Alright some of the blueberry muffin were harvested (3 out of the 9 I had). I will update with more pictures and final weight in a week or two.
So I had two different phenotypes. One wthat turned out purple, was ready about two weeks earlier and and seems to be a little bit more resistant to cold. The other one has yet to be harvested. They both smell the same thing ; an absolutely amazing smell of...blueberry muffin! I honestly think I could have pinpoint the blueberry muffin smell without even knowing the name of the strain. Overall it was a fun and beautifull plant to grow. The branches are very stiff and do not work too well with lst. They are able to support themselves without support but can snap easily if it gets windy.
Would I grow it again? Yes, absolutely. For the smell alone it a strain worth growing, and altough I don't have final weight yet, the yield is good. If I was to grow it again, I would make an indoor pre-run and isolate the blue phenotype tho. The blue phenotype seems to be generally more resistant to the cold nights if september and is ready almost two weeks earlier, which are two very favorable characteristics to have when growing in my area.
Hi fellow gardener,
I've just found your diary, It will be very nice to follow as Freezeland is not common these days, at least for me.
Used to be the best stuff back in late 90's where I in Quebec. It's a fantastic strain I remember how sticky and smelly it was... a true delight with intense pine smell with some touch of orange in some phenotype.
@sativaman, Happy to hear that you enjoyed the NL x BB...I don't know much about this strain and decided to grow it mostly because it is suppose to be ready for chop early in the season. And yeah the freezeland I get is from clone only. I might do the project of making seeds with it next year, I know that would make a few people happy!
@OldNorth, I wish I've kept some seeds as well. I will also keep an eye on your NL X Big Bud .. good memories around this strain too ! I wish you a great season!
@sativaman, Yes it is a wonderfull strain...perfectly suited for my northern climate. I am lucky enough to have an old friend who also love the freezeland and has been keeping the genetic for 25 years +.
I actually have two pheno of freezeland in the field. One of them we call crypto-freeze. It tends to produce the most of the two but it usually takes an extra week and a half to be fully ripe. If you harvest bedore full maturity, the smell is lacking massively. Depending on the weather here, the extra week and a half can be a little bit of a pain.
The second one is bubbleberry freeze. As the name says, it is suppose to be a cross of freezeland, bubblegum and blueberry, Doesn't yield as much but is ready a little sooner, around september 23-26th ususally.
@simps, It's an organic bloom fertilizer made using the korea natural farming method. Pretty simple to make. You take a bunch of fruits like banana, apple, and mango that you cut in pieces and mix with equal weight of fruits to sugar. You mix all of this and let it sit for about 14 days for the fermentation process to occur. You end up with a black liquid that is rich phosphorus in potassium. You mix it in with your water to a ratio of 1:1000 in early flower and 1:500 in the later stage. Look "fermented fruit juice knf" on google and you will get a bunch of results if you want to learn more.
