Freakshow IBL #CannapediaGrowersCup4th

mutantfarmer All the plants are showing the Freakshow leaf mutation to varying degrees. I'll be doing the phenotype descriptions after determining the sex. Over the week, the plants received watering with a solution of 450-530ppm 5.8pH. I started measuring the yield on the last watering on 14.10, and it showed 600-850ppm, 5.5-5.7pH across different plants. I thoroughly watered everyone with a solution of 450ppm, 5.8pH. A couple of plants are showing signs of nutrient blockage, with yellowing appearing on the lower cotyledons. Otherwise, they have proven resilient to nutrient issues and overwatering. This week, I'm not discarding anyone. FS#11 is the weirdest dude, showing slow growth and the most distorted structure of the first leaves. I'm curious to see how it develops further.

mutantfarmer All the plants are growing actively, without any problems. The aphid attack I mentioned in another report didn't affect the Freakshow plants, but they were treated just like all the others, which didn't impact the growth process. Throughout the week, the plants were watered with a solution of 450-530ppm 5.8pH. At the end of the week, I started adding CalMag to the solution. During the week, drainage wasn't measured. FS#11 self-topped and is growing on two colas.

mutantfarmer The freaks are actively growing without showing any ailments. Almost no operational actions were taken besides measurements. As a result of discovering an issue with the pH meter (see my report Drunken Bastard x Freakshow) and new measurements, it turned out that the pH level reaches 5.0-5.4. After identifying the issue, I gave the plants a larger volume of solution, hoping for a quick correction of the indicators. I also raised the nutrient level from 500-550 to 580-630, and the yield from different plants does not exceed the input levels. This week, I transplanted the mother plant Freakshow #8 from 1L to 3.8L to allow the plant to grow in volume and take clones for the seed production line. While taking photos, I sweetly took a hit, was charmed by the Freakshow dynasty, and couldn't pass by without taking a family photo.

mutantfarmer Vegetation, Week 4. The freaks are actively growing without showing any ailments. The sexual characteristics are just starting to form and are practically invisible. No operational actions were taken besides inspection and measurements. So I'll just show a couple of amusing mutations on two samples. FS#3 has fasciation on the first floor, both leaves and branching points are located on one side. FS#11 is self-topped from the start. One cola has the correct structure like the main stem (opposite arrangement), with the growth points at the same level. The second cola is a branch, with alternating growth points (alternating arrangement). During the week, we received a solution of G.H.Feeding Grow + pH Down, with readings of 5.9-6.2pH and 650-710ppm.

mutantfarmer I hardly did anything with the plants, just watering, topping, and inspections. I'm waiting for them to show their sex traits. So far, male plants are predominant. The freaks have shown 2 distinctly different phenotypes in terms of leaf shape, with the dominant type having leaves where the fingers overlap starting from the base, resembling bird feathers. Within the phenotypes with this structure, there are also different types. The second main phenotype with straight fingers, where there's a clear separation of the leaf and small leaflets are located at the tips of the fingers, is less common. I think by next week I’ll be able to clearly identify who's a girl and who's a boy and choose the cup lady. Throughout the week, we were using a solution of G.H. Feeding Grow + pH Down, with readings of 5.8-6.2pH and 670-730ppm, twice a day.

mutantfarmer FS#8 was the first to show female characteristics (I hope I'm not mistaken), so I decided to choose her as my contender for the #CannapediaGrowersCup4th in the Hybrid category. I transplanted her into a new container - a comfortable price/quality equivalent to FloraFlex for 1 gallon (the original isn't available in my country yet, unfortunately). The substrate is also coconut + perlite, and I filled the container with about 2-2.5 liters. Also, #8 showed recessive traits - the leaf shape has straight fingers and a short distance between the nodes. She resembles her mother but is more branched. This week, I conducted a major selection, sampling the phenotypes. I discarded the plants that didn't have the characteristics I need or had unwanted ones. Most of the plants turned out to be male + 8/12 plants exhibited a phenotype with "feather-like" leaves, medium-long distance between nodes, and good branching - I discarded all of them. FS#9, FS#5, FS#11 - showed the trait of the mother - short distance between nodes, gender still unidentified, waiting.

