You know I've thought about it but haven't a clue how to do so, How many plants would I need etc. any help I'd appreciate. I looked through your grow long ago and was impressed. When I first got my ice seeds ordered I started searching for everyone that grew/grow it.

If you're only running three or four plants, that's a good number. Here's a very basic diagram that illustrates clearly the tuck process.



Just place a screen anywhere from 6" to 8" over your medium surface and bend the plants down in the direction you want them to spread on the screen. It might be a good idea to tie the big main trunk down first in order to let the plant grown into the screen horizontally... rather than just bending it outright against the screen.

Simple enough. Thanks for that.

Only thing I have laying around to use as a "screen" is some chain link fencing. Would that work out ok you think?

Yeah, if you can get it to the right dimensions somehow that'll work.

You'll get more weed... much more than just letting them grow straight up or even just tying by itself.

Damn, now my minds got scrog on the mind. Pretty amazing what some can do with a low yielding plant (been searching the net) so I'm wondering what I can do with 4 ICE in a scrog.

Rub a dub dub
Got ice in scrog....

I'll be doing this with the 6 I've got germin... ;) :leaf:

Sounds like a great plan there Tool :-) Especially the part of cloning him. I am amazed at all of the genetics that have transpired since the 70's (That's when I hung my roach clip until MMJ was needed this year) :-)

Hat's off to all of those that were, and still using genetics to making some killer weed :-)

Happy Holiday Trails !!

It is because alot of people start to mess with the strain and alter it and it can become rare to come across and people are starting to stop carrying regular seeds witch will be the huge problem down the road and alot of people ditch the males except for the breeders. The only time I would make feminized seeds is to make a seed stock of female plants that I have grown or am growing so if any thing happens to that female plant then I can just pop some seeds into water and start her from seed.

My goal is to get some good male plants of different strains and grow them out and turn feminized seed strains that are hard to find as regular seeds and make regular seeds of them.

Update time! But no pics till tomorrow. Been too sick to take pics BUT they're looking fantastic! Just switched em to 400 watt Metal Halide a few hours ago and they've already grown. Love it!

So I got a lot of seeds from my buddy who's a see collector. Wanna hear what I have? Of course you do! ;) before that tho, which should I germ first? :)
ok first up: orange crush. 3 seeds...
second: a Mexican "purple" strain. Says it come out purple specks. 4 seeds
thirdly: 1 white widow or pine berry. He's not sure but when it grows hell know!
Fourth: "moon" something or other lol.3 seeds.
5th: another purple type strain. Name unknown. He rated it a 6.5...
6th: 9 unknown name strains and characteristics. All various ratings.
7th: 3 seeds unknown name but considered his "#1"
8th: lastly a single seed rated a 9.5.

Which would you like to see me try??

Old school prince is always good. "When doves cry" is also a goody. :)

Ill have pics up in the next few hours. Got 3 sprouts of some ICE that came over night. Wasn't thinking about them and one is stretched like a tower. Lol, figures! :joint:

Youd be happy to know (Maine) that very same seed I'm wanting to grow as well. At least try to sprout it. That's my first goal is to get these to sprout since some are between a year and two years old. The Orange Crush I'm gonna put under too and possibly the white widow/pine berry mystery seed. :)

Pictures tomorrow. I know I say that a bit much but believe me. ;)

So I decided to germ 2 orange crush, 2 of the mexican "purple" strain and the one and only white widow or pine berry. Also two more ICE have sprouted totaling 5 ice sprouts and the bigger 3. :)

Sounds like you as well as myself, have their hands tied. Someone from here (Maine Patients) just gave me a hardly used 4 inch carbon filter unit. This thing is in prestine condition and will come in handy when I need to control some fine odor since I rent. ( I think these puppies go for like $140 bucks). On top of that, he gave me a bag of edibles. On top of that ... Inside the carbon box there were like a whole line of trial sizes of FF product. And then .... to top it all off .... He donated 2 NYC Sour Diesel clones :-)

And who said there is no Santie Klaus :-)

Take care my friend, and thanks :-)

So here are some pictures of where my little ones sit as promised. :)
lookin good and strong, these ones must be a different pheno type. My last ice was showing more traits of a sativa dominance, this one is looking smaller and bushier much like an indica. even the leaves are fatter then the last run. we shall see as the grow continues. ;)
as for the seedling sprouts, theyre seedling sprouts. weve seen it before. :) lol. nothing exciting. My other beans have yet to crack, but in the next few days they will if at all. hazah!
