Alright, here we are at week 4 of flower and trichomes are now starting to appear and the smell is starting to develop. The stretch is pretty much over now, which is great because I'm essentially out of vertical growing space. Any taller and I will probably need to start tying some of the taller branches down or maybe some HST would do the job. I think I might grow a nice compact indica next, just for a break from managing these tall buggers. Ambient temps and humidity have been high this week again and a dehumidifer has been ordered. I'm having trouble deciding if the top of the plants are showing signs of heat/light stress or nutrient deficiency. The new leaf tips are still slightly light green and ever so slightly crispy in places which makes me think nutrient burn. However, feed has only been 1ml/l bloom this week and some of the top leaves have started developing light green patches (pictured) which makes me lean towards light stress. Maybe it's a bit of mix of both. No trimming of leaves this week, but I am now considering having a fairly aggressive trim of foliage above the screen to improve airflow, reduce humidity (fewer leaves, less transpiration) and improve light penetration to all the bud sites. There are some areas of the screen which have many colas all bunched up, blocking each other from the light and creating a high humidity micro-climate which I am a bit concerned about, but apparently Congo does have high resistance against mildew etcs so fingers crossed. Overall, things are looking good.

I have these two plants just sexed after 1 week of flower. I was going to go back to 18/6 tonight for another week or two veg to fill the screen more. Is this a good idea? Or should I just continuing flowering? Strain is ACE's Congo. Thanks!

I’d just keep it as is.. I’m not a fan of unnecessary stress like revegging personally. It looks filled out decently and you’re still gonna have some significant stretch

@wrongleverkronk, Very similar from here as well!! Get a lottery ticket!!

wrongleverkronkcommented3 years ago
@sativaman, nope they are grown from regular seed - bought 5, recieved 6, planted 5, got 3 males and these two girls. These two are virtually identical to my eye so far though for what it's worth..

amazing view beautiful colas wow never seen congo like this. regular seeds are apparently different from feminized ones. looks like a more clear congolese sativa expression. almost no pakistan chitral characteristics visually. they say congolese parents tend to flower much longer so I can guess this is a beautiful true congolese sativa experience for you. lovely.whatever you do,this strain always have leaf tip clawing,hates nitrogen,can't process it well,growing is harder than most other strains there is always a problem but end product is brilliant. how's the fragrance on these ones?

wrongleverkronkcommented3 years ago
@HighRoller909, sounds like I'm getting exactly what I wanted, it's just gonna take longer than I'd hoped.. I dream of the day I have enough space to use an entire room for growing - until then though, I will continue trying to grow impractical sativas in a wardrobe! Cheers friend, I appreciate the info 👍
HighRoller909
HighRoller909commented3 years ago
@wrongleverkronk, normally it doesnt stretch a lot if it has considerable amount of PCK(paki) in it but yours look much different than that,like how ace describes that rare congolese sativa.in my experience,panama stretched a lot and it was feminized,will most likely stretch more than this.i know tikal stretches good too.if there is no stealth restrictions,i would advise to grow these sativas in an open room without tent.another indication of a true congolese sativa pheno is that it smells like how you said,like earth and wood with sweet notes.my fem congos smelled like grapes and sweet berries because of paki chitral kush influence.you'll love the high.i think you have 6 more weeks and will have a great electric buzz at the end

wrongleverkronkcommented3 years ago
@HighRoller909, that is incredibly useful info - getting nutrients right has been confusing as heck for me, especially as I'm using a new compost mix and feed. I'll adjust their feed with this info in mind - thanks! I kept a clone of one of these girls so I can have another go with a lighter compost mix in the future. I was worried about my other ACE seeds that I have to try (Tikal, Panama) given the stretch of these congos was a bit daunting and I figured the other strains could be too much for my space.. but if my congo girls are examples of very stretchy congolese sativas I feel a bit better about it. I'm terrible at describing smells, but I would say it's earthy or woody but with a bit of sweetness to it. The smell has only really started to develop in the last week or two.

What about running a Meal of plain Water? Not a flush, just a good drink. Burp, proceed. Good Luck with this issue

wrongleverkronkcommented3 years ago
@1Right_Angle, I think the problem is just this pheno hates nitrogen. I've changed my feed this week for one with less N so we'll see how they react!

What a nice way to start a day, looking at those lovely old school sativa buds. I would sample that right now! >>Hope you'll love it.
wrongleverkronk
wrongleverkronkcommented3 years ago
@sativaman, I can assure you the best way to start your day is with some of this run through your favorite vaporizer :) I really do love it, I've grown sativa-dominant hybrids before but this is my first exposure to what feels like a proper sativa. Those hybrids just don't compare...

Insane amount of colas =) ACE told that Bangi Congo can also be purple
wrongleverkronk
wrongleverkronkcommented3 years ago
@sativaman, and they're bloody massive too! Very airy like you'd expect for a sativa. I think a lot of the lower buds will end up being frozen for making hash at some point.

@sativaman, I'll take your word for it - I lack the experience to know much about the different phenos. I did have 1 plant which was taller but it turned out to be a male unfortunately!

Mate, put the lights down to 15-20cm max. from canopy to get those buds full and double the feed doze of nutrients. Happy grow. 🤜🤛🤝
wrongleverkronk
wrongleverkronkcommented3 years ago
@SaKeZC, hey mate - yeah I did spot signs of deficiencies on one or two lowest leaves on the Friday and upped their feed to 3ml/l bloom on the weekend. Lights are set at 18-20cm at this point when it's all sealed up - they did get a bit closer this week but I think I am seeing a bit of bleeching on the tallest colas. They seem to be doing alright though, fingers crossed!
