I got a pack of spice in the fall, and had poor germ rates. I went 1 for the first 12. I had to tear that grow down before the spice showed sex :mad: I got 1 female from the remaining 6 seeds, and she is the jimmy jam. (Shanti sent me a pack of SSH as a replacement for the bum pack) She smelled like burning rubber in veg, kinda slow. Dark green leaves with deep purple stems. Flowered after appx 30 days above dirt @ 18/6. EARLY resin production mabye 10 days after pre-flowers. Stems/leaves still smell like burnt rubber when rubbed, but buds smell disgustingly sweet. Covered in sticky slimy(the opposite of 'gritty')resin @ 6 wks. Will probably go 8-9 wks. Underside of entire plant is reddish purple. I have to get a pic of that somehow....I pollinated her with a Missippi Mud male (big, similar smell, fast, purple (more 'generic' royal purple), and The 1 SSH male of the 4 I cracked. He was shorter than the girls, lighter green, VERY branchy, no distinguishing scent, fruity/floral/skunky. About 4 weeks into flower, got overpowerfully hazy. Like a haze machine. The leaves got super skinny, and did the 360 curl maneuver. I can't wait to grow these crosses out.

Spice @ appx 6 wks:

Spice w/MissMud pollen:

Spice w/SSH pollen (Hoping for 100+ seeds!):

hi realy intrested in doing this line my self im realy suprised there is so little grow info from people that have grown it out online.

barletta i love to hear how she smoket for you.
 
Hempy - She got hit real bad when I moved the male out of the garden, so I ended up with hundreds of seeds, and not much spice lol. I didn't properly dry or cure any of my Spice. I kinda just trimmed, dried for 1-2 days, and rolled out the seeds. I grew the plant under flouros in about 2l of soil, so after the seeds, I ended up with maybe 5 grams. Balanced high, not overpowering. I just put 8 sprouts down of the spice x ssh, and revegging the orig spice is cake. No mutating, just new veg growth, like it never missed a beat. I will be taking cuts and running her properly soon.
 
hiya barletta well things can go rong on the brite side you have lots of seed now to re grow and find a keeper.

I am a big fan of hawiian strains long story short grew a hawiian sativa in the 80s and lost the line been in search of her ever since and have not found any thing close to her in taste affect and look.

The spice is on my list of things to do and i ran a search on line tryed to find photos and info from people that grew her out and there is very little on this line wich i found supriseing as i have only read positive things from people that have grown her out like Gatorbait posted below i know shanti likes the flowers from her as do others that have grown her but it would be nice to find a few grow logs to see her threw her diffrent stages of a grow.
 
I know the feeling!

barletta and Hempy,

I smoked some Hawaiian in the 80's when you could still call on the postal service for prompt and protected delivery (I knew a friends sister in Hawaii at the time)... awesome smoke, definately a sativa rocket buzz, but if you smoked enough, like 2 bongs... wasted! I mean one was enough, but being dumb and young and cash available... I was a ready buyer... The smell, appearance, buzz/meds... outstanding! I hear Shanti has a really really nice Hawaiian male... well he has alot of really nice moms and pops! hehe

I really would like to see more growers reporting Spice and hope to grow maybe this fall!

Soooooooooooooooooooo, we need pics barletta! :D

barletta... I really can't wait to see and hear yours (and others) Spice project!

The Spice female that I ended up with was one of the prettiest plants that I have grown so far. Indica leaning hybrid, dark green leaves in veg, stems smell like burning rubber when rubbed. Looks very indica in veg, but kinda branchy. Beautiful dark purple stems. Flowered in appx 1/2 gal pot w/ amended FFOF. Fed guano, ewc, algamin, occasional 'bottle' fert (PBP, age old, EJ,b-1, whatever). Flowered after appx 1 month above dirt (@ 20/4). Took a while to sex, maybe 3 full weeks. Flowered with 2 x 125w envirolights in a mylar lined stand up shower with other plants @12/12. Got pollinated by Miss Mud (JLP), Pine Bud x G-13 (Gypsy Nirvana), and HEAVILY seeded by a delicious SSH. Topped in veg, and grown entirely under flouro's, 2 nice 'spear/fat candles' style colas, decent bottom branching. I cut her progressively from 7-9 weeks to get the seeds, and not smoke the rest of my crop early lol. I didn't get enough seedless bud to cure, but it was strong and dank tasting right off the bat. I lost the clone that I took, so I am currently re-vegging her to give up clones then transplant outside.

I have 7 Spice x SSH that are about a week out of the dirt, and I will be taking clones of the momma Spice in a week or so. These will all hit flower in about a month. I'll post a diary here.

On a side note, I have only been growing for about a year, and before I grew I figgured that ALL of the names of pot that I bought were made up. However, at hippie shows (early 90's), I used to look for bud that people claimed as 'Hawaiian'. I bought Spice because of that, along with Pakalolo forom the Sativa Seed Bank. They are a Nirvana off shoot, so who knows about the true lineage, but Pakalolo is supposed to be a Hawaiian sativa stabilized in Holland, blah, blah, blah..... Anyway, I am finishing 2 of these now, and they are lovely sativas. One went from stinky to hazy, now sweet, and the other from feet/cheesy, to sweet. Pretty uniform, and definetly worth the $15 or so that I spent on em.

P.S. I am not pushing pakalolo, as SSH is worth every penny @ $170 lol.
