So here is my week report on the fabulous Supafreak by HiElevation Genetics. Buckle up, because this girl is a wild ride! Oh my, let me tell you about this Supafreak. She's like no other girl I've ever grown before. From the moment she sprouted, I knew she was something special. Her unique characteristics and unruly growth had me hooked from day one. Now, we're approaching her final days, and it's time to make some crucial decisions. I've decided to stop all feedings and switch to just watering with Aptus Holland Fluvic Blast. Why, you ask? Well, let me break it down for you. First, let's talk about this Fluvic Blast. It's like a secret weapon for plant health. Fluvics are organic compounds that enhance nutrient uptake and stimulate plant growth. It's like giving my Supafreak a supercharge of awesomeness. And let me tell you, she's responding to it like a champ. One of the reasons I've chosen to go this route is because I believe in reutilizing my soil for future grows. It's like giving back to Mother Nature and keeping the soil alive and kicking. Fluvic Blast helps to replenish essential nutrients and promotes soil health, ensuring that my future plants will have a solid foundation to grow upon. Now, let's talk about her close-up shots. Oh boy, the trichome production is out of this world! It's like she's showing off her bling, sparkling with potency and beauty. I can't wait to see how she develops in these final days. And the smell, oh my goodness! It's unique and peculiar in the most delightful way. It's like a symphony of aromas that tickle the senses. I can't even put it into words, but trust me when I say, it's a scent that will linger in my memory forever. So, my friends, there you have it—my joyous, knowledgeable, and fun report on the magnificent Supafreak. She's one for the record books, and I'm grateful to have experienced this journey with her. Stay tuned for the grand finale, where we'll uncover the full extent of her freakiness. Until then, keep growing and keep smiling! As always thank you all for stopping by , for the love and for it all, i fell blessed to have you all with me for one more love journey, and a different one form the rest i did so far <3 <3 <3 Thank you Thank you Thank you , you guys are great and have been amazing , thank you for everything <3<3<3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dogdoctorofficial #growerslove
 With true love comes happiness , Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 Here are the words from this peace of art from nature creator Shapeshifter's @ HI-ELEVATION GENETICS <3 <3 <3 "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. How did you create/breed Freakshow? A. Methodical selection, line breeding, and culling is the short answer. Read our About page for more details. Q. Is it an indoor or outdoor type? A. Everything I've ever worked has been outdoors, including of course Freakshow. It has been our experience that outdoor (or sun grown, as it's recently being referred to) cultivars seem to perform extremely well under artificial conditions. This is true of seed starts or clones made from seed starts. The opposite is not always true; indoor clones often give an outdoor grower headaches because they don't always make the transition smoothly. This is due to light spectrum, temperature, and/or photoperiod changes. Yes, Freakshow will do exceedingly well indoors, and will thrive and mature just fine in a wide variety of natural environments as well, so it's definitely both and I think might even prove to be more resilient to those sorts of transitions. Q. What are the potency and terpenoid levels? A. Average 18-20% THCa, THC; negligible CBD, CBN with terps variable, averaging 2.5-3.5, primarily limonene and pinene, but this is variable, there was a lot of diversity in terp combinations and compositions in all the prior generations, it's just something that was left "as is" for now. The different parallel lines that we are developing can be directed in a few different pathways flavorwise. Q. Why are the seeds white? A. Why is the sky blue? No, the mature seeds are shrouded by a rice paper thin membrane which has coloring and mottling on it, but it's so fragile that it disintegrates in the process of shucking. Stripped of the outer layer the seeds are very pale, nearly white. It came as no surprise that this plant would have abnormal seeds. Q. Is it a GMO? A. Wow...? Well, it's seriously "modified" and the modifications are definitely genetic, and it is an organism. (Genuinely Modified Organically!) Uh, no. No radiation, no recombinant DNA, no gene splicing or editing, no TALEN or CRISPR! These biotechnologies don't belong in the food and medicine plant industries. Sadly, in the near future it will become commonplace and widespread in cannabis and other medicinal plants as it is already is with food crops and ornamentals. I'll avoid discussion on this topic for now, but we hope some people enjoy consuming Frankenbud! Q. What's the floral period length? A. 8-9 wks, finishes early Oct. at most latitudes and elevations. Q. Is it a big producer? A. Freakshow will produce nice, fat, dense colas (see gallery) with remarkable trichome coverage, and you can expect yields according to your veg. time, root space, and general knowledge and expertise as a gardener. The same set of variables apply to expected outcomes regarding cannabinoid levels and terpene profiles. Q.What is the lineage? A. (Bigbud x Skunk#1) x (Big Sur Holy Weed x Banana Kush). NLD("Sativa") dominant, but the afghanica influence is apparent. I'm pretty sure that Freakshow contains some Trainwreck and some Maui Wowie based on some research I did on the origins of the Pineapple Express. Interestingly Big Sur Holyweed, OG Kush, Banana, Trainwreck, and Maui Wowie are all of unclear origins. We have to remember that these are all just names and that they don't really mean much. The exact heritage of any cultivar today is impossible to determine accurately. Also, considering the amount of continuous shameless hybridization that has occurred in the last 40 yrs., any modern kind could easily contain over 40 kinds. In the case of Freakshow, it's much more limited because the ancestry is largely older "Sativas" that didn't go through as much outcrossing. In the 70s in Santa Cruz, Haze was a favorite among surfers for the pure energy and I still have (greatly improved) stock of it around, simply because even when I made hybrids with it I always kept the original in pure form for obvious reasons. Q. What is the psychoactive effect like? A. Like the flavors, many people have commented that the "buzz" is somewhat different than other mainstream types out there. It's not entirely out of the scope of imagination that given that this strain has new alleles in so many other respects, that it could also contain new, unique cannabinoids, as well as new and unique terpenoids, some of which may not even be among the standard 16 or so that the average lab is testing for. Aside from the up, cerebral, energetic boost, some report a mild time/space warp effect. Creativity and idea induction should be mentioned, for sure. Freakshow has the pure energy effect and greatly alters perception to the positive side, so definitely destroys depression. Appetite suppression is a side effect, but the enjoyment of food is enhanced. I personally will attest to all of the above. We all have different receptor profiles, so these are just generalizations. Couch unlock. Q. Is it pest and mildew resistant? A. Indeed it is. On many occasions in the last few years, it has been observed that when pest and mildew issues were affecting other plants adjacent to in the vicinity of Freakshow plants, for unknown reasons the freaks remained entirely unaffected. This includes 0botritis, PM, various mites and insects, soil fungus, etc. We haven't heard any complaints along those lines so far, so if anyone has any problems, especially with a rigorous IPM regimen in place, we would like to hear about it. And if anyone can attest to the extreme level of resistance it seems to have we'd love to hear about that as well. Q. Does it contain web-leaf genetics? A. I thought I better clarify this because there are a few people thinking that because of an article "Growing Marijuana that Doesn't look like Marijuana" that mentions that I had worked web-leaf types years ago and had eventually turned that into Freakshow. This is incorrect and I'm needing to get ahold of the writer to have him change it. When I read the piece and saw the mistake I figured it didn't matter that much, that the actual method of breeding could just remain a "trade secret". Recently, I noticed online that a posting, "Freakshow only exists because of duckfoot" by Curious Cannabis Connoisseur, where he explains how I developed Freakshow using Duckfoot. Let me explain, about 20 yrs. ago a friend gave me a jar of seeds labeled "BC Bigbud" and I sprouted flats of hundreds to look for oddities and had found one web-leaf pheno which we named Webster. It was a female so I bred it to a normal leaf male and began selecting and stabilizing a line of Webster. About 5 or 6 generations later I had nailed it to 100% webs and had also stabilized it for a deep purple color and a nice "gingerbread" terp profile. I was busy working other lines at that point so I put Webster in the library. Also, I was having a hell of a time getting a pheno of it that flowered to my satisfaction. (it seemed to finish with a limited number of calyxes). I knew I would have to outcross it to something with a big tasty bud and restabilize it for web-leaf, and I no longer had the original BC Bigbud. I still have the Webster seeds, and trust me the thought has crossed my mind to make the cross with Freakshow, but why? Why mess around crossing things just to create something even weirder? I have heard that the "Duckfoot" also doesn't bud up well so maybe there's a correlation there. Anyway, people can do what they want to and I will too, but crossing Freakshow with some low-THC crap like ABC is in my opinion idiotic. I worked extremely hard stabilizing and perfecting a beautiful new subspecies and I believe it should be kept pure. I won't go on a rant here about the rampant crossing and the lack of line-breeding in the cannabis world in the last several decades, or where this will eventually lead us, but I will say that it's not in a good direction. Bottom line....Freakshow has no web-leaf genes, it was made using top-grade tropical narrow-leaf drug (NLD) cultivars. Q.Why is Freakshow patented? A. Although I and most others (including all the folks at HSC) believe in and subscribe to the concept of "open sourcing" because sharing in cannabis genetics was always the cultural norm, it was decided that Freakshow should be protected (1) because it is a novel and unique, not a preexisting strain (or even subspecies), (2) To keep the greedy corporate big boys from exploiting it, (3) To maintain control of the genetic refinement of it in all future generations. We really can't wait to share it with the entire collective world of cannabis enthusiasts and invite experimental breeding for personal use and curiosity." source https://freakshowcannabis.com

