During this grow I came upon quite a few scenarios that were all new, or difficult to zero-in on. Congo has been my biggest effort to date as well as the source of lots of new learnings.

Used again during the Flush to help clean things-up
Both played a big part in all my grows. Last dance for Rapid Start, moving to Fish Shit for now…
Called-in for a specific challenge; P & K deficiency in mid-flower and 3 days later there were results !

This light saved the day for the big tents contents. Instant, positive response from the plants
(Not involved with this grow) Why are these 150 Watts being added to this total. Mars was NOT INVOLVED

Jan 23rd On many levels this has been a tremendous grow, just for the experience alone. Classic genetics and all this has proven CONGO to be a TRULY beautiful LANDRACE strain of Cannabis. Even the hanging-tent has an ominous earthy floral smell to it. Handling this treasure with care. Without question I have to grow this strain again soon. This version was so hampered with height control at the beginning I cannot wait to see one go unrestricted outdoors ( or topped indoors ) It’s going to happen again *The power value for this grow is incorrect. The Mars Hydro did not play a role in this grow and the extra 150watts is not accurate. Jan 24, Natural Mystic has been dark & hanging for 9 days now and is not finished yet, which is great news! But I did snip a Nugget And the smoke took the top part of my Head-off for 20 - 25 minutes. Which was amazing !!! A beautiful little trip right where I was standing. Then, when things settled I shovelled snow for an hour. So the Natural Mystic has already lived-up to its name Reeferman Genetics. Nice Work ! Thanks for the Strain, this one goes outside this Summer !! Jan 25th - today began with snapping branches on day 10 of the Natural Mystic harvest. And I finished with 20% of the chopped branches n buds as finished Buds And is it ever an amazing Herb. Cure has begun in the jar, photos arrive later with a little daylight. 26th - Congo is just hanging, and she smells of moisture in the air today, which is great on day 4, out with that moisture. Tent Air-flow is positive, indirect and gentle. 18.5c and back to 50%rh - fan leaves stripped tonight, they have done their job - buds seem a little dry, on the brittle side. Tried a few branches, all bend quietly

Has the Male plant found a month ago, ruined the rest of the Tents plants? Since the Green Mountain Grape was found to be a male, the entire tent has gone into Pause, without Herms or other obvious signs showing up. The plant was removed immediately but the tent is lagging

hey there, looks like it's either an unstable genetics problem or that these simply take really really long in flower. cant imagine it being for a different reason

@sativaman, lmao, well here in the Peoples Republic of Ontario… legally you can have 4 plants on your property. (ps. No matter how many people in-house) Sending a message. Cheers & Thanks again.

@sativaman, excited that the clock is ticking. FYI I used two different styles, and I think I like the simplicity of the durban poison’s method; 1 less topping = 16 colas. I’d never carried either of them out till this side-by-side.

@sativaman, morning. This plants too healthy to pull the plug. No NannerS visible. Straight ahead

@1Right_Angle, I would believe that a few nanners by themselves have no impact on THC here. Well, not like if it is a significant part of the colas that are plain male flowers .. I think it affects THC when the plant gets pollinated so at this point she focus her energy on seeds. I wouldn't worry much about that being an issue: our friend Highroller had a seeded crop of his Congo but still was awesome smoke. Same for me.

I did not realised time was passing by and you were at week 8 since flip. No chance this is from removing a male. If you really are posting weekly updates this is not normal. Since start of flowering, I felt like your congo was unusual: with longer but not abundant white hairs and not showing promising colas as seen before. I would suggest you send an e-mail to ACE with details and pictures. Almost every grow I end up sending them a question, and they always respond, are very friendly, useful and upfront.

@sativaman, what a straight-arrow idea! I will let the source know of this Anomaly and open the doors to discussion (and reason) Pictures in an hour when lites go on, and I’ll post a few for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for taking the time and speaking out on this topic Brother. The concept of re-vegging is cool, glad it was a thought ha, but to what end if somethings gone sideways already.

Looking really healthy - your congo is so well behaved compared to mine, I can't wait to see how she develops!
1Right_Angle
1Right_Angle
@wrongleverkronk, that would be a fine situation for me; restricted airflow. There are little to none obstructions with this low-grow. Things are getting a little closer, with the grow beginning to go Vertical, but there is room galore. Taking a good LOOK TONIGHT, will keep you posted.
wrongleverkronk
wrongleverkronk
@1Right_Angle, I have used Plant Magic "Bio-silicon" in the past - I think it did help, but in later grows I also think it was the cause of pH issues - it has a very high pH so something to keep an eye on. I honestly think airflow is the best way to stronger branches, but often that's easier said than done!
1Right_Angle
1Right_Angle
@wrongleverkronk, Thanks for checking-in. I am looking at how narrow/frail/thin some of the branches are and I am checking into some Silicon-based branch strengtheners. I can't wait either, its just the long part of the cycle and I'm looking for problems. Good Luck at your end Growmie

Hallo friend, you removed the male at week #3 right? I should have thought you caught it early enough and I had a look at your green grape diary and counld't see any suggestion of open pollen sacs but I can't really think of reasons for it stalling? Can you see any seeds actually developing? I've had some seeded grows in the past (intentional and accidental!) and I was able to spot the swelling part of the plant which contained the seeds (is it the calyx? Biology lessons were a long time ago at this stage of my life). Also what are your night time temperatures like? I've had plants that were later in flower stall because of low night temps.

@1Right_Angle, Canadian eh? :) Well, you've covered all my ideas so I have no idea! Catching up with other comments I see you've already got some other good advice - I really hope you can sort it out, fingers crossed!
1Right_Angle
1Right_Angle
@wrongleverkronk, WLK thanks for the msg. No pollen was released that I knew of. It was still developing. No signs of seeds on the 3 plants in question Here in the “Peoples Republic of Ontario” I run my lights at Nite-time, so a really base average is 25-26 on the room. There are no Calyx’s in development at all. Plan is to change-up the meal plan, trying to boost metabolism. A K deficiency could be behind the Leaf damage and I’m lowering food pH and amending the soil to add some Nutrients. Getting rid of my CMH, today, for a sweet LED and we’ll see if some concentrated, cooler light has an impact in a weeks time Thats where I am right now Brother
