Welcome comrades in horticulture to week 12 of flower.
I don't have much to say about this week, the plants have got a bit more tatty and have actually developed some purple on a couple of leaves. A little bit of PCK influence?
They also appear to have finally given up on getting even taller - one or two colas specfically have been slowly but persistantly reaching for greater heights. That appears to have stopped now and these tips are fattening up. This coming week, feed will be reduced to 1ml/l, then down to pure, clean water.
Through the loupe, not a single amber trichome can be found - I think still they are mostly clear but it's hard to tell, I think I want a stronger loupe. I am not expecting many (if any!) amber trichomes given the strong congolese sativa influence so I am aiming for mostly cloudy. My plan as it stands is to harvest in two weeks - I hope this is long enough for them to finish properly, and at the back of my mind I'm quietly thinking they might benefit for another 2 weeks of flower for a total of 16 weeks. Time will tell!

Grow Questions
wrongleverkronkstarted grow question 3 years ago
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

@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?

@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 👍

@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

@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.

@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.

@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...

@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.

@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!