Amber is coming in nicely, top to bottom - starting 1 week flush! ~As one only can in *Hydroponics (& coco). It's not "bro science" it's biology 101. It does not boost thc, it does nothing to terpene production. Simply put - we are ensuring/pushing a fall fade, that in soil you may or may not get naturally as nutrients are always present, (I'm not seeing growers emulate late fall weather to do it that way... /shrug). Color change! With that you geeeeeet *the breakdown of chlorophyll, and a better taste as a result. Lots of purple popped up this week, two gals with foxtailing (one mother / one clone - but no herms thankfully - all nat-ur-al) First thought it would just be the mother / being too close to LEDs, but her clone did the same thing at 10'' Very excited for this harvest! ~~~~~~~~~~ Granddaddy Purple (Feminized Photoperiod) (Sponsored By) ~Zamnesia~ https://www.zamnesia.com/us/11056-zamnesia-seeds-granddaddy-purple.html Hybrid: Grandaddy Purple x Purple Kush (Purple Urkel x Big Bud*) 30% Sativa / 70% Indica Flowering Time: 63-70 Days 22% THC CBD 1% ~~~~~~~~~~ Zamnesia was kind enough to give us a discount code with this grow ~ go get you 20% off at checkout!!! 20% Off Code: ZAMMIGROW2024 https://www.zamnesia.com/us/ ~~~ In-depth information regarding my day-to-day / common practice may be found on the front page of my profile (in the comments). ~~~ Breeders - my services are available!

