Freakshow
Also known as: The Freakshow, Shapeshifter, Freakshow!
Freakshow Strain Overview
Freakshow is an extraordinarily unique cannabis strain created by breeder Jordan (nicknamed 'Shapeshifter') from California, who developed this botanical anomaly while attempting to stabilize a specific terpene profile. The strain emerged from crossing progeny of Big Bud and Skunk #1 with offspring of Big Sur Holy Bud and Banana Kush, resulting in one of the most visually striking cannabis varieties ever created. What sets Freakshow apart is its dramatic genetic mutation called 'leaflet,' appearing in roughly 0.5% of cannabis plants, which creates highly segmented, fern-like leaves instead of traditional broad cannabis foliage. Through years of selective breeding and stabilization by Humboldt Seed Company, Freakshow has become commercially available while maintaining its bizarre morphological characteristics. The plant's appearance is so unusual that it has been petitioned to be classified as 'cannabis monstra' rather than traditional indica or sativa categories. Despite its alien appearance, Freakshow produces conventional flowers with dense, trichome-rich buds featuring bright neon green nugs, thick orange hairs, and golden-white crystal trichomes. The strain represents one of the most dramatic expressions of genetic variation in modern cannabis breeding.

Freakshow Strain Growing Information
Freakshow is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with moderate difficulty. Flowering time ranges from 55-71 days (8-10 weeks), with outdoor harvests typically ready by early to mid-October. Indoor yields average 24 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 64 ounces per plant. The strain thrives in both environments, displaying good resilience to pests and diseases. Plants can reach over 200cm when untrained but respond well to LST and topping techniques. Despite its unusual leaf structure, Freakshow responds to standard cultivation techniques and benefits from proper nutrient management and adequate drainage. The strain's unique morphology makes it an excellent conversation starter in any garden.