mutantfarmer FS#8 #CannapediaGrowersCup4th no interventions in the life of the plants were made, and no time was spent, just watering. The same applies to the other plants from the report. During the week, we received a solution of G.H.Feeding Grow + pH Down, with readings of 5.8-6.2pH and 700-780ppm, twice a day.

mutantfarmer [forgot to take a photo 😠] I haven't been working on the plants because of the "reset" of my greenhouse. I lowered the nutrient concentrations and for a week they were getting a solution of G.H.Feeding Grow + pH Down, with readings of 5.8-6.2pH and 650ppm, every 2-3 days.

mutantfarmer FS#8 At the beginning of the week, I checked on the plant; the root system in the 2L pot hasn’t really developed much, so I carefully removed the excess coco and moved it to a 1L FloraFlex. I trimmed all the excess, left 4 tops, and stretched them to one level. After that, I gave it a couple more days of veg, switched to 12/12, and changed the nutrients from Grow to Hybrid. The aroma at this stage is bright citrus, like orange candies - Skittles. G.H. Feeding Hybrid + pH Down, with readings of 5.8-6.2pH and 850ppm, once a day.

mutantfarmer FS#8 #CannapediaGrowersCup without interference. It started growing, stretching its branches out to the sides. G.H. Feeding Hybrids + pH Down, with readings of 6.0-6.3pH and 880-950ppm, once a day.

mutantfarmer FS#8 #CannapediaGrowersCup is sprouting dandelions, the flower buds on FS are as strange as the leaves. For a week, daily watering with G.H.Feeding Hybrids, 6.2-6.3 pH, 930-960 ppm. + Did a foliar treatment with Simplex Mass.

mutantfarmer FS#8 #CannapediaGrowersCup4th is feeling good, there’s a bit of sugar scattered on the leaves. I lowered the base and added G.H.Feeding Booster PK+. Other than that, it’s been a week without interventions, just watering and photos. Throughout the week, daily waterings with G.H.Feeding Hybrids + Booster PK, 6.2-6.3 pH, 930-980 ppm.

mutantfarmer FS#8 #CannapediaGrowersCup4th the buds are swelling and smelling sweetly of citrus. I left it for a couple of days without watering (didn't check if the timer was on🙈). The plant didn't suffer and bravely endured the drought, just in case I'm watering with a diluted solution. Throughout the week, daily waterings: Before the drought G.H.Feeding Hybrids + Booster PK, 6.2-6.3 pH, 930-980 ppm. After the drought G.H.Feeding Hybrids + Booster PK, 6.2-6.3 pH, 850-900 ppm.

mutantfarmer FS#8 #CannapediaGrowersCup4th is developing buds and getting covered in trichomes, everything's good. Daily waterings for the week: G.H.Feeding Hybrids, 6.2-6.3 pH, 820-850 ppm

mutantfarmer FS#8 #CannapediaGrowersCup4th frik sugary, aromatic, but the buds come out quite airy. Daily waterings for a week: G.H.Feeding Hybrids, 6.2-6.3 pH, 820-850 ppm

mutantfarmer Harvest FS#8 #CannapediaGrowersCup4th turned out to be a beautiful plant, aromatic with sugary leaves, and buds showing purple hues, but the structure of the buds leaves much to be desired. Nearby were 2 little sisters that produced the same result. In the last cycle, when I was selecting parents, one of the female plants exhibited an identical structure. I lean towards the idea that this is a recessive trait, which the mother had in a heterozygous form, as it did not manifest in her phenotype. Right now, I have a couple of dozen Freaks set aside to check for sure. And I distributed seeds from other mother plants to a few interested parties for testing. So soon I will confirm my theory, but for now, further work on the strain is definitely required. The aroma is sweet, fruity-floral, reminiscent of citrus with peach.
