Freak show

[kingfish]

I got a freebee Freak show seed that I germinated 2 weeks ago. Since most have never seen one before ,I thought I share the progress with the gang. I will take a picture of it once a week.

[SoOrbudgal]

Here's mine she's oh i don't know maybe 2 months old. That's less than a 1 gal container she's in LOL rather a slow goer.

[dirtymike]

Its a good smoke.

[Ckbrew]

Are those preflowers on that thing?

[crucialbunny]

This one broke ground on April 12. Moved it into its permanent home
outdoors in a 30 gallon bag 2 days ago. Using the screen house early
this year because recent rains have created a grasshopper explosion.
The Girl Scout Cookies I planted a week later are already dwarfing the
Freaks but they'll catch up pretty soon I believe.

[dirtymike]

That is a good tasting strain.

[Going2fast]

Lol mine I was about to put her outdoors but the rabbits got my other two already. Plan b the beach or indoors.

[Going2fast]

Btw subscribed. Love watching peeps grow the freaks. Good luck.

[Going2fast]

Yeah they are slow growing for sure.

[kingfish]

Can they be topped?

[crucialbunny]

Have any of you tried SupaFreak yet? It was available through North Atlantic Seed Company at $20 per seed this past winter as a non-feminized but now they don't offer either. It looks exactly like the regular Freakshow.

[kingfish]

My Freak show 3 weeks from seed. The one behind it is a Royal Runtz. It was started the same time as the Freak show, 5-9-23.

[SoOrbudgal]

Yep behaves the same as mine. Shoot my outdoor photos now some are 3ft LOL freak is hmmm 7" something like that LOL

[kingfish]

SoOrbudgal, have you ever topped them?

[SoOrbudgal]

No kingfish i've not topped. It's so abnormal to me i would'nt know where LOL

[crucialbunny]

SoOrbudgal the first season I grew Freaks I did absolutely no training just so I could get an idea of how they grew naturally. Helped me get an idea of how to address training in the future.

[kingfish]

crucialbunny, what was your idea? My plant isn't quite there yet. I'm leaning towards topping it if I can identify the 3rd or 4th node.

[crucialbunny]

kingfish I haven't even tried topping one. With it's rapid growth, I've found that just arching the main stalk and then training the subsequent branches gives me plenty of colas and a nice yield. It works for me so I figure, why mess with what's working?

[dirtymike]

I topped mine. Probably what slowed and stunted its growth. The small harvest i got was so tasty. Even when drying it never smelled like Hay. Kept the fruity taste till the end, Up in smoke.

[kingfish]

crucialbunny, LST now that's an idea. thanks.

[kingfish]

Freak show 4 weeks old. all the plants in picture 2 where seeded at the same time.

[dirtymike]

patience, shes gonna taste so good.

[Going2fast]

This one got topped.

[kingfish]

Going2fast, how old is that plant?

[Going2fast]

kingfish I believe about 50 days but 2 weeks ago a wind storm nocked her off the table and I had to repot. Just put her in the ground. Grew it 2 years ago and didn't pop the bean till June 1. Still got 5 oz of of her. Once they are comfortable they will speed up but still a rather slow growing sativa.

[SoOrbudgal]

Ohhh i should of known more about this strain no wonder she doesn't grow as fast as my indica hybrids.

[SoOrbudgal]

Here's my freaky gal she's growing up not bushy lean an mean LOL shes got 6-7 bud sites i think? No topping
