Growing it
Hard
Resistance
Weak
This strain struggled in the Maine climate. Not a strain I'd grow again outdoors. I lost a lot to bud rot and earwigs. Ice cream cake was the least resilient of the strains I grew. The septoria probably hurt the yield some. It certainly is some very potent cannabis though. Grew tall and sativa like. Super long flowering time with small lime green bugs that reek. I'm going to review the other strains in with this. There were five and one is still outside. The mystery one in the fifty gallon pot grew amazing. It was monster cropped and had soda can size buds everywhere. Smelliest pot I've ever grown. My wife lost her sense of smell. I had one bud from this plant (I cut off this morning) in the car for a short period and she noticed it right off. I did good this year. I have multiple strains that are all awesome. Whatever was in the 50 gallon was the best pot I've ever grown. EVER. These two strains are still hanging but I tried a tester bud and it blew me away. I am so proud of this one. I don't weigh my pot wet. Shit I don't even weigh it dry. It's just my medicine. I share though. First year getting a pound off one plant though.
This product seemed to work well in place of tiger bloom.
Fox farms is a great product but I think I'll be going all organic next year.
I dry trimmed everything I harvested. What I mean is I cut all fan leaves while the plant was still in the ground. I trimmed what I could and hung the whole plant for a few days then separated branches. The ice cream cake and the large seedling are both still hanging intact. Ice cream cake was easy as it grew more like a sativa them the indicas I usually grow. Plant reached a height of 9 to 10 feet. Yield was some what diminished due to septoria. This strain seemed particularly sensitive to plant diseases.
Happy Harvest
@iHateSativa, Thanks man. Trim jail is a bitch
I have pictures that need to be uploaded and I will finish the smoke reports as soon as I get a chance to breathe. Still in trim jail.
Pound on 1 plant. Wow. In my dreams maybe. So lucky you have outdoors. Hope you enjoyed them harvests.
@gottagrowsometime, yeah bro the last few years have been kind for me. Luckily I could take the hit this year as I have some stored from last year and a little from the year before. Outdoor is the way it you can find a way to manage it in your climate.
Congrats on your harvest! Well done!! Enjoy and see you on the next one!! :ok_hand::muscle::pray:
