The Weight

[crucialbunny]

Branch just couldn't hold this FreakShow cola anymore. It's dense and sticky
with mainly milky trichomes so I'm okay with taking it after the branch
snapped half way down the cola. Still got some larger ones but will need to
harvest soon with rain in the future forecast.

So nice. Congratulations.

[PLreef]

Nothing wrong with that!! That's a mighty fine bud, mighty fine indeed!

I was drawn to this post because 'The Weight' is a classic by The Band. I still live in the '60s with no apologies.

[PeterMatanzas]

also because Humboldt's Freak Show is really quite remarkable, whether it meets neighborly stealth standards IDK

[crucialbunny]

I was listening to it when I posted. Seemed apropos.

Can you see me now? Man I've got this one planted feet from the pond and river. She definitely doesn't mind damp feet and high humidity. Still a few weeks to go on her. Super dense mugs for a sativa. But how's the smoke?

[crucialbunny]

Nobody gives these plants a second look. It resembles some kind of thistle and flies right under the radar.

[Ckbrew]

That looks freaky good. How does it smoke?

[SoOrbudgal]

Yes us curious folks want to know the smoke reports LOL

[crucialbunny]

It'll be a few weeks at least until I know. Needs a slow dry and cure first.

[Going2fast]

Same here have not tried it yet.

[PeterMatanzas]

I'd like to try it, I first saw it on Instagram on the Humboldt account. It's expensive, but in the price range of quality seeds. Sold out at both Oaseeds and Seedsman. Both offer regulars when in stock, which I am good with.

The price is considerably cheaper at Oaseeds than Seedsman.

[Rwise]

Shame they dont give credit to the real breeder!

[FunkyButtLovin]

You gotta grab 'em when you can, they never stay in stock long.

[PeterMatanzas]

Freakshow is one of dozens of seeds I'd like to try and I don't think it will ever happen. I'm more interested in their Blueberry Muffin. Why do those seeds say "Grow Weed Easy"? Is that actually on the seed pack? What is up with that.

[FunkyButtLovin]

It's just a sticker from this site that I laid on top of the package when I took that picture last summer. I have a fair amount of Freakshow related genetics.

Blueberry Muffin is a great choice, I'm sure you'll be pleased.

[PeterMatanzas]

Thanks for your feedback, I wish I had the space to grow a hundred plants.

[PeterMatanzas]

This guy, Heart and Soil Project, is breeding new seeds with the Freakshow strain. I've bought seeds from Heart and Soil Project, a Malawi X Mozambique strain I'm very happy with. And I'd buy his Freakshow work except I have too many seeds. (The photo is a snapshot of a reel, it's moving so it's blurry.)

[PeterMatanzas]

He is giving full credit to Humboldt, and Humboldt is okay with people breeding their gear, as long as credit is given.

[Going2fast]

Got my beans from north Atlantic seeds company this spring for 50 bucks for 5 feminized seeds. They still have them advertised but out of stock atm.

[FunkyButtLovin]

Unless something has changed, you can't get HSC gear in packs of 5. As far as I know they only sell packs of 10 Fems or 20 Regs. They are making their own and selling them.

[PeterMatanzas]

ok, I understand - North Atlantic seeds opens the breeder packs to split the seeds up.

[PeterMatanzas]

Yeah, I didn't know Humboldt sold packs of 5 seeds.

[Going2fast]

Sorry wrong on the price. 60 for 5.

[crucialbunny]

I thought I would interject on this subject just a bit. Although I bought feminized seeds that were genuine Humboldt, I did end up with some males in the mix, so if you get any, be wary. It takes a lot longer to sex FreakShow than it does regular strains so it's easy to have them surprise you late in the grow. I was.
