Hawaii Spice

Start of week 4 flowering.
I will be adding some top dressing shortly.
( bat guano and wormcastings )

Spice have most lovely structure to me, mainly the bud formation on stem.
Fruity smells completely disappered.
Today I have smelled something special for the first time. It is actually like some kind of ?food? on the background of sweet skunk.
After while it hit me, it is actuall smell of spices. And it is really nice smell !!

Very interesting strain.
There is some Hawaii in Sour Diesel and NYCDiesel, i wonder if its the Hawaii that gave the unique Diesel taste.

Your report spice smell maybe that will change whit curing.
 
Spice is very nice plant so far,
it has robust structure and mainly very good budding.

It will be really hard to judge all three plants from my ongoing selection.

The smells are evolving into more skunky side, with the spices moving more to the background. We will see what it will smell and look like in few upcoming weeks.

Start of week 7 - she is heavy :)

Spice is progressing to fruity skunky smell, the spices are still there, but more subtle. Now i love it :D
Bud shapes are phenomenal aswell.

I didnt grow out Critical Mass, but I can imagine it will be good race with Spice.

I grew spice this year outdoors. I only got one female so I can't compare it to anything but the plant I have is at least ten feet tall and doesn't look like yours at all. Infact it doesn't look much like any of the spice photos I've looked at. I wonder if my pack was mislabeled? I have never grown Spice so maybe I just have sativa leaning pheno. My Master Kush Skunk is done today, my Devil and Ortega I want to let go another week or two if I can, but I may not be able to because of rain and humidity and if not I think I will be ok cutting them down sooner. The Spice plant though seems like it is weeks away from being finished. I'll post a pic if anyone wants to see it. It isn't coated in resin yet.

Exact same thing here. Grew Spice outdoors. Of 8 plants, 6 males, 1 hermie, 1 female. The female just started flowering while all other strains been flowering 5-6 weeks. Looks nothing at all like Ptree's - lighter green leaves and half as thin, a thin leafed hybrid. Does not look anything at all like the pictures on the strain page. Actually, I like what I have better. I a using one of the males to make some seeds with some Afghan Haze females. Yeah, post a pic in your thread, I'll eventually get around to posting up some pics of mine.
 
Spice is still in production, so I believe she will be ready by the end of week 9->(or 9+).

This plant have enormous weight, considering its height.

She produce long and full spears of buds. The buds produce some kind of pointy fingers.

The buds are overfilled with fruity-spicy smells and very good amount of trichomes, she is very sticky.

This medium hard indica looking clip, is more on spongy side, swollen in trichome cover, glued like.

With overall nice bag appeal, its smells are very spicy and subtle fruity, lingering smell.

Vape is heating for mind, easing for legs, relaxation like - not sedation.
Taste is herbal, mainly peppery and oily like.
Good for managing things and just siting.

Side effect is cotton mouth and just slight heat behind eyes after while, but overall pretty good so far.


Now lets wait for proper longer cure for fair more decent testing.

Harvested some 40g of pungent spicy Spice.

Opening the bag reveals load of spicy smells - these are pretty.
But I miss some kind off fruity body that was there earlier.
Overall, the smell is unique to me.

Trichome show and that pretty bud look - spectacullar !

I have to see if I want to keep Spice, the smoke is good tho and looks are stunning !! !

Fruity terpenes (especially citrus) evaporate very quickly if they are in a dry environment during flowering time and curing.
If this is the case for you, increase the humidity of the jars where you store the buds to 50-55% RH (but you will need to ventilate more often to avoid mould risk).
