👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 10 | She Knows What She Wants 👑🌿🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this girl... She just keeps shining. She keeps growing. She keeps asking for more. And somehow, while she's constantly telling me: "I want more!" she's showing me absolutely no signs that she's unhappy. No obvious deficits. No drama in the flowers. No collapse. No hesitation. Just growth. Beautiful growth. 😂👑 Godfather OG Pheno B has become one of those plants that I genuinely enjoy walking up to because every time I look at her, I see something I like. She's dense. She's compact for her structure. She's beautifully green. Her flowers are developing wonderfully. And she has this unmistakable personality that says: "Keep it coming. I'm not finished yet." 😂🌿👑 So this week, once again... the spotlight belongs to her. 🌱 Week 10 – Still On Her Way to Heaven I'm honestly not completely sure where this girl is going. 😂 But I like where she's going. Very much. Every week, she seems to become a little more impressive. The plant is continuing to develop those beautiful flowering structures, and there's a real sense now that she's settling into her own final form. She's not trying to become her sister. She's not trying to become another plant in the room. She's simply becoming Godfather OG Pheno B. And I really like what I'm seeing. There's something very satisfying about watching a phenotype gradually reveal itself. At the beginning, you have an idea. Then the plant grows. Then she branches. Then she flowers. And eventually you start thinking: "Okay... now I see who you are." And with this girl, I'm definitely starting to see it. 🍃 That Beautiful Green One of the things I really love about her right now is the colour. That beautiful, healthy green is still such a strong part of her identity. And what's particularly interesting is how similar the overall colour expression is becoming compared with her sister. They're different plants. Different structures. Different personalities. Different ways of approaching the same environment. But there is still that family resemblance. You can look at them and think: Yep. Those two belong together. And then you look closer... and realize how differently they've interpreted that same genetic potential. That's the magic of phenotypes. Same family. Different story. And Pheno B is writing a very beautiful one. 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Serious And now... the flowers. This is where things are getting really exciting. The bud formation is becoming increasingly defined, and there's a beautiful density developing throughout the plant. She's no longer just carrying flowering sites. She's building flowers. Real structure. Real volume. Real character. And the photographs make that particularly obvious. The individual flowers are becoming easier to distinguish, while the surrounding foliage is creating that beautiful contrast between green leaves and developing floral structures. She's got a lot happening. And I love it. There's something about a plant reaching this stage where you stop looking at individual branches and start seeing the whole thing as one coordinated flowering structure. That's where she is heading now. And honestly? She's looking fantastic. 👑 Demanding Doesn't Mean Unhappy Now let's talk about her appetite. Because this girl is still demanding. 😂🍽️ She continues asking for more. And she's certainly one of the plants that makes me pay attention to how much she's consuming. But here's what I really like about the situation: She's not showing me obvious signs that she's struggling. She's not throwing up warning flags everywhere. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining that beautiful colour. She's developing density. She's continuing to progress. So her appetite is simply part of her personality. Some plants are happy with a little. Some plants want seconds. Godfather OG Pheno B apparently wants to know whether there's dessert. 😂👑🍰 And honestly... if she keeps looking like this, I'm not going to complain about her appetite. She's putting those resources to work. 💡 She's Catching Photons Like She Means It And once again, we have to talk about the invisible workers in this room: photons. Every day, the lights come on. Photons begin moving through the canopy. And this girl is ready. She's got a substantial amount of healthy foliage positioned throughout her structure, giving her plenty of opportunity to intercept that light. The photons arrive. The leaves capture what they can. And the plant uses that captured energy to support everything happening inside her. Growth. Maintenance. Development. Flower formation. All those beautiful things we're able to see with our eyes are connected to something we can't see at all. Light energy. And Godfather OG Pheno B looks like she's taking full advantage of it. 💡🌿 She's not just sitting underneath the lights. She's using them. ☀️ A Three-Dimensional Canopy This is also where I really appreciate the lighting philosophy we've been using throughout the 8×8. The main Black Series LEDs provide the primary overhead illumination. But the canopy isn't a flat surface. It's a three-dimensional environment. Leaves are positioned at different heights. Branches move through different levels. Flowers develop at different angles. And that's where the additional inner and lower-canopy lighting becomes interesting. We're trying to get useful photons into places that naturally receive less direct illumination from above. Not simply: "More light everywhere." But rather: "How can we make better use of the space this plant has created?" And Pheno B has created some beautiful space. She's dense. She's compact. She's structured. And she's carrying flowers throughout that structure. So those photons have plenty of work to do. 😂💡🌿 🌿 Dense, But Still Her Own Shape One thing I particularly like this week is that she's becoming denser without losing her identity. She's not a completely flat canopy. She's not a wall. She's not trying to imitate anybody else. She's got her own architecture. And now that the flowers are becoming more developed, that architecture is becoming even easier to appreciate. The structure she created earlier in the run is now supporting the flowering phase. That's one of the most rewarding parts of watching a plant through an entire cycle. You see the decisions she made earlier... and eventually you get to see what those decisions become. Godfather OG Pheno B built this structure. Now she's filling it. And she's doing a beautiful job. 