 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

Well 84 days later ...in Flower its was finally time to Harvest . I sure had my challenges as a beginner and learned a lot by my mistakes and learning about fixing issues and keeping the environment Consistent . I did turn my 600HPS down to 400 as i was my plants were getting light burn and heat burn ..... lets just say i was learning all the way throw . it was exciting being my very first time . I started flowering too late late and they stretched and stretched ... i dont have much space ....lesson learned . I had to train them to grow sideways which did help significantly as did the lower my light to 400 watts ..my space is a square Meter and low ...... it was crazy but I really enjoyed it and there hanging ..... Personally I thought id end up killin them ...lol Thanks for the advice and comments they were greatly appreciated ... Happy growing .... Hope my next ones are Prettier ,,,,LOL Cheers

The journey has come to a different stage. She got moved to the dark garage for 48 hours of darkness after 3 days of heavy water. I pulled her a week earlier than I wanted. Too many concerns, got lots of rain and she's got dense chunky nugs, spent half of her life outside. No pest issues, not mold, I think I got lucky. Trichomes were all cloudy, 5% amber, still so many white hairs. Smelt like gassy, burnt rubber while trimming. Hopefully the smoke was worth the fire. On day 5 drying, looking good so far.

Nice week. Transition to center mass continues - the frost builds and the aromas are incredible. Purple berry kush - slight touch and the blast of berry kush. I showed it to a non smoker - he smelt it and said - smells like I shouldn’t be here 😂😂😂. Upcoming week will be weening off the finisher and phasing in for a full flush. Divergence on two plants in the tent as they were planted later so will keep the blooming fed.

Die Pflanzen sind nun mitten in Blütewoche 3 und zeigen eine sehr stabile Entwicklung. Der Stretch neigt sich dem Ende zu, die Struktur hat sich gefestigt und die ersten deutlichen Blütenansätze sind sichtbar. Die Triebe richten sich gleichmäßig zum Licht aus, das Netz hält die Form optimal und sorgt für eine ausgeglichene Lichtverteilung im gesamten Canopy. Durch die unfreiwillige Umstellung auf ein semi-hydroponisches System läuft das Setup jetzt mit konstanter Wasserzirkulation. Eine Pumpe wurde hinzugefügt, um den Sauerstoffgehalt im Nährmedium zu erhöhen und Stauwasser zu vermeiden. Das System arbeitet zuverlässig, und die Pflanzen profitieren deutlich – die Wurzeln wirken vital, hell und aktiv. Die Düngung wurde auf 6 ml/l Canna Coco A + B angehoben. Die Pflanzen nehmen die Nährstoffe hervorragend auf, ohne Anzeichen von Überdüngung oder Stress. Das Blattwerk bleibt kräftig grün mit leichtem Glanz, und die Blattstruktur ist eng und gesund. Die Blütenbildung schreitet zügig voran – die Budsites sind klar definiert, und die Pflanze zeigt ihr volles Potenzial. Geruch und Harzbildung beginnen sich langsam zu entwickeln, was auf eine starke und gesunde Blütephase hindeutet. Insgesamt präsentieren sich die Pflanzen vital, stabil und perfekt im Flow der frühen Blütephase. Das Semi-Hydro-System liefert konstant Feuchtigkeit und Nährstoffe, während das Netz weiterhin eine gleichmäßige Struktur gewährleistet. Alles läuft optimal für den Übergang in die mittlere Blüte.

Fast Buds White Widow is a strain that is easy to grow she can handle some stress if you have issues. She makes a massive bud on the main stem mine was 80 grams freshly trimmed!! She doesn't stretch much if your growing in a confined space. I'll repost what the total is dried and cured and smoke report as well. Smoke Report Update she's Earthy, Piney, with sweat citrus flavors, smooth pull, earthy, piney up front then then that sweat citrus when you exhale, really clean and smooth enjoyably smoke hits you quickly and then mellows out she has the ability to change your motivation level but not put you on the couch the rest of the day or night for the most part!!! 70% Indica 30% sativa. The total weight of the grow of 535 grams wet weight, when dried out to it was a total of 178 grams dry. That's a loss of 67% of the weight. She's a plant with thricomes that cover the fat, stinky, and sticky buds. I didn't have any problems with her. She can take some nuts for a autoflower as she never showed any signs of nutrition stress. Easy grow, strong plant, dense sticky buds, she smells sweat with a earthy note. I would recommend to any grower new grower you really can't mess her up, advanced grower she will give you a great harvest. Continue to grow your own medicine if you can or grow for someone you know that can't continue to make a difference in lives!!! Growdiaries is a great place to learn and connect with other like minded individuals!! Stay growing my friends!!! Thank you for looking at the diary!!!

