“Gumberts” First Grow Log
Here we GROW…. First Cannabis grow ever. I am growing Frankenstein that were gifted to
me by a fellow Viet Nam Veteran.
I am in search of a way to manage Diabetic Neuropathy in hands and feet that can be totally
debilitating at times. Currently the VA Doctors have tried every drug available to them and
some of them do in fact help manage the pain in my feet (which is the worst) but the side
effect of these powerful drugs has been awful for me. Inability concentrate and work on
problem solving that require critical thinking skills. For the past 2 years I have been in a fog
causing me to fail at basic simple tasks involving math. Several months ago I decided to try
alternative medicine and one of those avenues brought me here…
Anyway, here we go, let’s grow some Frankie Fems in search of pain relief…
I have never grown cannabis but I am a grower of blueberries, Tomato, Pepper, Cucumber
and winter and summer squashes. I started moving from hydroponic to full organic in June of
- So I am now making most of my own inputs now in order to fully organic compliant.
Let’s Take a Look at the Strain:
Frankenstein:
The following is from the breeder himself:
In 1998 I started my project/search. I googled world class
‘Top Ten strains’ at that time. I picked 4 out of the list to order.
Then I broadened the search to Top 20, picking the rest from the expanded
list.
Her lineage is;
White Russian
Sour Diesel
The Pure(Skunk#1)
Blueberry
White Rhino
Hawaiian Snow
G13
then added Maui Wowieand crossed back with;
White Russian BX1
sour diesel BX1
It took 3.5 years to blend these strains, with literally hundreds of cups, all
labeled and cataloged.
Then another 1.5 years to smooth her out to a consistent stable plant.
I named her that for obvious reasons, parts of many to make ‘The
One’!
Frankenstein wasn’t bred for commercial use, I bred her out of love for the
plant and as personal/medicinal for the wife and myself.
All our friends and family got to where that was all they wanted, over any
others I had available. I’d pass out seeds and clones along with selling
buddage. They’d take the buddage back to their home towns/states and
she became gradually known across the country.
I always asked only that no one mention my name, for reasons I’m sure
most understand. I did the breeding program as well as growing of her for
the first 20yrs, in an illegal state!
For over 23 yrs this is a daily smoke. You never become inured or immune
to it, and it always performs!
So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Frankenstein!
Also, she can test as high as 27%, depending on how she is grown!
I have the lab test results from when we were commercial growing, lol
There were always a LOT of folks in the cannabis world that knew I was the
breeder, but they followed my wishes to not use my name.
OKay… So that is what we are growing and here are a few pictures of the 4 tender ladies one week after they broke ground and came into this world.