Week 10 Update – Full Throttle with Advanced Nutrients 🌱 I’m now feeding 100% of the Advanced Nutrients schedule with all components. I noticed a slight calcium deficiency in the AN plants, so I’ve increased the base nutrients from 75% to 100%. Advanced Nutrients CalMag Xtra remains at 1ml/L, and it has been reliable throughout the grow with 0 EC osmosis water. BioBizz#1 – BT42 The trichome ripeness is mixed—there are both amber and clear trichomes, so it’s not quite consistent yet. CalMag issues show up occasionally, but nothing that’s throwing me off balance—she’s doing fine! 🤞 AN#4 – BT42 She’s asking for a bit more calcium here and there but continues to dominate BioBizz#1 in terms of development. EC: 2.5 pH: 6.4 Drain: pH 6.1 (EC not measurable due to organic soil). AN#3 – BT38 This plant is visually about 2 weeks behind the others. The space between her and the lamp is down to 1-2cm—a disaster, but there’s nothing I can do at this point. PPFD is off the charts (1200), but she’s handling it and developing beautiful buds. Big respect to this strain—the stretch was no joke! Humidity is well under control at

Good week of drying the conditions were perfect, because of the cold weather I could keep it at 16 degrees and 60% humidity but unfortunately I didn't have enough air flow on my back plant that was a chunky monkey and the biggest buds got moldy 😪 the rest seems ok it's been just the big heads got hit, lesson learnt

1-19 Added 2 ml water to the top where planted, sprayed dome. End of the night see a buldge. 1-20 In the am, still no head, 2ml water, keep the top moist. but starting to show more. by afternoon, w have Runtz1. ( As soon as breaks ground, remove RH Dome.) Shortly after we have Runtzs 2. She seems to have pulled a leaf off getting her head out. My other told me to scrap her, but I figured she will be fine. So for the tie break, I called apon @valiotoro . Told him he would be the tie breaker. SHES A KEEPER! 💪 I do not like to give up on any of my girls! 💪 Very excited to get this ball Finally Rolling! Preparing the Rocket ship, Lift Off Soon! Someone said, are you sure? There is some big dawgs in it. Well they better eat their Wheaties EVERY DAY, Fatty is coming! ( Guy Approves this Message 😻) 1-21 250 ml ph 6.0 water. Shes going. Humidifer arrives tomorrow. RH is 30% and temp hovering 70F. Every 2-3 hours I spray the tent walls to help with the RH. Holds between 55-65%. 1-23 Moved to big tent temps everything's normal now. 1-24 Loves her forever home, not pot. Getting 250-260 ppfd. The green mykos is showing on the dirt. All going smooth 💪 Well thats it for week 1. Moves will pick up soon. Again ty Zamnesia, Plagron and The Eternity Grow Cup

