Heading into week 5 with N deficiency

Its the green stem one. Slow poke fucking looks like its in week 3 bloom. Unless it pulls some late game magic. I don’t think I will grow it again. I did everything I could could do wrong to it. Topped it like 40 tops stunted it and stunted it even more by over feeding for weeks.

We will see. I’m not jumping up and down for DJ right now. :rofl: Finicky plant. Like a bad girlfriend. This DJ wants barely any nutrients. Like low low dose.

Guess it’s one of those less is more plants. I haven’t done anything to mine cept throw it in a 30 gallon, daily waterings and a tea depending on cycle every 10-14 days, in veg I was more aggressive every 10 day and now that im onto finishing tea im backed off to every 2 weeks, my worst trouble was hose catching and snapping a stem when it was younger 🤷

Story of my life. :rofl:

Ive been using an obscene amount.Went through 40lbs of Two row and 50 lbs of ecw i wanted to use up the bags the Frankenstien and the backpacks devoured it (Dont get me started onnthe Frankenstien that thing eats Nutes that would overdose most plants and yells for more)i had it broke up in soil begining of season and i did two top dressings last one was 3 weeks ago and was the last ill feed them was mixed with half a bag of DR earth Flower girl Bloom and bud booster and supplemented with TPS bud hardener and builder through out the flower.I havent watered them in a bit to get it todry up back there.I think all thise overcast days had something to do with the PM everyone i know has it and the humidity this year in western ny has been nutts off the lake

That’s an excellent grow note to have on that one. Everything in my garden was green and lush without excess hunger or deficiencies, id be curious how it would have been running it, I’m ALMOST confident that my soil is charged up enough over the years aggressively running it with minimal down time that it might just be able to handle a frankie, @Kasper0909 outdoor sure went crazy this year

Still deciding out next seasons grow, which would u suggest? The regs or the fems? Pretty sure I’ve got both around. Might be the year to showcase a beauty from ya, I don’t think I have ran a grow and tagged u running ur beans, I’m slacking big time and need to kick it up a notch :grin:

So many beans, NEVER enough time!

Go with the fem, if you have em. I’m not sure where you mighta gotten regular Frankenstein? Never heard of any being made. Especially since there hasn’t been any male Frankie in over 20+ yrs lol Back in my breeding program, was the last.

Maybe they are fems, need to get my collection organized. The ones that come to mind I got from @Kasper0909 when he was kind enough to get me some tobacco seeds too

They have to be fem, cuz.
Have you seen @MissinBissin and @CapnCannabis or @BigMike55 Frankensteins? Awesome plants! I’m also growing out a ‘SHE BEAST’ Frankie indoors, pics on my Circus thread.

What are you thoughts on Cascadia Kush Alien kush x frankenstein.
I got some Cascadia Kush CBD sugar wax I made gummies with that are probably the best night time CBD I’ve ever taken. I’m now looking at the THC strain.

I say go for it, cuz! lol Always interested in seeing how other strains blend with her.

Oh ooops lol I see that someone has already done it!
I know I gave some clones/seeds(from the breeding program) of Frankie to friends on the West Coast back in the early 2000s and they grew her out for sale there.
