Changed out the nutes. Dropped the calmag and the Silica. Using just the Plant Prod MJ bloom. Changed out the nutes. Dropped the calmag and the Silica. Using just the Plant Prod MJ bloom. Plants are starting to really stack with crystals. Even the fan leaves have crystals. This plant may be a crystal paradise.

 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

This two were part of another diary and got moved out due to space reasons at VW8 and moved back indoors at VW20 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/218151-auto-god-s-glue-grow-journal-by-yan402 13.09.25 VW21 Both are looking good and are developing tighter nodes than when they were outside, I'm going to have to keep cutting them back every once and a while I also applied nematodes against thrips and fungus gnats. 20.09.25 VW22 some spots and some yellow leafs, I think it's a root problem, probably root bound, but both seem healthy and are getting thicker so maybe just top up with Coco coir and give a slight different nutrient schedule less Tri Part Bloom could do the trick MAYBE lol. 27.09.25 VW23 Topped up the pots with extra coco coir and trimmed the side roots a bit, both plants were root bound πŸ“Ή πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ± Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ± 27.09.25 VW22 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 28.09.25 VW23 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 29.09.25 VW23 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 30.09.25 VW23 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 01.10.25 VW23 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 02.10.25 VW23 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 03.10.25 VW23 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 04.10.25 VW23 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff (*RUNOFF reused for tomato plants) πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ πŸ’§ Nutrients in 30L #1 πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ πŸ’§ TriPart Micro: 10 β†’ 30 β†’ 40 ml = 0.33 β†’ 1.00 β†’ 1.33 ml/L 🍢 TriPart Grow: 0 ml = 0.00 ml/L πŸ’§ TriPart Bloom: 10 β†’ 30 β†’ 20 ml = 0.33 β†’ 1.00 β†’ 0.67 ml/L πŸ’§ Cal-Mag: 60 ml = 2.00 ml/L 🍢 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new fish batch): 30 ml = 1.00 ml/L πŸ’§ pH Down: Citric acid (BuxXtrade) β€” adjust to ~pH 6.0 πŸ“¦ TOTAL : = 160 ml per 30L = 5.33 ml/L πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ βš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈ βœ‚οΈ Tools & equipment βœ‚οΈ βš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈ βœ‚οΈ 2Γ— MarsHydro SP3000 βš™οΈ MarsHydro 150mm ACF Ventilator βœ‚οΈ Trotec dehumidifier (big unit) βš™οΈ Mini no-name dehumidifier βœ‚οΈ Kebab skewers (LST – stainless) βš™οΈ Wire + roast skewers (LST assist) βœ‚οΈ Scissors (HST) βš™οΈ Vacuum (for spills & cleanup) βœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈ πŸ’πŸ­πŸ¬πŸŒˆπŸ’πŸ­πŸ¬πŸŒˆπŸ’πŸ­πŸ¬πŸŒˆπŸ’ πŸ¦„Fantasy Feast ( Seeds)πŸ¦„ πŸŒˆπŸ’πŸ­πŸ¬πŸŒˆπŸ’πŸ­πŸ¬πŸŒˆπŸ’πŸ­πŸ¬πŸŒˆπŸ’ Species: Hybrid (Regular) Genetics: The mother is Unicorn Whip by Dirty Bird Genetics.

Doggo update Couple vids sprinkled in here. Love doing slo-mo with frisbee throws and treats catching in their mouth. Slo Mo vids didn’t upload slo mo so I had to go thru and edit them and screen record it just to get them in slow mo on the site but they’re worth it Dukes ear has been bugging him and so he pins it down sometimes with the other ear straight up and he looks goofy as hell.

The flush week! Seemed ok - def had nitrogen toxicity in one purple berry kush - maybe too much ripener before. But we’re here - will give them the 24 now and chop. We’re out of time on this run. 90^% of the crop are where I want them to be however I thought I would have more droopy leaves. Will do the harvests on Monday anyways. Have a great week. Tried to edit best j could to do them justice. We were taking pics for the v1 so I brought them all out for a dance. Aroma strong πŸ˜‚. Take care everyone. Just keep going and keep on bloomin

Auto cinderella jack - Amazing week of growth. There are new nodes exploding from everywhere and its not showing signs of slowing down. They are currently loving the organic nutes and have started showing signs of flowering. Auto critical cheese - this plant has shot up recently. It was planted a week later that the ACJ but is growing some seriously fat fan leaves. Should be a nice yeilder. Peanut butter cookies - this girl is looking pretty sorry for herself. I am intentionally trying to keep her as small as possible so that I can get the autos out before flipping into flower but she is gonna be a beast. Will transplant into a final pot in the next day or so.

END OF WEEK 4 FLOWER Seems to be going well, nice to be able to sit back and watch these girls grow :D Had some bleaching on a few of the nugs, so I dimmed the light slightly and managed to raise it an extra 5cm. I also bent a few of the taller stems out from directly underneath. Big Mumma is killing it, some real nice and dense little nugs on her.
