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

Those babies stated to drink a lot, drying a substrate in 24 hours decided to replant them into the large 25 liter air-pots. The roots are visible and developed quiet good, so i hpe it was good timing to do that. Also made some topping on one of plants, others will be topped this week. Generally all goes good👍

The free sample of Platinium nutrient look to be expired, crystallization of potassium. It can be the source of K deficiency. Dumping the "Grow" bottle, starting the bloom nutrients a little bit early to maintain the EC. Unfortunately the "Bloom" bottle is crystallized to, now I use a mix of Platinium & Plagron to preserve the nutrition needed by the plants. Why don't buy new bottles ? Because the next run will be full hydroponic, currently I'm just finishing the soil/coco nutrients.

She continues to develop nicely. Unfortunately I managed to break two more branches, from both she recovered instantly and the branches started to heal already. (Need to be a bit more careful going forwards). The quick healing I would either account to the genetics, but would also contribute it to the rizothonic from canna, as her root system is also a lot further than the plants I grew before. She already smells super strong, can bare keep the tent open for long.

Die Woche war es heiss Max 27.5 grad im growraum und die Damen haben durst. Nachts nicht unter 23.5 Grad. Luftfeuchtigkeit bei relativ konstant 50%. Also Temperatur nicht optimal aber noch kein großes Problem. Bei einer der Ladies habe ich einen Anteil von ca. 50 % Coco. Das ist die hellere von beiden Ladies. PH Wert Gieß und Drain ok bei 6.2 nach ordentlichem durchgiessen. Vor 2 Tagen gespült und bei der Coco mit einem erhöhten Zusatz an calmag von Green buzz. Hier habe ich den ec gemessen der deutlich zu niedrig war ( 0.5 ) das heißt ab morgen bekommt Coco Lady mehr Dünger. Ich hoffe es ist der richtige Weg . Die Dame auf Erde sieht gut aus. Lichtstärke der Lampe auf 70 % bei einem Abstand von 40 cm. Düngezugabe 1 mal in dieser Woche und das andere mal gespült.

Non male quest'autofiorente. Praticamente 400gr da 6 piante con una che ha reso 118grammi e quasi 5 di battitura a120micron.Le sei piante sono tutte leggermente diverse. Quella che mi piace di più aprendo il barattolo dopo 1mese di concia sa di formaggio stagionato.Al prossimo diario e grazie a chi ha seguito, commentato e messo like grazie 🙏 ❤️

Once again these girls don’t really need much just watering when dry but other than that we are on cruise mode. I have been checking trichomes for about a week now and man is she almost there I should be giving them lights out with in another week or two can’t wait

Duftet. DUFTET hervorragend. Total irre. Caramel Schokolade, vanille süß. KLEBRIG. ALLES! GRINS BUD MACHINE! Day 51 laut breeder fertig. Ok noch 5 tage. Aber fertig, ja. Defenitiv. Lasse sie trotzdem noch im Reaktor, denn sie dürfen gerne noch ein wenig reifen. Heute nochmal mit dünger. Den Rest ihrer Zeit dann nur noch Wasser. 19.09.16 16? Ok 17? Egal. TRICHOME CHECK was successfull.. Har har ok mostly milky. A lot of trychomes not ready.. Buds re not rock hard. Like you touch a dog. Not the fat ones i mean. And they grow up. Everyday. The buds. I mean theyre not the biggest. But i saw gelato buds spend in dispenserys (www). Who re smaller than mine. They grow up in height, tall and weight. Trichomes re the same as always... 😛 Har har.. GANJA THERE EVERYWHERE. STEAM. SOME LEAVES(heavy you can see there where she eats aphids. NO JOKE.(@sugarleaves) First trichomes surrounded it. Than one day later you see them stuck in some trichoms. Than Abracadabra NO JOKE after a few days and nights only some darker trichomes left there. By the time they go brighter again as the others, but bigger). Sticky smell girl. Mjam HALLEJUULIA 13 FINGERS A LEAF! Ganjaloveriamtobringsomedelicious GELATO41FASTfromSEEDSTOCKERStomyworld. Im satisfied :) Day 54 of flower. Anything going well. Did a little pre chop. 3 buds like( with milky trichoms) because of room problems. They hang dark inside the tent. And switched my blue light off. Now only white and red. For faster ripening 20.09.,growing growing growing. 21.09 trichomes re ready. Milky most but ready. 8 weeks of flower, and they're ready. GOOD WORK SEEDSTOCKERS But i will give her1or 2 more weeks. Because this strain is so OUTSTANDING.. She DESERVES a little more time because of some inaccuracies from me...................... And i really want this indica Punch. For this is better to become some amber trichoms... And weight.. 😛 💪 DAY 58 OF FLOWER. She is ok. Ripening. But the aphids. NOW ITS TIME TO GO TO WAR ☣️ ☣️ BIO LOGICAL WEAPON ☣️ ☣️ BASIL WATER B weapon for aphids. Day 59 of flowwring: in progres. And found the first trichoms going amber.!!!!!!! YES.!!!!! Day 61. Nuggets or Buds? BUDS! Day 63. Waiting. Day 65 Chop of Buds the Rest needs more time. Where re my buds? Fallen, washed, now about to dry.

