That’s pretty exciting news! Us Canadians that can’t try a real deal cut from the man himself, it a chance to try something relatively close

3&1/2 years of intensive crossing, meticulous logging, and blood sweat & tears. Then another 1&1/2 yrs to smooth her out.
Frankenstein is very much set in her femininity! Very hard to stress/hermie… takes a licking and keeps on ticking lol
Great for first time growers, while experienced growers will get her to perform beyond their expectations!

Caught my attention, big time!
@JohnnyPotseed you may recall me sticking my foot in my mouth when I introduced myself here on OG, before I even heard of you and your prize strain.
Scroll to last sentence of my post!
@GrouchyOldMan I will be paying utmost attention as this plays out!
Promise not to stick my foot in mouth again, at least not the same way!

Growing the frank now and she’s got a berry blue kinda smell but it’s complex. I am smelling my fingers trying to place it but I am just licking my lips.

Hey how could ya know cuz? I’m 73 and been growing/breeding since I was a youngun on my gramps marijauana farm That’s non-stop except for a couple tours in Nam '60s lol
We’re retired now from a few years in the commercial growing, due to a host of medical issues. But…I’m still growing! With the help of my wife and son, that is! lol
@MrWizard , it looks like that was more a generic term you used for all these new strains coming out lol
But after 20+ yrs, I doubt Original Frankenstein can really be considered ‘new’

One of mine was quite perturbed by gravity… only time I’ve ever had a plant so top-heavy that it fell over during veg. 
It happened to both my clones actually, but I caught one of them before the stem snapped and she was ok with some support. Excellent looking buds though, and they smell great. I’m not gonna try to describe the smell beyond that… very complex. Hopefully I’ll have a smoke report in another month, mine’s also in week 7. Waiting to see if I have a spider mite problem.

Got any pictures?

Sorry, none more current than the last one I uploaded; I’ve discovered that my phone wasn’t transferring the pictures directly to my computer but was sending them through Google Photos. Not doing any more until I can figure out how to do it securely, and it seems a lot more difficult with this phone than I remember my last one being. I have no idea where any of the directories are, if they exist at all or if I’m accessing the phone through the wrong operating system somehow… but even though I know they’re there, it looks like they aren’t. 
I used to know how to use technology, a decade or two ago…

So, it turns out I do know how to use technology! I just didn’t have the right technology. Apparently I never bothered to buy a new charger cable over the several forced upgrades to my phone, so I was still using a USB 2.0 charger cable. Once upon a time, that was also sufficient to transfer files, but not anymore - now it’s old, obsolete trash incapable of getting anything done. Just like my old phone, which lasted all of two years before planned obsolescence was forced upon me… bleh. Shouldn’t get started on this one. Anyway, I have pictures! Eventually I’ll get around to updating my grow thread too, but you lovely folks get a special peek preview:

It’s nice and under control compared to this one… this is what happens when you accidentally “top” a 2-foot tall Frankenstein down to two nodes and then leave it for a month. A full recovery and then some, I dare say. Two weeks in, I just hope she actually gets through flower without discovering spider mites…