Have some problem with bud leafs. It's looks like potassium def or maybe nut overdosing. My PPM meter was not accurate and I switched to another one. The old one showed 100 PPM less. Thats why I gave 800 PPM instead of 700 PPM

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 16/09/19 || To/Hasta: 22/09/19 From day/Desde día: 15 || To day/Hasta día: 21 Ocean Grown Cookies Diary / Diario de las Ocean Grown Cookies: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/38831-oceangrown-cookies-blues-sisters If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- From the next week i will start to record a timelapse video of the tent. Cheers!! -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I'm so sorry for the delay this last weeks, hard work times are very bad for my updates. This week is obvious how after remove them from the cheap chinese light, they're growing at high speeds. I'm going to top them the next week, I don't have very clear what I'm going to do, because I'm really without time this las weeks, and that is terrible for the plants, as this are very important weeks if I want to train them in a good way, and i can't, I'm praying to the goods of weed instead expending my time. Ok ok ok, let's talk about the plants. For me, it's impressive the speed at how are they growing this 3rd week, they are already at about 15 cm tall, and for the next the 20 cm rule it not going to be enough to measure them. All leaves are very green and I don't see any weird sympthoms, but if any better eye than mine sees something i would be very greatful with him/her if made a comment. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 16/09/19 DAY 15 - 1 l with all week nutrients (Organic Grow Half dosed) @ (0.9 EC | PH 6.1 | 25.7ºc) 22/09/18 DAY 21 - 1.5 l with all week nutrients -(Silica Power & Pro Active) @ (1.2 EC | PH 6.1 | 25.7ºc) *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- A partir de la semana que viene empezaré a graba un timelapse del armario. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Siento mucho el retraso sufrido esta semana y la que viene, los tiempo de mucho trabajo son muy perjudiciales para mis updates. Esta semana es obvio como después de haberlas quitado de la luz china malísima se han puesto a crecer a mucha más velocidad. La semana que viene las realizare el topping, no tengo muy claro qué ni cuanto puedo hacer esta vez, por que realmente tengo absorbido el 95% de mi tiempo estas últimas semanas y esto es malísimo para las plantas, ya que estas semanas son muy muy importantes para poder realizar un buen entrenamiento en las plantas y no me está siendo posible. Así que estoy rezando a los dioses de la hierba en vez de gastar el tiempo que no tengo para que todo vaya bien. Ok ok, hablemos de las plantas. Para mi realmente es impresionante la velocidad a la que están creciendo esta tercera semana, ya están a 15 cm de altura y la semana que viene la regla de 20 cm ya no va a ser suficiente para medirlas. A mis ojos todas las hojas se ven verdes y sin síntomas raros, estaría muy agradecido si algún ojo más experto que el mío ve algo y deja un comentario. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 16/09/19 DÍA 15 - 1 l Con todos los nutrientes semanales (Organic Grow mitad de la dosis) @ (0,9 EC | PH 6,1 | 25,7ºc) 22/09/18 DÍA 21 - 1,5 l Con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Silica Power y Pro Active) @ (1,2 EC | PH 6,1 | 25,7ºc)

Right now I am just playing the waiting game with White Widow and Industrial Plant. Both have shown signs of maturation with their trichomes but neither one has a majority of milky trichomes yet. In hindsight, I should have waited until Industrial Plant was more mature before I started flushing her -- I've lost a few weeks that I could have been continuing to fatten her up. I added more bamboo rods and tied branches to them with some plant tape on both plants. White Widow's buds are rock hard and keep bending its branches so hopefully the extra support will help. I cut off the main cola and a side cola of Industrial Plant CBD due to bud rot that I failed to notice for roughly a week. After cutting out all of the bud rot I could find on Industrial Plant I checked over her and White Widow meticulously to make sure everything was kosher. I added a spare oscillating fan in the tent to try and improve air circulation in the room. I have had trouble with humidity and temperature shifts throughout this grow -- something I'll have to dial in as I progress. I imagine the climate shifts combined with how thick the main cola was probably contributed to the bud rot. Seedsman White Widow Auto is ready to be harvested as of Day 100. Over 2 days her trichomes really started to turn amber. I have started flushing her as of today and plan to harvest a day or two into the start of Week 15. As for Dinafem Industrial Plant Autoflowering CBD? I am thinking of just cutting my losses if her trichomes haven't gotten to at least majority-milky by the time White Widow gets chopped. She just looks mostly-dead and only wants a drink once every 7-10 days now. That and I have some new gear I really want to test out, as well as some different ideas for my second run that I've been itching to get started on.

Chopped her two days into week 14. What else. Buds. There are a lot of them. And they are quite large. And they look like they will require little effort to trim. What more can I wish for? I am a very happy man. Upd 1: Trimming is SO SIMPLE! Not much sticking out to begin with, because of the amazing bud structure and me plucking most bud node fans. Solid nugs which are not bothered by anything, so pulling smaller sub-bud fans is very simple too, while the buds are what I would call moist. I'll call this Moist Trim 😄 ✂️✂️✂️ Went for the best trimming tools available on the market (well at least my research concluded so) and LOVING every minute of trimming with the B-500SRF. Why would I or anyone else use something less suitable or less comfortable for such a delicate and long job is beyond me, except if you cannot afford one right now, in which case I wish you to experience it one day. Fiskars are also very good in therms of the blades, coating and cutting ability and precision, but the spring is just too stiff, like way, way to stiff for something that is to be used for hours on end. One might argue that such spring force helps overcome resin buildup, but please just rinse your instrument regularly in an appropriate solvent (ethy, iso, whatever — consider you instrument materials as well) and wipe it after. Why would you let significant amounts of resin to accumulate on such a gentle and precise tool? Kinda defeats the purpose?
