F2 Purple Auto Freak Hunt 400+seeds

Frumplepuff 27 Little F2 Freaks from my favourite female F1. She had 180 seeds. This feels like a great outcome from some of the other grows I've seen! a couple are questionable, most are undeniable!

Frumplepuff So far so good! Everyone’s healthy. Looking forward to seeing the different plants grow a bit more and show some true fan leaves!

Frumplepuff Update! It’s probably not actually week 3 but who cares! Here’s so individual photographs of each leaf morphology! I said a fancy word, I don’t know if it’s proper. A few haven’t made the cut! Next update will be to share the early males and early flowering! Enjoy!

Frumplepuff Pictures 1-4 are the female! The darkest purple so far on display. I’m surprised how early she is showing this deep purple. This is truly what I want to see from this freak line. Nice deeeeep dark! I have 10 other females I’m waiting to see if they do any shifting! Pictures 5-6 are the male. he’s so stinky and so mutant I hope he produces. I had a problem with one of my early males pollen sacs drying out in the greenhouse from 34 Celsius days and super low humidity. I moved everything indoors despite battling thrips with orius insidious and some swirski mites. I’m certain I’ll need to order more bugs this week but I’m gonna go with some lacewing larvae now. Anyhow my super twisted up super mutant looking plant turned out to be a male. I’m thrilled about that because he also stinks like a female. My original now dried up male doesn’t smell much at all. Hopefully moving indoors saved my males or else I’m gonna back breed to another dark purple and start the process over (fingers crossed I don’t have to do that) Hopefully my super mutant stinky male shows a pinch of purple as time goes on. I find males shows it later on rather than earlier! I’m praying! Love breeding so I can’t really be discouraged. I do it purely for the love

Frumplepuff We got a purple freak male with some visible trichomes! And a purple freak lady with some seriously black looking colour. Autoflowering their way into a future f3 seed! Frig 😭 I love it

Frumplepuff So far so good! She’s going to be so dark and crystally. Pollen collection is a real pain in the ass with freakshows, they barely give off any at all! I have to collect individual open pods and let them dry out before hammering them with the blunt end of a paint brush on aluminum foil and sort of rolling pollen onto the hairs using the wood end of the paintbrush. The males start with exposed manners instead of closed pods. However, when they’re ready they still have a mini pod casing that open up like a star and lets you know the time is right. Then you collect them with tweasers, dry them a bit and mash them! Anyhow, I think she’s good and pollinated. She’s definitely going to be impressive!

Frumplepuff I did my best to pollinate her! I pray she takes! As I mentioned before, the males produce so little pollen it’s embarrassing!

Frumplepuff I did the impossible, I seeded the ebony freakshow so hard to get pollen but she’s filled with seeds now! Very excited! P.s. I’m not sure what week of flowering this is, I just post whenever there’s a new exciting development! Woo! Thank you for joining me on the journey so far!!!!

Frumplepuff I found some bright pink/purple trichomes all over the plant. Thought I’d share!

Frumplepuff Another update! She’s getting super thick and very dense. I have no idea what actual week of flowering it is but I’m very impressed and stoked to keep going. Still has a very earthy smell!

Frumplepuff 4 weeks into flowering. Unbelievable sized cola! I intentionally grew in a very small pot to keep the plant size small but had no idea it would produce such a large Cola so fast. Can’t wait to see it again in another month. I’m afraid she’s going to snap the stem before the seeds mature. May have to add support!

Frumplepuff Some more up close beautiful shots of the colour and crystal. The weed smells a lot like meat, it’s strange lol. It’s become very stinky. I’m so proud to have bred this plant. I’m hoping for many F3 seeds! It’s extremely dense, hard as rock. The cola has far exceeded the size of a pop can at this point. I love this little plant

Frumplepuff These two photographs were taken 1 month apart. ⚡️ I believe this plant is in its 5th or 6th week of flowering based on the few pictures I have! I’m going to try to take it to ten weeks !

Frumplepuff Beautiful plant. Beautiful girl behind the plant. I love growing.

Frumplepuff I was asked to show the whole plant 🌱 For the first 3 weeks I grew it in a 4 inch pot. When I discovered it was a female and it had really nice purple flowers , I transplanted it to a 1 gallon bag. It was intentionally meant to stay small and not branch out much. This is how I manage breeding large numbers. Structure is still easy to determine this way, I just watch which plants show prominent node growth compared to others. Both this girl and her purple male counterpart had great node growth. I select plants for structure. I watch how much effort each plant puts into its nodes. This plant has excellent structure. I intentionally stunted its growth due to my limited space and because I was dealing with large numbers of plants to find this one! I will continue to grow them small so I can explore all the seeds. I have a lower number of seeds than I had hoped for due to male freakshows being really pathetic pollinators and it being my first time working with male freakshows! I’ll be ready this time. I hope I find this exact massive bud pheno again!

Frumplepuff I have a theory. I think that extraordinary bud size is due to the make up of the bud structure. It seems to be predominantly made up of small simple sugar leaves rather than the bracts of a normal cannabis bud. I believe these leaves are making the plant extremely efficient at flower building. They grow directly out of the flower clusters, capturing light that the tiny inefficient fan leaves miss out on. They help accelerate absorption of light, water, and carbon dioxide into sugars to feed the developing buds/sugar leaves The sugar leaves sit right inside the flower, delivering local energy directly to where the plant needs it most during blooming. If my theory is correct then I have some interesting tests to do if I’m able to stabilize it!
