Beautiful Congo seedling StrongTree,
Glad to see you chose to explore Congo also for this round, thank you very much. Looking forward to follow its progresses and to know your opinion about how Congo strain compared with the other PCK hybrids (Violeta and Snow Moon) you have grown from us

Really beautiful Congo kickarse 
Looks very well developed, healthy, good yielding and not far from harvest. How are the resins and aromas at this point ?

Hi dubi, i had grow two congo's and they were weak potency due to all buds have tons of seeds because of male congo(i was kept it too long in flowering room) but i understood that she will be my favourite! energetic, motivated and clear headed! what can i expect more!
But there is something that worries me. while other strains healthy, why this happened ? what do u think ?
-by the way, new congos are coming ! (12 days from seeds)

Hi darqeds,
Heavily pollinated plants tend to lose their health much faster than non seeded plants (especially in the second half of flowering) due to the amount of energy and nutrients that the plant needs to address to its seed production. Well feeded and slightly pollinated plants usually finish the flowering much healthier.
Heavily pollinated plants also tend to lose potency and quality of terpenes because the cannabinoids and terpenes get degraded when the grower is forcing the plant to be overripe to be able to ripe as much seeds as possible.
Hope it helps and good luck with your Congo growing and breeding

Another beauty of yours StrongTree
Quite sativa dom structure development, to later show very desirable congo/paki balanced traits.
Glad you are about to experience this classic ACE strain. How are her aromas in late flowering ? Floral fruity bubblegum ?
spot on Dubi ... this one has the refreshing and invigorating smelling experience in late flower..i get the steam of jasmine tea blending with a gentle citrus aerosol...it's a fresh and clean,and bright odor
there is a hint of eucalyptus / tea tree / camphor etc...it seems to unify the floral / fruit and assist the terps in penetrating into the brain and brightening the spirit when deeply inhaled... seems too to induce "stoner face",smiles and creativity ....looking forward to this one...as always many thanks for your good works
Hi again dubi! Here are the Congo's (5 weeks at flowering)
I guess this one is PCK dominant
Another PCK dominant
And this one is almost pure Sativa, Congo dominant

And lastly, this one is CongoxCritical, i became a breeder!
Hi darqeds,
You are spot on on the different phenos
Since you are having a bit of N overfeeding and deficiencies in the main leaves at the same time,
i wonder: what's the ph and ec in your waterings and feedings ? What kind of nutrients are you using lately in flowering ?

Hi dubi, yep, bit of N overfeeding only PCK dominant phenos and the leaf that looks like a nitrogen deficiency is the leaf of the Congo dominant. it "looks like" because i realized that she started to drink too much water as the weather got warmer.. So, it was underwatered and as I have experienced from my old grows, the leaves have become weak because of the lack of water(i think).
By the way, i never check the ph but EC is 450 ppm~ and im using General Organics BioThrive Bloom(2ml)&Bio Bud(4ml)
Hi darqeds,
PCK and hybrids usually tolerate very well the drought. I highly recommend you to check the ph of your soil, waterings and feedings, you will know better what could be the problem and you will be much more accurate with the feeding schedule, your plants will be happier too

Hi dubi, i will buy a ph meter for next grow. Thanks your helping.. by the way, i have to say that a tremendous strain emerged from the combination of critical and congo! she took me to another universe for 3-4 hours even though she is 1-2 weeks away from the harvest! (i didn't take a puff from congo yet)
Hi, sorry I just noticed this comment. I know it was from last year but I have feminised seeds from 2017. Are they also F1's?Hi Passenger101,
Glad to see you are reversing your lovely Congo female to produce your own feminized seeds
Current Congo release is a F1, so if you self (S1) the female by itself it will produce the genetic variability of a F2, this means you will find in your S1 offspring very Congo african sativa leaning phenos, almost pure pakistani indica phenos, and combination inbetween like original Congo F1 release. Your seeds won't produce a uniform outcome at population level but should be fun and interesting to explore if you have the will and you really liked the female you are working with.
Please, keep us updated with your results. All the best.
Congo is great, I have grown it before. I am curious about different releases of Congo?
