Freaks in the sunshine

[Going2fast]

There's already an auto freak and it doesn't do well allegadely. Too slow growing.

[crucialbunny]

I'm unable to find any feminized Freak seeds these days. I've seen a couple sites with regulars but they seem sketchy to me.

[Rwise]

I cut him down (and collect pollen), but now I'm afraid I wont get any seed. Most males I have had made the soil under them yellow with their dust, nothing under him and no dust in the air or bag.

[Bluey]

Oh dear. A mutant perhaps?

[Rwise]

Time will tell, but at this time I see no seeds developing.

[Rwise]

I will be doing a tad bit of thinning on the Freakshow, the Berryfreak is good to go for now. Flowers are tiny little things.

[Rwise]

Man it freakin pored last night, rain drop big as golf balls! Its been raining all around me but me not getting wet. Early this morn I went out and gave the girl all a good shake, water went everywhere.
From this mornings pics I think almost anyone would know what these are. they are not as tall as I had hoped for, but I got a late start with them, that 4 weeks of grow time they did not get shows now.

[Gingerbeard]

You're fine. Google think's it's juniper and woodlands.

[dirtymike]

Nice, those are going to be tall. Is it giving off smell yet?

[Rwise]

Oh ya, they been smelling it up for a while, they wont get as tall as last years grow, or the year before etc..

[Rwise]

LOL, that is not a juniper tree behind them it's a loblolly pine, there is also oaks, hickorys, black walnuts, and many others. I also have junipers (and others), just not in those pics. Once again google gets it wrong!

[dirtymike]

Aint AI special. Its like the dumb uncle that keeps showing up at family reunions and you aint sure who he is or where he come from. Rwise

[Rwise]

At a family reunion, some folks showed up at meal time put their goodies on the table ate and then realized they were at the wrong family reunion, grabbed what was left and exit stage get the hell outa here. We had a good laugh.

[Gingerbeard]

It is not what you know, it is what Google can prove.
loblollyloblollyloblollyloblolly... what a fun word! I will be saying loblolly all day!

[Rwise]

Google gives me conflicting results, they'll never prove anything to me.

[Rwise]

Another day in the sun, not as hot as it was and starting to cool off as the days grow shorter and shorter. Night temps are dipping into the low 50's and upper 40's, maybe I'll see some colourts! Bent the tallest Berryfreak over and tied her down.

[dirtymike]

Getting freaky now. 5th pic looks like a 10 inch cola. Fan leaf stems are long as straws. Freak is a smooth smoke.

[Rwise]

That one was topped by the hopper crew, the one bent over next to it is not topped (yet)

[gremlins22]

Dammit I'm jealous. On my second seed of fem freaks. Can't get one to sprout. They are from Humboldt. First two were fine. Granted they are 3 years old buuuuuuut....😁😁😁

Same boat - never had any luck - finally gave up!

[Rwise]

They are hard to get started, and not an easy grow, they are slow. I went through about 20 seeds to get 4 females and 3 males (2 were cut immediately). When I cut the one I kept, it made no dust and nothing on the ground under it, I dont see any seed, maybe a couple hiding somedamnwhere.
I would not recommend Freakshow for an under experienced grower, nor for one short on inventory. My plants normally get at least 8 feet tall, many hit 12 feet, last year 38 Qts from one plant.

[Rwise]

These have caused a bit of a stir here, knowledge is spreading. The Freakshow is easy to clone! I have given away several clones of which some of those have been cloned again. The smell is fantastic.
The leaqves have changed on the Freakshow as well, not as poofy as they were in veg

[apacin0]

So weird and so awesome!

I found some info on the strains.

[Rwise]

Shapshifter is the creator of Freakshow, there are articles he wrote on just how it was done, lots of culling what was not wanted.

[Rwise]

Well these girls do not like cooler temps, in fact when the temps dropped they shut down, temps were up to 110*F and they did not mind that so much. The Berryfreaks are hanging, and the Freakshow will be in a few more days. I also find my soil to be to hot for them, these were given water only, the smell is wonderful, stronger on the Freakshow. I have had so much fun with this grow that it makes up for not so much harvest. Showing these girls to "Know it all's" (you know someone that thinks they know everything there is to know about our girls, until you show them they do not), giving away clones, they do clone well. Literally nobody I showed them to had ever seen or heard of them.
I would recommend these freaks for inside (with all the controlled environment) to get a better harvest.
I had very little issues with bugs, 6 worms and a few grasshoppers is all, no leaf issues.

[crucialbunny]

Another thing about Freaks that is great is that they give up lots and lots of kief. One of the first things you notice about the strain is the crazy amount of pistils the buds produce. They come off easily during normal drying and they are just covered in trichomes.