Welcome First and foremost. Thanks you so much to Zamnesia, plagron and the Eternity Cup. So excited to start this competition everyone! Gonna be a fun few months!!! 😁 1-18-25 Shook both seeds in some sandpaper. ( Pesky helmet heads). Dropped in some water with a dash of peroxide. Approximately 8am ish. Every 4 hrs poke the seed down in the water. ( Wanna make sure she takes it.) 1-19 Approximately 24 hrs later. Shells are slightly cracked, just enough to see the white. But not quite a tail yet. This is where I like it. Grabbed my hand 6 inch pot and filled it with Hp promix. Added 1/8th tsp Mammoth mykos. Added 1 ounce of water in the center of the pot only. Around 1/4 inch hole, sprinkled with Mammoth ( just a dusting ). Seeds planted. Dome placed. See you on day 1 Lets GO!

Week 9 veg We are doing well, the ladies are growing quickly, I do believe I need to add a foliar spray to the mix or up the nutrients because we are still short on nitrogen and a bit of magnesium it seems. But its not a massive deficiency so ill just push more nutrients one way or another. The one plant with the genetic issues seems to have wanted split its Main on its own. So apparently i have and auto main plant? XD, i will keep an eye out of herms but it find this genetic issue interesting. I am beyond happy with the way training came out on the ladies. I just need to make sure I keep them all low next batch of seeds. I'm used to the fuckery of aux clones so running seeds was a treat. 2 weeks of veg left about and we flip!

This week they did more stretching as you can see the one on the left is into and above the light! I can't believe this but I'll role with it! I slowly defoliate just a little here and there between watering and filling the humidifiers. They really like to eat! Also, something to note that is they love the humidity as well as the warmth. I had to clean the outside of their grow bags this week. To my surprise the roots are starting to come out the bag! I can't believe it but this is awesome! Now they'll die due to contact with the air, and in return get bigger to take in even more nutrients! As predicted they fell off because their little pieces are on the floor. Well I fed and watered them daily. Like normal whenever I fed them either nutrients or soil amendments I made sure to water the plants with plain pH balanced H2O the next day in order to flush them. Then I would do any soil amendments if needed. After that plain pH balanced H20 and then you could do another fertilizer nutrient for them. After that pH balanced H20 and then you return to the soil amendments if needed.

I am dropping Deepforest Super auto. I am giving it another go. I believe my temps were a little too low on the first go. I will be keeping her by herself in a small tent, that I can keep warmer. I should be back in about a week.

Watering Challenges: Due to high humidity, the soil took an entire week to dry out. Overwatering last week slowed water uptake but was mitigated by maintaining a higher nutrient level, preventing deficiencies. Nutrient Status: Signs of nutrient burn have not worsened. The plant is now showing early signs of hunger, with lighter zones forming on the leaves. Growth Observations: The plant responded well to topping, rapidly producing longer side branches. Growth remains vigorous, with a well-developed structure. Next Steps: Transplanting and watering are planned for early next week to support the plant's increasing nutrient demands. Summary: Week 4 revealed a learning curve in managing high humidity, but the plant's resilience and strong growth highlight its adaptability. Topping was highly effective, and the plant is thriving. dein-onlineheadshop.de/ Use my referral code 420Shop at checkout to get a discount on your purchase.

Day 95 GDP harvested and starting dry process. Day 95 for the Tropicana cookies purple auto and northern thunderfuck auto. Both looking great. Tropicana really starting to reek the whole tent out sweet funky arouma. Looks light it’s starting to fade out nitrogen as well 🤞 Northern is stacking up buds hopefully will continue fattening for a couple more weeks. Soil all the flower tents look very alive and healthy. Lots of wigglers thriving under the mulch layer.