🌱 Flowering Update – Full Week 5 Breakdown → Entering Week 6 Week 5 was focused on entering full bulking mode with a controlled increase in volume and EC, followed by a deliberate pause to restore root oxygenation after several heavy feeds. 💧 Irrigation & Nutrition – Week 5 (Exact Recipes) Start of Week 5 – 7/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.568 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6.3 ml • Bio·Bloom: 109 ml • Top·Max: 22–23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 28 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml ➡️ First full-volume bulking feed. Strong uptake and no lockout signs. Mid Week 5 – 9/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.568 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6.3 ml • Bio·Bloom: 133 ml • Top·Max: 23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 21 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml ➡️ Bio·Bloom increased to push flower mass. Plants responded with visible calyx stacking. End of Week 5 – PK Introduction – 11/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.640 mS · pH: 6.3 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 30 ml • Bio·Grow: 6 ml • Bio·Bloom: 115 ml • Top·Max: 23 ml • Bio·Heaven: 21 ml • Bud Candy: 38 ml • Atazyme: 25 ml • PK 13/14: 6 ml ➡️ Controlled PK introduction. EC peaked safely. Minor tip burn confirmed we were at the productive upper limit. Recovery Feed – 13/1 (22 L | 21 °C) • EC: 1.370 mS · pH: 6.2 • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra: 25 ml • Bio·Grow: 5 ml • Bio·Bloom: 105 ml • Top·Max: 22 ml • Bio·Heaven: 20 ml • Bud Candy: 36 ml • Atazyme: 22 ml ➡️ Intentional reduction to let the substrate breathe after multiple heavy irrigations. 🌡️ Environmental Data (Week 5 Averages) • Day: 24–25 °C • Night: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 50–55 % • VPD: ~1.0–1.3 kPa • PPFD: ~880–920 µmol/m²/s • DLI: ~39–40 mol/day Stable conditions allowed efficient nutrient uptake without excess transpiration. 🧠 Plant Response • Strong structure supporting increasing flower weight • Active bulking phase (buds still stacking) • Minor tip burn = intentional high-performance feeding • Color differences consistent with F1 phenotype variability, not deficiencies 🔜 Focus for Week 6 • Resume irrigation only when pots are clearly light • Next feed: flowering base without PK • Following feed: single, targeted PK 35/60 application • Maintain PPFD below 920 (no CO₂ this cycle) • Preserve night temperature differential to enhance density and color expression Week 5 set the foundation for final mass. Week 6 is about precision finishing, not pushing numbers.

As hot weather is on the way next week, I have not choice but to harvest. With multiple humid days in the 30s forecast I know its either harvest now or contend with grow tent temps close to 40c. Definitely not going to help the terps anyhow. Honestly I think she needs another few days, but super close either way. Trichs are predominantly milky white with just a tiny amount of amber. Managed to get a 5 day flush, not ideal but best I could do before the heat comes. Will manicure really well to speed up the dry time, hoping for a 4 day dry to avoid the hot weather. 🔥

Han respondido bastante bien a la poda en pocos días se realizará el transplante a su macetas final y se le realizó una poda más. Estoy probando en este cultivo unas podas diferentes para ver el resultado en tiempo y desarrollo de la planta
