 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

First flowering week has started. I feel stupid because in my case, at least in a similar setup to mine, you can't use any organic nutrients. Everything goes to hell, the pH goes to hell, etc. I wasted years on this. In ress, the water cleared up just as clear when I cut out all organic nutrients and everything stabilized. I think this should be talked about more and emphasized to new dwc breeders like me. I had also calmag defiency but it should be ok now.

She has grown another 10cm/4" this week! Flowers developing quite slowly compared to her tent-mates. I'm hoping this is a sativa dominant phenotype??? Can anyone shed some light on that please? I left the tape measure visible in the video for scale. Good? Helpful?

Esta semana fue divertida, tocó hacer el topping y el LST. Con respecto al primero, creo que podría haber esperado más tiempo ya que las ramas laterales del tercer nudo estaban muy chicas, pero estoy buscando estresar lo menos posible a la planta así que decidí hacerlo el día 40. Espere dos días a que la plante se recupere y las ramas comiencen a crecer e hice el LST. Hice un vídeo del topping + LST. Con respecto a los inputs, los primeros días de esta semana llovió mucho y las plantas se encuentran bajo un techo mínimo por lo que algo de agua las regó. El día del topping regué con FPJ y el día del LST regué con Compost tea + Melaza orgánica. Esto ha sido todo por ahora... Cualquier sugerencia es bienvenida! Buenos cultivos!😃

Panted the seeds straight in their main pots and put a plastic bag over them to increase the humidity. Removed the plastic bags after the plants were 2 days out of the soil. Temp is around 20c and humidity around 50%. No added nutrients yet. Only using some ph minus to bring the pH levels down to arounbd 6,5. After each watering I am slowly increasing the light intensity. Started on 25% then to 50% of the capacity of the lamp. Noticed in the second week that I had set my timer wrong and the plants were on a 14-8 cycle instead of a intended 18-6.

13.01.2026 Heute habe ich mir die Wurzeln unten am Topfboden angeguckt und es waren genug zu sehen. Dazukommt noch das die oberen blätter über den Topfrand wachsen, dies nehm ich immer als Indikator, dass bald das umtopfen beginnt. Also habe ich biobizz all Mix mit 1,5g Bio grow pro 1l Substrat hinzugefügt, waren dann insgesamt 16,5g auf die 11l. Wasser war mit calmag ausgeglichen und den ph habe ich auf 6,4-6,5 angehoben. Dazu habe ich dann 1g/l Wasser von dem Bio enhancer von Greenhouse feeding hinzu gegeben. Pro Topf habe ich 3l gegossen, das sollte erstmal für eine Weile reichen. Die sanlight habe ich so eingestellt, dass die ppfd gleich sind mit der mege aus dem Anzuchtzelt (320ppfd). Den luftbefeuchter habe ich ebenfalls angestellt und auf 65%eingestellt.

Day 65 27 December 2023 As the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, a group of friends gathered to celebrate in a cozy cabin nestled in the snowy mountains. Instead of the usual champagne, they decided to ring in the new year with a different kind of togetherness—surrounded by the calming presence of cannabis. They named themselves the "High Horizon Crew" and transformed the cabin into a haven of relaxation. A warm fireplace crackled, and the aroma of various cannabis strains filled the air. The friends shared stories from the past year, reflecting on highs and lows while passing around joints and sharing edibles. As the night unfolded, they set intentions for the coming year, not with traditional resolutions, but with a shared commitment to personal growth and well-being. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, deep conversations, and a sense of camaraderie that transcended the typical New Year's festivities. As the clock approached midnight, the friends gathered outside, passing a joint as they watched fireworks light up the winter sky. With each puff, they let go of the challenges of the past and welcomed the possibilities of the future. The High Horizon Crew embraced the new year with open hearts and a shared belief that, together, they could face whatever came their way. And so, under the stars and the influence of cannabis, they welcomed the dawn of a new year with a sense of unity, peace, and the promise of positive growth. Happy New Years 🎉🎉🎆 Heya👍🤙👍🌱

Mid week update: did the defoliation over a couple of days. she looks gooood. so many lovely buds. Stretch started this week! waaaaattttt. she's once again one BUSHY lady. was advised to limit pruning once flowering started, but things are getting out of control 😂. think i'm going to have to do some ladyscaping as a mid week update. Slow growth as expected with the lower set point on the reservoir temp (19 C) - as a result of a slight smell. still has the smell, but nothing in the water on on the sides of the reservoir so not going to worry for now. Bought another air stone and need to install ASAP. SO many roots and with sooooo much volume that the one stone just gets swamped. pretty impressive root system. Shout out to all the growmies that have helped me on this journey. Things are good.

