Thanks for the insights! I noticed that the seeds were very light in color, noticed that already when researching this strain. after these seeds arrived without their original Humboldt packaging I was crossing my fingers that they were legit. well since they were so pale i knew I was on the right track.
It makes alot of sense what you said about the calyx being small and the seeds essentially not fully forming or developing on the plant. I will let her take her time to veg and will keep an eye on her. For now she looks like she is doing well and is on track to show normal development.
I wonder how they came across this mutation, must have been pretty unstable at first since it's not often seen. Also I wonder if its recessive.
@CannaDaTaBiz Have you already sprouted some of the seeds you made? are they showing the leave structure etc or is it too early?
thanks
No problem
Im looking forwards seeing what sort of phenos people get from these. I still got 4 original freakshow reg seeds left also, but ill save them for later and take a look at these F2 seeds and freakshow crosses first.
I just planted some normal pale pollinated freakshow seeds 2 days ago, but they havent surfaced yet. Seeds did open in water, so they should be good to go. Also i noticed that one of the seeds tried to grow really weird form the beginning, Like trying to push out two main root taps, but it seems to have been stunted since it first opened. Im keeping that between paper towel incase it makes twins and not just some mutated double tap root. They were from freakshow mother, so they look mostly like freakshow seeds, but some have a little darker on them but almost as pale as original seeds.
I have not planted the F2 freakshow seeds yet.
Trying to cross the freakshow with amherst sour diesel and triple g(gelato x gorilla glue) and then combine those and hope for little leaf mutation, but mostly normal, or at least some of those nice unique terps if nothing else.
From what i have gathered around from internets from what other people think, it seems that the leaf mutation is recessive like autoflower, but also seems like if you make F2 you start to get more mutation, but not nearly as much as freakshow, kinda like sharper teeth on the leafs. Google freakberry f2.
Its funny i saw someone(maybe was humboldt CSI) recently crossing freakshow to australian bastard cannabis(ABC) and he posted a pic of the seedling. Even tho both freakshow and ABC look nothing like normal weed, their baby seedling looked perfectly regular cannabis despite both being stable mutants
You can find some stuff from instagram if you search for freakshow cannabis.
Here is a pic of some of the freakshow x regular seeds(they look bit darker than normal on that photo and also are quite fresh, so they are still a bit green):
You can see how some seeds are developed half way and then just died and never developed fully. These were already separated from the calyx at around 4 weeks after pollination. Usually seeds take like 5-7 weeks and i dunno how many days earlier these actually got separated