💨 Environment – Let the System Work As always, the environment remains an important part of the bigger picture. We're continuing with the same overall room strategy rather than constantly changing things around individual plants. The room is sitting around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~29°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~25°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~26°C 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h And once again, the important part isn't simply looking at the numbers. It's looking at what the plant does with them. And Pheno B keeps telling us: "I'm good. Keep going." So that's exactly what we're doing. ⚗️ Feeding – She Keeps Asking for More The shared flowering nutrition strategy remains: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required The current solution remains around pH 6.0 and approximately 2.0 mS/cm EC. And yes... she still looks like she'd happily eat more. 😂 She's one of the phenotypes where I really notice the difference between simply providing nutrition and watching how the plant actually responds to it. She's consuming. She's growing. She's developing. She's maintaining her colour. And she's continuing to build flowers. That's why I'm interested in her. She's demanding... but she's also performing. And there's a big difference. 🌸 The Sister Comparison I also really enjoy looking at Pheno B alongside her sister. Godfather OG Pheno A has her own personality. She has been demanding. She's hungry. She's intense. She's got that Queen energy. 😂👑 But Pheno B has a slightly different expression. She's demanding too... but somehow she feels more composed about it. She doesn't seem interested in making a dramatic announcement. She just keeps growing and quietly says: "More, please." 😂 And then she goes back to work. That's the beautiful thing about having both phenotypes in the same room. The environmental baseline stays similar. The genetic expression changes. And suddenly those differences become visible. You don't have to imagine the comparison. They're right there beside each other. Two sisters. Two interpretations. Two stories. 📸 Behind the Lens I really like the photographs of this girl this week. The wider shots show the overall structure. The closer photographs bring out those developing flowers. And the combination of green foliage and increasingly defined buds makes her particularly photogenic right now. There are plants where the camera has to work hard to find the story. This isn't one of them. 😂📸 You point the camera at her and... there's the story. Flowers. Structure. Leaves. Light. Density. And that beautiful colour. The closer you look, the more details start appearing. That's one of my favourite things about documenting this adventure. The plants are changing gradually. But photographs freeze a moment. Then you put two weeks beside each other... and suddenly you realize how much has happened. 🔬 She's Becoming Very Easy to Recognize At this point, I don't think I'd have much trouble picking this phenotype out of the room. There's a recognizable character developing. The structure. The colour. The density. The flowering pattern. The way she carries herself. It's all starting to come together. That's what phenotype hunting is really about for me. It's not simply finding the plant that grows the biggest. It's discovering those little combinations of characteristics that make one plant stand apart from another. And Pheno B is definitely standing apart. She's becoming herself. 🌿 No Need to Force Her And once again, I'm not interested in forcing this girl to become something she isn't. She's already telling us what she wants to do. She's growing. She's building. She's staying beautiful. She's consuming resources. She's catching photons. She's filling her space. So my job is mostly to observe and make sure the environment continues supporting that process. Sometimes the best cultivation decision is intervention. Sometimes it's adjustment. And sometimes... it's simply: "She's doing great. Leave her alone." 😂🌱 This feels like one of those weeks. Let her work. 💡 Photons, Leaves, Flowers... The Whole Chain I think this is also one of the most beautiful things about the way we're documenting the 8×8. We can talk about photons as an abstract concept. Invisible particles of light moving through the room. But then you look at a plant like Godfather OG Pheno B. You see the leaves. You see the flowers. You see the growth. And suddenly that invisible process becomes very tangible. Light enters the system. The plant captures it. The plant processes it. And eventually... we see the result. Those beautiful flowers sitting there under the lights. That's the part I love. The science is happening whether we can see it or not. And we're simply documenting the visible consequences. 💡➡️🌿➡️🌸 🔮 Where Is She Going? Honestly... I don't know. 😂 And that's exactly why I'm enjoying it. She's on her way somewhere. Heaven? The moon? The top of the flowering mountain? 😂👑🌿 I have absolutely no idea. But I like the direction. I like the structure. I like the colour. I like the density. I like the flowers. And I really like the personality. So let's see where she takes us. There's still plenty of story left to write. 💭 Final Thoughts – Keep Shining, Girl Week 10. And Godfather OG Pheno B continues to impress me. She's demanding. She's hungry. She keeps asking for more. But she's giving me absolutely no reason to believe she's unhappy with the environment. Quite the opposite. She's growing beautifully. She's maintaining that gorgeous green. She's developing dense, well-defined flowers. She's making excellent use of the space around her. And she's catching every photon she can get her leaves on. 😂💡🌿 She's not trying to become her sister. She's not trying to become the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to prove anything. She's simply becoming herself. And I like her. I really like her. There's something about this phenotype that keeps pulling my attention back. Every time I look at her, I find another reason to smile. So let's not rush her. Let's not force her. Let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. And let's see where this beautiful girl decides to take us. Because wherever she's going... I like the direction. 👑🌿🌸🔥 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 This project continues to be such an incredible learning experience. Twelve different genetic stories. One shared environment. One room. And so many completely different personalities. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these phenotypes can become. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for keeping the photons flying through this jungle. 💡🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to watch the girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. And Godfather OG Pheno B? She's still here. Still hungry. Still demanding. Still catching photons. Still growing. Still building. Still beautiful. And apparently... still on her mysterious journey toward heaven. 😂👑🌿 I don't know exactly where she's going. But I know one thing. I like what I see. So let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching her story unfold. And let's see just how far this beautiful, hungry, green little powerhouse wants to go. 👑💡🌿🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿👑📸

Do not pay attention to the temperature on the thermometer in the middle, it lies by a couple of degrees. I have a good thermometer on top of the box that shows the temperature. Day 29: After a terrible fracture, we see that the plant is beginning to recover. I'm honestly disappointed because it makes it very difficult for me to train mainlining and it will also increase the amount of time it takes to grow. Day 30: It looks much better already, I could superprune the right branch, but I don't want to stress it. I will try to bend the right branch harder, I will bend the left one a little in the morning the next day, maybe early. Day 31: This morning I cut the lower leaves, photo in the evening and continued the LST training after the injury. Photo in the evening. Day 32: I am completely sure that the plant has moved away from the stress, but we can see on the left circle, the right bud (and side) slowed growth. Day 34: I saw traces of salt on the tips of the new leaves, so now I pour water with regular 15 PPM.

day 77 and I think it is not ready to be harvested, what do you think? , I will leave it for a week more as it progresses, I still see the very aired buds and the trichomes because I see pure milky and clear I do not see amber, the purple tones have only been present in the leaves and the tips of the flowers, some leaves have started to fall and turn yellow, I did a root washing yesterday

July 27: she’s starting to preflower so I’m going with phyto-forcing using a 730 nm light for a few seconds at dusk each night. This puts plant into dark mode two hours faster so it’s like getting two more hours of darkness making it a 26 h day. Good trick, and super easy. July 30: video showing how I make my lazy compost tea. Best plants in four seasons of outdoor growing so it definitely works. A similar commercial product would be Recharge which has molasses, Humic acids and bacteria. Aug 1: plants always look super healthy after a round of compost tea.

Final week. Power buds from Plagron helps accelerate the flowering period for sure. I am harvesting tomorrow.😎 This week no fertilizers just water only. Overall happy with the way they shaped up, compared to other strains from other breeders. Need to see after harvest but as a first impression this strain is amazing. The smell now is out of this world. Zesty!!!Lots of citrus scent.Loving it. As for the LST only vs topped. I like the LST only. It matured faster. It is bigger. It has more bud sites . Had an overall better structure. Refer to videos for comparison. But need to see the harvest, weight, smoke report for full comparison Till harvest 👏🎉

 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
