Hola Montuno!
Compre esta variedad pensando que como minimo recibiria una repro de la genetica que se robo Arjan de Congo y muy errado no estaba, simplemente me equivoque de pirata
Este variedad es un cuento de piratas. Primero los biopiratas alemanes disfrazados de doctores rubios de ojos celestes de este banco: https://www.ipk-gatersleben.de/en/genebank/ se llevaron la genetica de Congo y alguien les hizo a los alemanes "La Gran Gatersleben" y les piratearon la genetica en España y como ladron que le roba a otro ladron tiene 100 años de perdón, le tenemos que agradecer a Ngakpa por vender genetica emputecida a modicos 4 euros la semilla
Si puedo comentar algo al respecto, es que los precios a los que se estan vendiendo las geneticas landraces son autenticos disparates. A quien culpar del emputecimiento de los machos no lo se, pueden ser los doctores alemanes o el reproductor español

Las hembras son interesantes se estiran un poco mas de x7 y los machos que me han tocado salieron travas a los 10 dias de mostrar sexo

A las 3 hembras que tengo las cruce con los machos THH3 de la repro de Xiskito y las estoy clonando. La idea es cruzarlas con los machos haze que vengan mas adelante
Feliz semana!

The Real Seeds Company saids their Congolese is a "Spanish Congo", too...

A little more of Afro-Spanish culture...:

I mean that it is similar to the expressions from ttsc and ace hybrids of congo3, Zaire banghi and pointe noir. For me these plants were not only elusive but a long obsession.

They really do look and smell the part, very similar to the elusive spanish congos. Very impressed so far and cant wait to try them at some point next year, i would like to see them run again in the mean time.

Well, this year I am lucky enough to have a Spanish Congo beast...

No, I didn't mean you, Serge... My Spanish Congo is bigger than you (2'75)...

It is funny how the translator twistes some words. Basically the idea is well translated, just a few syntax errors, much better than translators from not so long ago.
It missed just a couple words like puto which means faggot and emputecido would mean faggotized and has nothing to do with embittered nor stubborness
And trava is despective for travestite, wtf@ naughty
So this is the "naughty" male, both of them showed their naughtiness in 10 days

@romanoweed
You can see at this page that this researching institute and supposed non for profit organization provides the delivery of genetic resources which is done with fees: https://gbis.ipk-gatersleben.de/gbis2i/faces/index.jsf
Please show me the royalty receipts and the agreement of the government of Congo for allowing these smart german researchers to provide the national heritage and natural resources of Congo and many other countries for a fee, they are not doing it for Jesus nor for science or philantropy, this is done for the love of making money and the love of riping poor third world countries out of their national biodiversity heritage

The imported chinese fish you eat in Romania is rampant biopiracy. It is not obtained in international waters but in territorial waters affecting the livelihood of the local fisherman. The bottled drinking water you have in India is also biopirated and we can go on
One thing is a traveller collecting a few seed and growing them at home for hobby and another thing is a huge institution full of biopirats with diplomas dedicated to the research of how to make money with heirlooms biopirated from their land of origin depriving locals farmers of exporting commercial opportunities and condemning them to poverty forever

there is no reason to disbeleve you that this genebak is piracy.

But i just doubt it. I have heard some organisations do deliver old genetics in small quantities in effort to preserve them. Local farmers can even get the possibility to grow old gold / in echange for the institute beeing ale to observate wich of the Seedstock was any good.
So, they can find out that way wich seeds have to be kept. It sounded pretty much like that. I cant show you proove tho.

Hola Hempy McNoodle.

I believe that BenAnn v.2.0 only refers to landraces from the two Congolese republics, which have been cultivated, reproduced and selected in Spain:

Like an example, here Mustafunk shows his one:

(But I think I remember seeing much more spectacular Mustafunk's photos of a large purple-blackish plant in a greenhouse...(?) :

Purple Congolese:
I want to share some pictures of an interesting Congolese line we are trying to preserve. It came from smuggled weed from northern Spain fishermen, back in the days. A friend I've met this year, veteran grower and smoker from northern Spain, has been growing and reproducing the strain as is. Also some other interesting stuff like a Mexican strain. Mad respect to this unknown grower for taking the time to preserve those strains and passing the legacy to the next generation.

After having watched a few pictures and hearing some information and stories about it, this strain really got my attention. I've trying to find a nice heirloom Congolese for years and when I wasn't even expecting it, I discover this beauty.

It's definitely a pure tropical african, as the harvest is around November or even December sometimes and depending on weather and phenotypes, so I definitely think it's an untamed african landrace. It grows strong, this plants were taken outside in September to avoid large sizes so you can get an idea about the vigor they have.

Last but not least, the strain has plenty of gorgeus colours outside, when the temperatures come down. Its such a beautiful strain I'm yet to explore thoroughly but not very often you can see such colourful landraces, especially from Africa. Makes me wonder about the red/black blooded african lines coming in to Brazil and even Caribbean regions back in the days.

Some pictures from this season's seedrun. Male was firm in sex and besides the rainy autumn/winter, they ended like champs!

Thanks for the explanation. I was under the impression that a (German?) team of botanists collected them straight from Congo. I wonder how they would do outdoors around here (San Francisco Bay area).

i saw a video with francos congo in Swiss Indoorenviroment. They made measurements . So, i rather dont think Germans (neighbour of Switerland) grow the pure Congo outdoors. Medical Cannabis has just started in Germany, i dont think they do any Acclimatisation projects.

They most likely search for medical Aspects , and preserve them.

Regardless of how they came to me i very much enjoyed having them around, one of them #3.. funnily enough has developed what could be described as a fruity smell at finish.

3 TRSC Congo girls at 54 days on 11/13,

Bean, how many days took your plants to be ready?

Looking good funkyhorse :yes:

Don't know if any of you read the book from Chris Duvall Cannabis, but in his book he describes the history of African Cannabis.What is interesting that some slaves aparently succeeded to carry seeds with them from Africa (Congo, Angola) to Brasil and later on after a revolt in 1835, afro-Brazilians brought back seeds to Togo, Benin and Nigeria.Funny thing is also that by 1860 Cannabis grew wild in some parts of Brasil after deforestation of the area.

I have only run the rsc congo from cut and all seem to be done by 16weeks, havent brought any down yet but they all look done. Some were definatly quicker and started to swell and looks almost there from 12.
