - just search "rockwool cloning" or something
the dude clone in rockwool pretty well

its more easy to clone in hydro
and wach the results (IMO)

post your cloning here man
a lot of us still need some cloning skills

hey darth that sucks it seems like it was a long tough ride with your babies but at least you got a beautiful lookin plant which i am sure will have some good smoke and a fuck-load of experience lookin forward to the smoke report and your next grow man

S'allrightythen. Not trying to resurrect this thread, but I've been on hiatus for a couple weeks and wanted to finish this one off before starting my new one.

Final weight: 13g, a hair shy of a half oz

I don't think it's too bad of a pull all things considered. My BIG plants ended up dying, and the only one I got bud off of was the runt of the two Aurora Bs. I don't think it vegged for more than 3 weeks, and I never topped it, scrogged it, or did anything to it at all. Plus I had to pull it a couple weeks early.

For me to utilize my space effectively, I really need to scrog. This one plant only took up maybe 1/10th of my possible grow space.

This is about enough to get me through the next few months til my next harvest I believe. I also yielded some nice qwiso hash, and though it's more like oil than anything it's the kill.

Ended up drying for about 5 days, and curing in a jar for about 10. Been in a bag since and is just now about right I'd say.

I accidentally ended up compressing my buds a bit (during a drunken acoustic guitar playing marathon...), but here's a few pics of the final, final, product:

As I've stated previously, I haven't smoked anything real good in a looooong time, and I'm not as big of a smoker as a lot of my friends. However, this stuff, even though it was pulled early, etc, is the kill. I've gotten nothing but rave reviews from my friends, of which a couple have had to get a bowl from me in order to show other people what the funk is like. It's been called "magnificent", I've impressed 60 year old hippies with it, etc...

IMO, it's the best I've smoked in about 8 years. 1-3 hits and I get high and can still somewhat function in normal society. It has a good up that puts a smile on your face. 4+ hits and you're on the couch for 3 hours. Don't make plans.

Smell is skunky fire, and the taste is beeee-autiful.

All in all, even this small of a pull and all the issues on the way, it was definitely worth it.

So, this is the end of this journal. Thanks again for everyone for all the feedback, advice, and input.

Good to see ya, zab.

Clones are still alive, though they've already had some issues. I will start the next journal soon.

So, I'll leave this one with some pics of what I consider a few of the hottest fucking women on the planet:
