Hello everyone this is my first thread and post so ill try not to mess up. Ok here we go. I have 1 ice plant from nirvana seeds she is 6 weeks in flower and I am useing 430W hydro hood HPS with a 6 IN. fan to duct it out i just ducted out my A.C unit (which is a wall unit) Ill have pics. later today. I am useing connoisseur A & B from AN (which dosent do that well in my opinion). I am in a DWC rubbermaid tub 8 gallon. So heres my problem my buds are red and hard at 6 weeks is this normal? They have been this way for a week now everyone is telling me "they are done crop them!" but it say 56-63 days for flower in my books I have, the hairs look to be falling off some of the buds to, but I want to get the the most out of it you know.All I know is they look nothing like any ice I have seen they look like some afghani I grew on my last grow but smaller! I need help here people I have put alot into these and it doesnt look like it is going to pay off. Could it be the strain of ice has anyone else had this problem with nirvana's ice? Please any advise would be helpful.:peace:

I'm interested to see the pics as Nirvana's Ice will be my next grow. I've heard that there are basically to main phenotypes, a more indica and a more sativa. The indica apparently finishes faster. Maybe this is what's going on?

Have you looked at the trichomes with a scope at all? Red hairs don't always mean its done. What are your temps and humidity in the grow space? This could lead to the hairs drying out faster.

I've grown several "white" strains from Nirvana and none have ever finished before 65 days.

My temps were in the 90's at the first 3 weeks or so but I have duct out my AC unit to go in my grow room so now temps stay like 80 to 85 RH is at 55% right now but gets lower like 45%. I wish I had a camera right know to show you what I mean by red I mean they look done but the triks are still mostly clear about 70% clear 30% cloudy. Do you have any pics of your white strains finished out? I need something to go by thanks.

One of my white strains would drop the red hairs at the end and be ALL white. You really need to check those pistils will a microscope. The last week of flowering is the MOST important.

hey buddy.. how do your plants look? you should post up some photos of them.

I'm growing the exact same strain that your have going currently. This is my first time growing the 'Ice' strain from Nirvana. But I'm very impressed with the strain.. very impressed. It's one of my favorite Nirvana strains for sure.

I've got two ladies going.. dubbed them as the 'Ice Sistas'. Here's a few pictures of both ladies. Oh.. and lastly.. they are 31 days into flowering (middle of week #5). The buds haven't exploded just yet (calyx's haven't swollen up yet).. but once that takes place.. KAAABOOOOOM! I think I'm looking at around 2ounces wet, then probably 1.5 ounces once dried and cured. Anyhow, check out these recent update pics of the two bitches..
