Frosty like the north pole!

My ice cream cake & strawberry starburst run got the chop chop this week. Tons of nice blends of purple, hella frost, and wintergreen. Did some aggressive trimming pre flower and at day 21 but she still bushed out a little and had way too much larf at 50% of the canopy. The next run back will get the same aggressive pre flower haircut but this time I will only keep the top bud sites hoping this will stop at only secondary lower growth with HUGE tops.

Reset gear will be Jinx proof genetics and of course some ICC#8.

A.) 9lb punch.
B.) Problem child.
C.) ICC#8

Well done that looks amazing! Look up my proper popping technique. I utilize the vegetative growth while still pruning out bud sites and keeping just cola

It takes a little know-how and a leap of faith but results are softball bat size colas

A quick follow up question to your post.

Would you like to expand on your method to help other members in the community?

What do you grow with? Hydro/soil/coco?

What do you grow under for lighting to accomplish this?

What nutrient line helped achieve these frosty ladies?

And last but not least…whose genetics are you using? Seeds? From? Clone ? Who’s and what?

1.) Would you like to expand on your method to help other members in the community?

Sure no problem im always down to help and better the technique of my fellow growmies. My regiment is much like a used car mechanic that shops at the junk yard… I may not have the newest and most expensive gear but my setup is functional, practical, and mostly 2nd hand from offer up lol.

This is my 1st indoor run, my experience is from outdoor. So my thoughts were to just maintain humidity for veg 60-80, flower 40-60. BUT I let my temps pretty much run with what mother nature has to offer. Temps never were higher then 70-85 degrees VEG, 40-75 degrees FLW. Ive read a lot of grow books especially Ed Rosenthals lineup.

2.) What do you grow with? Hydro/soil/coco?

My medium is used up ocean forest soil, which i ammend at 1:1 with some with cheap new organic soil from my local nursery.

3.) What do you grow under for lighting to accomplish this?

8 bar style no name brand 680w LED. Started at 50% for the 1st week, 80% second week, 3wk to finish 100%. During veg my height was 24" and 6" in flower.

4.) What nutrient line helped achieve these frosty ladies?

A. Fox farm trio
B. Humbolt secret sweet n sticky, and the
C. Bloom City cal mag & silica.
D. Organic top dress worm casting every 4 weeks.

5.) And last but not least…whose genetics are you using? Seeds? From? Clone ? Who’s and what?

All my gear is hand me down seeds from others.

A. Ice cream cake, by jungle boys.
B. Strawberry Starburst, by irie genetics.

Conclusion:

I did this run to prove to my self and others that u dont need the latest n greastest equipment to have fun and grow a decent flower. I credit all my knowledge mainly from Ed Rosenthals books.

Thank you! Still trying to get used them as this is only the 2nd run I have on them. Hopefully the 3rd run is the charm.

Very nice. :call_me_hand:t3:
