Pistils starting to turn a little Amber, buds filling in a little more and trichomes starting to have nice coverage, everything is looking good so far!

Hi everyone 🤗. Everything is going great 👍. There are no defects or anything unusual :-). Today the Blue Cheese Pheno 1 became the first time rinsed, and now only gets 0.4 Ec water for the next 10 days ca :-). Everyone else needs a while. otherwise there is not much to report this week. I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

F50 to 56 Thursday These things seem to be finishing very early compared to normal and that's odd to me since I've never gone less than 63 days and now I have 3 different strains looking pretty close at F50. That back left Apex really needs to hurry tf up! I can see colors and starting to come through but still a lot of white pistils. I wonder if I'm just stressing it out with all the light. It'll be over soon boo, just hang in there! Dropped the Velokelp 1000ppm @ 6.1 Lights 100% @ 5-10" away 25c/48rh

Day 43 -23/01/22 looking good 👍

Hello everybody! This was the last week for this little Titan F1, yesterday the plant got harvested and now is hanging upside-down in darkness. Is hanging as a whole plant, I was afraid to wet trim it before as my humidity is not always in the best value ranges. So I preferred to be on the safe side and avoid super fast or excessively drying after a wet trim. I will have a little more work to do during DRY trimming but is ok, is just 1 little plant. In this last two weeks not much was going on. Just soil flushing and constant checking on trichomes every 2/3 days. This was the last week, the plant again got only plain water adjusted to the right pH, around 6.4. 2 liters of water every 2 days. For a total of 6 liters this week. Yesterday at day 85 the plant FINALLY got chopped down. A little late on the schedule, it took her around 10 days longer than RQS indicates. Overall from my observations it looked like the plant could go longer that's why I kept her till day 85. Also the trichomes were not ready yet (somewhere around 90%). Before harvest I actually checked the trichomes for the last time and FINALLY they were all nice and milky. Almost 0 lucid or transparent. I chopped her in the perfect moment I believe. In the last days I lowered a little bit the intensity of the light to 50%, I noticed that on the main cola the terpenes were evaporating. The light was too close and definitely too strong. This was due to my latest lightning upgrade. From 70 to 100 watt. I should have kept the old lighting on untill the end of her life even if was for just 1 week. Anyway the new light it gave her benefits, the plant definitely got more beefy with the new illumination. But also got some light burn and stress. But the most important thing is that the plant survived this journey and now is drying up. So the last two days before harvest the light was at 50%, in fact the plant recovered so well and the main cola started to smell again. Im sooo happy. There are some purple spots on buds 💜 from light stress and genetics of course. Regarding drying and curing the plan is: Drying in darkness for 7-10 days. Temp 17 celcius and around 51-53% humidity. Curing inside air sealed jars with Boveda humidity packs for about 1 or 2 months. I dunno if go for the 62% or the Boveda 58%. I think i will start with 62% and then decide if I like it or needs couple % less. Of course in one week after is dry I will do the first smoke test without curing it, im too excited and impatient, it was 3 months maaannn, time to smoke test it now. I will keep 1 or 2 grams and the rest will go in the jar for the final cure. Honestly I never look at the dry weight, is a bit too vague, full o little branches, leaves... Just not important for now. Next week when I do the dry trimming I will update with the last pictures and the final dry weight. Thanks to everybody and see you next week.

So I seem to have lost a few of the videos I had of me constructing the actual garden area. I will post them If I find them as It Is quite a transformation! I originally only planted a couple of the Stardawgs and 4 of the GG. Due to been a bit of a maniac and a false sense of confidence, I thought.. ill just flood it 😂

This week gave me a lot of info. I see purple showing up on the edges of leaves. The trichomes are really starting to line the leaves of the upper buds. Both of those things are like krunkleberry. The longer structure of the buds lean toward critical. The way the buds are filling in looks krunkleberry. The smell is a dank sour dough blueberry with a floral critical back drop. I'm not sure if I want to eat it burn it or stuff a pillow with it! In regard to nutrients over the week. A top dressing of roots organic terp tea was applied at a rate of 1 tsp/ gal of soil. 2 cups of roots organic 707 soil was added as well for the ready available nutes in it. Today a brewed batch of terp tea will be watered in. The tea was brewed for 24 hours. It was mixed at a rate of 1 tsp/gal of water. This next part really just made me smile. The water started at a ph of 7.3. After brewing for 24 hours the terp tea ph was 6.73.

Christmas came early this year 🎁🎄. So first of all merry x-mas and happy holidays! Big thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron for the opportunity to compete in this contest 💚.

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

I might have made a few mistakes, since I watered with Big Buds for another week even though we should have already started with Overdrive. Anyway, it still turned out to be another great autoflower. I just love the genetics of Fastbuds.

Plants seemed to have slowed vertical growth of the four main tops and the buds are now bulking up. Side buds are growing slightly taller but mostly just getting fatter. Lost track of exactly what I fed with this past week but the most significant change was two feedings of CAB 3 with a double shot of 'B' which is an additional 76 ppm P and 96 ppm K. This is my knockoff solution to the various bloom boosting products recommended everywhere. My next grow I will do a test without the PK boost as a few research articles I have seen say the boost is unnecessary but there is also info available contradicting that premise. Also supplemented on different days with Recharge 5 ml/gallon, molasses 55~ ml/gallon, 12% humic acid 30~ ml/gallon.

The friend of mine borrowed me an EC exhaust fan with a very nice exhaust volume capacity. As a result I managed to drop the day temperature from 29°C to very nice 24°C. One thing which worries me a bit is the softness/fragility of branches. When I was doing a defoliation, some of the branches got almost broken. That's something I have not experienced yet. Thought, that this will be taken care of by using calmag and silic rock. And it may have gotten better a bit. Just a bit though. I am curious how this develops further, especially when buds volume increases.

Pretty happy with the grow and the harvest, the drying went well also! Each grow highlights changes for the next and this has been no different! I'll be making more training adjustments in the next runs to try and refine the vertical scrog and get to the point where it's a wall 1 bud thick! I know it will get there in the end it's just like relearning how to do a horizontal scrog! I just need to predict the way the plant will respond when the light is from the sides! Bravery and brutality during pruning I think is the key! 😂✌️💚

อาทิตที่ 3 แล้วผ่านไปอย่างรวดเร็ว ต้นไม้สมบูรณ์ดี ตอนนี้วัสดุปลูกที่เตรียมไว้เป็นเวลาสองอาทิตคาดว่าน่าจะพร้อมใช้งานได้แล้วดูจากเชื้อราที่ขึ้นบนผิว หลังจากเอาลงวัสดุปลูกที่เตรียมไว้ ไม่มีอาการใดๆต้นสมบูรณ์ดี

Our prayers were answered! Honestly, I'm not sure how well the plants would have done if it hadn't rained during the week. We got enough rain to keep the temperature and humidity just where we needed it for most of the day. However, at night, it was a big hassle because water got inside the greenhouse, affecting the humidity big time. After that, it was super hot, so the water evaporated quickly. Transferring the plants into bigger pots was pretty simple, but I definitely recommend the process for outdoor plants ONLY. This whole experience has been a learning process. We gave them nutrients a little too soon, but since we were able to catch it, we've only been giving them water and nutrients once a week moving forward. We've also been spraying them with neem oil since we don't know what could be festering in the greenhouse by now. Nevertheless, the plants are thriving and starting to grow more than just three leaves... hehe.

On the grow itself, I just got twice as much yield with 1/3 fewer plants by switching to coco and CocoTek, I would count that a win. Zero stress so I was right, grow them without stress and you will be rewarded. Just the easiest best smelling little plant to grow. Always germs well and produces long as you treat her right. It loved the CocoTek and Soul Peak finisher FIVE STARS ON BOTH add them to the list GD! If anyone needs help growing in coco coir get this book! Coco for Cannabis - MJ Coco https://www.amazon.com/Coco-Cannabis-Growers-Dr-M-J-ebook/dp/B07G9LR4W2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LYSB5G978Y1I&keywords=coco+for+cannabis&qid=1579029394&sprefix=coco+for%2Caps%2C267&sr=8-1 1/20 Absolutely the best grow yet for potency, dont want to guess but it's at the strains upper limits I am thinking from the effect.

😍

How beautifully it's slowly turning purple. I'm already looking forward to the RF3 version of Strawberry Gorilla. It's really not the biggest, but I hope it will still produce thick buds.

Lst hat glaube was gebracht, also auf jeden Fall ist alles gut in die Höhe gewachsen, ich hoffe die anderen Blüten an den ehemaligen Seiten Trieben bilden sich auch noch schön, sonst alles prima
