As an alternative to the missing Freakshow? I can share some with both of you, I am not a fan of outdoor growing, send me a PM with your addys …
Are these the same as the Freakshow?
no ABC and Freakshow are diffrerent - ABC’s leaves resemble garden herbs, forming a plant with a bush-like and duck-billed appearance.
Ok, but are they both mutants?
Yes, freskshow, abc, and duck foot are all mutations.
Check out the history of mongy weed and when it got the name ABC.
nope,as an addition to freaks of nature so hey have each others company I´m still hopeful.
They say hope is the last thing to lose , I will reward your optimism with those seeds if you wish …
I have sent you a PM
Guys like you help restore my faith in man.
You, sir, a good man!
Just thought I would say so.
@anon93244739 is trying to do a new run with the supafreak check em out, the more the merrier!!
So the Mongy weed can be mix with just about any other species of plants to give them a mutated appearance?
I’m not sure I was just reading article where some guy claims the mongy us a worked versio of the ABC and I was thinking the freakshow kinda looked similar, if I can find that article again I’ll post a link.
I believe Mongy weed is the name before Mark labelled it abc. The abc around today is different to the original heirloom. Although through a good pheno hunt I have found some tight internode individuals probably closer to the ground cover dense bushes once grown. Its a great plant to work with
The abc genes are recessive so its not expressed in first generation, backcross for 50% to express or ibl them for 25% to express
Freakshow has pineapple express and a few others in its lineage alot of sativa from my reading. Sounds like he teased it out be breeding double serated, narrow leaves together repeatedly
He talks about it here
The ABC is a very recessive gene. CSI Humboldt has crossed it with TK and Chem D and they only put out like 10-15 % ABC seeds. I’ve been watching him on IG.
Edit: I still have some seeds if people are concerned about missing out.
Story goes that an Australian couple came across this freak of weed, more Hemp than anything else. They fostered it and worked with it for some years. A guy that was their friend took interest in the particular strain and was handed down some seeds. He began working on it for some time and giving seeds away to “friends”.
As written by Mongyman
-> Hi all, I thought I would write this post to explain what Mongy Weed is and to hopfully clear up the confusion created by Bindi, Dizzy, ABC and Duckfoot etc.
Best to mention Wally Ducks “Duckfoot” strain first. It is not Mongy Weed. But it is a very interesting plant, another strange mutant marijuana.
ABC, Dizzy, Bindi etc. on the other hand are all Mongy Weed.
The original genetics for Mongy Weed were from a mutated stand of wild hemp ( what I’d call hemp anyway ) found not far from Sydney, Australia. I would like to claim fame for this find, but although I did get to see the plants, It wasn’t me that found them. The now elderly couple that did find them I would like to thank for teaching me the basics that got me started growing all plants and especially for recognizing and passing on this strange leaf mutation.
In its native state Mongy Weed is not very good for hemp or THC. It is a weed. The couple who found it began to cross these original Mongy Weed seeds with their own plants and were having some success until they were beaten by age, and new living circumstances saw an end to their love of growing cannabis. And as I had shown so much interest, this is when I was given their seeds and began to grow Mongy Weed for myself.
Most of their early crosses were with pure sativa and sativa dominant plants of unknown origin. As were mine. the first known strain I crossed with was Durban Poison. Mongy Weed was totally unknown as cannabis at this stage and i was able to grow it just about anywhere undetected which meant that I was able to introduce many different cannabis strains into the gene pool with relative ease. This mixed seed stock I called Mongy Madness.
Many of these seeds I started to give to friends ( which I thought was just about everyone back then ) so they could grow their own Mongy Madness and it wasn’t that many years after this ( stupid me, it was obvious in hind sight ) I had people trying to sell me Mongy Madness as Bindi weed, and I am reading reports in the paper about new “mutant super weed” busts. I stopped giving away ANY seed after this and continued to grow my own strains in private.
Mongy Madness faded into past knowledge for most people as far as I knew and I had heard little more until recently when I got a computer and learned of the Mongy Madness seed that Marc Emery had taken back to Canada and named australian bastard cannabis or ABC.
Since then I know of a couple of people who have continued to grow Emery’s Mongy seed. Another grower I have found who is also working with Mongy Madness seed, calls his strain Dizzy.
I have been growing Mongy Weed for well over 20yrs and don’t intend to stop now. It is way too interesting a plant. I have friends who still grow Mongy Madness, and have met a few more people both in Australia and overseas since getting a computer who also do. It wouldn’t surprise me if there are more people who have continued to grow Mongy Madness in private over the years as I literaly gave away buckets of seed to alot of different people.
Anyway I hope this has helped clear up a few of the mis-conceptions that surround this plant that I have always refered to as Mongy Weed and the couple that found it always called Cannabis Australis.
Hope that clarifies something
Wow. I knew some of that above but I wish it was posted in the beginning of this thread.
Thanks for the info!
This duckfoot strain everyone talks of,i had it once back in the early 2k.
But it was a strain that was developed in my backyard, by accident.
Some plants got accidentally bred and I threw them in the ground the next year.
When they came up they were stranger than fuck, looked like a cross between horse weed and mj.
They got trashed.