Que maravillosa planta. He cambiado su nutrición hace 7 días dando puro organico y natural. Se siente un exquisito aroma a bubble gum, berries y un poco de caramelo. Sus cogollos son muy densos y duros. Esta semana he rociado con un poco de infusion de cola de caballo en reducción para evitar posibles hongos y quitar un poco los restos de diatomeas que había en sus hojas. Crece y crece preciosa. Una semana mas y estará lista para su corte final! Saludos a todos amigos y gracias por compartir aquí.

She grew up nicely very healthy and strong and she produced a decent amount of organic clean cannabis, It's great and just what I work for because I'm a patient that needs to grow his weed and doing it making sure I grow them naturally and organically. The result is a very fruity and and tropical aroma, the purple color makes her even more beautiful. It's just a dream man, I love it, I just love to grow this strain, the 4 plants I grew had the same aroma very tropical and fruity, super sweet.

Another fantastic week! The girls grew nicely during the stretching phase filling out most of the space, but have now started to calm down. It has been 14 days since switching to a 12/12 light cycle. We lowered the light and are running it at 100% power. The girls are being fed five times a day through a drip feed system @1500EC. No problems so far. Happy daze 😁

Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 5 (Flower) 💎 Black Diamond Auto – The Elegant Sister Finds Her Rhythm Every grow has its own personalities, and while Pheno A charges ahead with raw vigor, her sister is writing a completely different story. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B is elegance in motion. She has embraced the 12/12 From Seed challenge with a graceful structure, long internodes, and a beautifully open architecture that allows every flowering site to receive excellent light penetration. This project continues to explore how autoflowers behave under a true 12/12 photoperiod from germination—a technique many growers believe limits development. Week after week these plants continue proving that, with a healthy root system, stable environment, and careful nutrition, autoflowers remain capable of producing vigorous growth while transitioning naturally into bloom. Growing inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, under the Future of Grow Black Series LED and supported by the complete Plagron nutrient line, this phenotype continues to demonstrate that every plant follows its own blueprint. Rather than comparing sisters, this project celebrates those differences. ⸻ 🌱 Week 5 – Stretch with Purpose The flowering stretch is still underway, but unlike many plants that stretch without direction, Pheno B is building a remarkably balanced framework. Standing around 100 cm, she is among the taller ladies in the tent, yet her stem remains impressively thick and capable of supporting future flower weight. The internodal spacing is wider than her sister’s, giving the plant an airy appearance that should become an advantage later in flowering by improving airflow and allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy. Fresh white pistils continue appearing at every node, and the first flower clusters are beginning to stack along each branch. Rather than producing compact golf-ball buds immediately, she seems focused on building a long flowering structure that could eventually form impressive spear-shaped colas. At this stage she isn’t trying to impress with density yet—she’s building the foundation for it. ⸻ 🌿 Training Without Stress Like the rest of the project, Pheno B continues proving how effective gentle training can be. Instead of removing leaves through defoliation, I simply keep repositioning larger fan leaves behind developing flowering sites whenever necessary. This small daily adjustment maintains excellent light exposure while allowing every healthy leaf to continue producing energy for the plant. No unnecessary stress has been introduced. The combination of: * 12/12 From Seed * Early Low Stress Training (LST) * Strategic leaf tucking * No defoliation has created a naturally open structure where light reaches multiple flowering sites without sacrificing photosynthetic capacity. Every leaf is still working for the plant. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation This week she continued receiving the same stable Plagron feeding program that has been driving the entire room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L The nutrient transition into flowering has been exceptionally smooth. With an EC around 1.88, pH maintained at 6.05, the plant continues showing deep green foliage with no signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. Her leaves remain relaxed, healthy, and vibrant, confirming that the current feeding strategy is matching her needs perfectly. Sometimes the best sign of success is that nothing dramatic happens. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues providing very stable environmental conditions: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21.6°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 636 ppm Despite the relatively warm temperatures, the healthy root zone, consistent irrigation, and vigorous airflow are allowing the plants to remain highly productive. The entire ecosystem continues operating exactly as intended. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Next week should be particularly exciting for this phenotype. The stretch appears to be slowing, meaning more energy will soon shift toward flower production. The small clusters developing along every node should begin connecting together as calyx production accelerates, revealing the true architecture of this plant. Because of her open structure, I’m especially curious to see whether she develops long, elegant spears or surprises me with unexpected stacking later in bloom. Either way, she’s showing every sign of becoming a beautiful and productive Black Diamond. Sometimes the quieter plants become the biggest surprises by harvest. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts One of my favourite parts of running phenotype hunts is watching sisters express the same genetics in completely different ways. Pheno B reminds us that beauty isn’t always about being the biggest or the fastest. Sometimes it’s about balance, structure, and letting the plant tell its own story without forcing it into someone else’s expectations. So far, she’s doing exactly that. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this grow possible, Plagron for consistently providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for keeping the canopy thriving under incredible lighting, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion make documenting every week an absolute pleasure. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚
