Congo- Grow Review

Just finished up growing Congo from Ace Seeds.

Let me begin at the ..... Beginning. Got a pack of 12 regular Congo seeds.

Set up was-
1x600w HPS
1x1000w HPS ( both lights 6" air cooled by 495 cfm inline)
7'x12' room ( left a lot of room to work)

Medium-
Strait Canna Coco.
3-5 gal pots

Nutrients-
Complete Canna line
Cal-mag+
Potassium Silicate

Environment-
Day time temp 78 high, usually around 73
Night time 60 low, usually around 65
Humidity 60 high 45 low.

Started off slow, but that was mainly me getting used to the canna nutes. Vegged for 6 weeks. 50% m/f ratio. They ranged from 2-3 feet.

Takes a long time to show signs of flowering. Took about 6weeks to start real nug development. 3 phenos were obvious.

Pheno 1- definantly had the most indica influence. Went a full 10 weeks. Extremely dense and a lot shorter than the other two. Bud was barrel shaped. With high bud to leaf ratio. Yielded 85g.

Pheno 2- a super sativa. Grew to be 5ft tall (2ft taller than #1) went over 12 weeks. Considerably more whispy than the other two phenos. Although it was set in the corner because its height. Did not check weight, pretty low tho.

Pheno 3- closer to pheno 1 than 2. I took it down at 10 weeks although it needed 11. Taller than 1 shorter than 2. Buds were spear shaped just a hair less dense than pheno #1. Had more trichomes than than the other two. Yielded 66g.

Smoke report-
1- my favorite for sure. Very outgoing pot, working weed. Smells citrusy and chemmy. Tastes exotic. Like you took a bite of Africa.

2- was not properly cured so its tough to say. Gave most away to a patient. Wasn't worth my time it was axed from the room.

3- very similar to 1 as far as high is concerned. Taste and smell was a hint more fruity. Wasn't as dense but a pleasure to smoke.

pictures???. Yes :D

Thanks Toke'a' - appreciate the report.

Was the high at all racy or paranoid? I love a motivational working weed but it often crosses over into the jittery, anxious side of things. Not a fan of anxious.

Thanks b8man,

The high was definantly more heady. Couldn't quite say racy. I have a problem with anxiety. I felt I could handle the high, not saying than its not trippy. But I feel it's the strain right in the middle, not too sleepy not too edgy.

Smoked some bowls while I golfed last week and it was a blast (plus I golfed better :D)

Had to roll a joint to double check :D

completely honest I would say a 8 out of 10. With 10 being the highest you could give a plant, it's hard to give any strain a 10. That being said this strain is very potent. That joint has sent me to space. In comparison to other strains grown same method same time. It was in the top 3 of 6 strains.

I was running next gen- dynamite, goo, kens Kush, blue bubba, wild Thailand, Pakistan valley.

It wasn't discarded just super tall. So it didn't get the love it should have. The smoke was ok, just not as noteworthy.

I love my Congo as really enjoy the clear, uplifting high. Everyone who tries it though doesn’t like it because it is very lacking in potency. A good choice of old school smokers who don’t like something too mindbending
