Congo#3 X Bangi haze

[Mountainkush]

This is the Congo#3 X Bangi haze from the R&D section on aces site. I was looking for something more Congo dominant and though this one would fit the bill.

Not much to see yet but I’ll try to update soon when I get more time to spend with them. It saves money but I hate growing over night. I don’t get much quality time with them.

First day in flower tent

Good luck with them MK bro.
I really enjoyed the girls I ran of these.

Thanks MountainKush Glad to see you have this new R+D Congolese cross already in flowering, very excited about it!

Glad you enjoyed this one Jayded

Thanks jayded, that’s always good to hear. Were they mostly uniform or was there a lot of variation between plants?

Thanks Dubi, I’m pretty excited about this one too. We can fast forward a couple weeks since I was really late posting these first pics.
We’re at 3 weeks of 11/13 in the tent
This girl went right into flower and looks like it’s going to make some nice colas.

Could of been topped more as it didn’t branch at all

 

[Jayded]

They were uniform in height with some more branchy and a couple more pole type plants MK.Smells were all citric,lime and some spice in all but 1 of the girls who had a sweet lime smell.
Once they were 4/5 weeks in flower they were aesthetically the best looking plants I've grown.

What is the Congo#3?



Isn't this the strain CBG used in the Congo x Chitral hybrid many years ago?

Not 100% sure as it’s been awhile since I looked into it but I do believe it was one of them. I’m sure Dubi can straighten that out for ya

Conchi was congo#3 x chitral they used pollen from this to pollinate banghi pigmy congo to make the congo hybrid.

Congo#3 is aka roberts creek.

First statement is correct, Congo #3 x PCK aka as 'Conchi' was worked by charlie garcia from CBG until F2-F3 generations to later pollinate Bangi Congo from Alex/Mano Negra and to produce very first release of ACE Congo 15 years ago.

Second statement is not correct. Congo #3 is a long flowering pure Congolese that came from another spanish grower, and it's not related with mano negra's congoleses neither with the Canadian roberts creek Congo as far as i know. The Canadian Congolese is a hybrid, that's for sure.

Thanks for confirming Dubi! I am sorry to have been mistaken but glad to be corrected. Are there pics of the congo#3 cut in veg/flower anywhere please?

6 weeks
Beautiful citrus smell coming from this one that leans towards something like a clementine or mandarin zest. Almost like a regular orange but slightly different.

2 of the 4 main colas

Excellent progress MountainKush! Love those long thin African sativa pistils and the way the colas are forming

 

[dubi]

Did you like the finished product of this new sativa cross MountainKush ? Not sure if she came to a good end.

Hi Bean,

I think i found some Congo #3 old pics from an old hard drive.

Not the best end but definitely could of been worse.
This one had some issues not related to the other plants in the tent and looking back at my last update I can see that it already started back then. You can see the top of the colas are a lighter lime green with the tips just starting to burn.

Tried a sample last week and it was pretty tasty. I’m getting some spicy, floral citrus note from this one so probably leans more to the Bangi side?

What kinda smell/taste does the Congo#3 mother have?

This was about 9 weeks I think

About 11 weeks and cut down a couple days later

Hi Mountainkush,

The flowers look great despite the leaves got a bit burnt.

Your plant has the very thin and long pure African sativa pistils from Congo #3, with more dense floral clusters from Bangi Haze, and hybrid vigor pushing up the yields, much higher than each parental plant.

Congo #3 has a woody, floral, musky terpene profile, slighly citrus, although citrus can also come from Bangi Haze side.

MK even despite the burned tips those are some very exotic looking flowers. Agree with Dubi those thin “sharp” looking bud leaves are super sexy. Nice stuff! I’ve got some Congo Fems that I got as a freebie on an order last year. I’ll have to go see what the differences is, those are gorgeous and look like they yield very well
