Classics & Kush

@sativaman, Congo is all jared up and curing - I normally say 4-week cure minimum.... Unfortunately I over-dried a bit because on my new dehumidifer, so it will take a bit longer to cure. I did try to sample a bit of it, but damn the taste was awful (chlorophyl) and it gave me a headache and felt a bit sick. It needs some time :)

@wrongleverkronk, lol what do you mean run out where is all your Congo gone!!!???? when I crave to sample my new harvest, I choose a few airy buds that I fully crumble and let it dry on a sheet of paper in a drawer

@sativaman, I ran out of weed 4 days ago so right now anything with a THC content is to my taste - but I am genuinely excited about growing these 'classic' or well-known strains

@homerjgangia, thanks! Feeling pretty confident with these girls after the trials of my last grow!

@wrongleverkronk, adelante!! que siga la fiesta!!🌲🌲👨‍🌾🌲🌲

@deFharo, thanks! It's been a lot of fun growing these strains and they smell fantastic.. Still, I'm looking forward to planting some of Ace's Tikal soon...

@wrongleverkronk, very good. Just keep an eye on them next four-five days and everything will be good. Keep the good grow. 👍👍👍

@SaKeZC, heh, every time I check the plants I think "I should bend that OG cola right over", but I just keep putting it off because it looks so pretty as it is.. Today I actually did it though and set the lights at 15cm from the top of the tallest colas. Hopefully the HST won't impact the OG's development too much..

@wrongleverkronk, Thanks for time to answer, mate. Yeap, I know tropic mix and it's a good medium to grow. Pretty strong though as you've said but it's good as no need to feed much

@@CDF20, hello mate - thanks! The substrate I use is called "Tropic mix" - I've used it for the last two grows. I don't think it's a big or well-known brand. It's actually 60/40 peat:coco - I had no idea I had entered it wrong on this diary, I'll see if I can fix that! It has added calcium/magnesium and is pH balanced to 6.5. They say is a "medium" strength compost but it's stronger than I expected. I've not read about using hydro/coco specific feeds for mixes with >50% coco but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the accepted wisdom. I would still give it a go with my current nutrients though because 1) I'm cheap and it's what I've got and 2) As long as there is a decent amount of peat & loam in the mix I think it should be okay. I have no reason to think this beyond my gut instinct (which is often wrong!)

@SaKeZC, thanks, I will do that!

@1Right_Angle, thank you friend - the same for you!

@wrongleverkronk,that’s always what I hear from critical strains 👌

@Only4passion, thanks! I've been impressed with the critical genetics, producing really well for little effort!

@@cannapassion, thank you my friend, to you also - your strawberry banana look very healthy!

@sativaman, you too my friend - hope 2022 brings you some fantastic harvets!

@sativaman, yes I think you are right! A few less branches now and some defoliation in a couple of weeks is my plan right now. I think 6 plants might have been a bit too ambitious, in the future i think 4 should be my max!

@HerbalEdu, thanks! It's been with me a while and I keep thinking about upgrading to a bigger tent but I like the stealth aspect of the 'drobe

@TrickOrTrip, thanks my friend - after struggles with my last grow this one is a bit of a confidence boost!
