Congrats on the Congo! Sounds awesome. It's always intrigued me, as it's supposed to have a super high-quality sativa buzz. Good call on the milky trichs.

Right after first hit,yes only first hit,I feel electric in my veins,going up to my head,pressing on sides,making my eyes smaller,giving infinite energy and happiness.Wow,Congo is real fire! Buds smell incredibly berry/grapes and tropical with flowery details just like Ace Seeds talk about.I grew some other strains including "berry" in their name,none of them smelled berry.But this one is true berries,trust me.Calyxes are purple with a lot of trichomes on them which make it catchier.
It doesn't give me insomnia but it's definitely a day time smoke,because you need to enjoy it's happiness.Ladies and gentleman,this is not exaggerating,I FUCKING LOVE THIS STRAIN!
High is CLEAN,ENERGETIC AND POSITIVE.Taste is INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS,you get that tropical wild berries & grapes taste every time you hit the joint.Bullet-like buds are pretty compact for a sativa.
If you love exotic,beautiful looking,tasteful strains ; CONGO is exactly what you are searching for.It's powerful but clean,delicious but not regular and SATIVA BUT PURPLE !!!
Ace Seeds definitely created a masterpiece for marijuana industry.There is a little bit of Pakistan Chitral Kush in it as they say to keep the height and flowering period shorter.I think arome and colors are coming from that Chitral Kush.
But you know what? Congolese people know what they are doing π You can't get your ass up while getting chased by a lion on that wild lands,if you smoke indica .This smoke is really energetic and clean,no lions can get you when you are on it :)))
Beautiful,beautiful and beautiful.Masterpiece.Ace Seeds,thank you for making Congo.I think I'll only grow this one in my further grows.I'm a sativa guy .This is more original,better than any other hybrids and so called sativas on market.Congo has absolutely everything I want from a sativa.
Connoisseurs,this one is for you.Grow Congo or find some in your area.You won't regret,trust me :)

good all around nutrients.easy to use,some of them stink so bad.plants loved topmax.fishmix is a great nutrient as well.just don't use it alongside biogrow as it causes N overload.

Reviews. Lamp
Okay,I wanted to grow landrace strains in this grow.Made searches and decided on Ace Seeds Panama,Congo and Nepal Jam.Panama was male,fuck it.Nepalese Jam was the smallest one and gave me super soft buds with perfect sativa high.I love it too.But Congo...Congo was a big excitement for me from the day I found it on internet.Reviews were great,infos were suitable.I ordered it and put it into the final pot on September 12.It sprouted on 18th,a bit later than Panama and Nepal Jam but it grew too fast that Nepalese Jam was left much smaller comparing to it.
My plan was to keep them in veg for 6 weeks.At the end of the week 5,Congo was 60cm and I had to switch to 12/12 immediately.My tent height is 180 cm and I lose 40-50 cm because of HID lighting.I think that decision was correct because at the end of the grow,Congo was 110cm,only 20cm away from the light.
I FIMmed it at week 4 I guess(must check back veg pages),LST'ed it afterwards and SUPERCROPPED it in the first week of flowering.Right after supercropping,I noticed that plant had more sugary things on stems and leaves.Maybe just like others say,supercropping increases potency.Smoke is really,really perfect.Both,tasteful and heady.
Flowering period took almost 3 months,that's the most cruel part.But I don't care as it gives me arome and high I was looking for.
I should add some info for people who are looking forward to grow Congo :
Buy Congo seeds and start growing it.Thank me later :)
Growing is not easy.Actually,it can be pretty painful.It can be nute burn easily even if you give only 1ml per litre of base nutrients.A little bit overload of Nitrogene in veg phase causes leaf tip clawing.
Go easy with nutes.Congo can get over problems,it's a strong plant.Just don't overfeed it and let her grow the way it grows.She'll give you her love at the end.
Too much training can cause stress.My Congo gave me some seeds in some buds but I don't really care because high is GREAT.
This grow was an amazing experience for me.I love Congo and I think this is the strain that I will grow again and again
SATIVA = CONGO0

@sativaman, congo I grew in soil tasted better than congo grown in coco. What I understand of 2 grows is that ; organics + soil + minimum stress makes the Congo better.I have one more seed,every time I order seeds, one of them is always congo. I love that high and taste. You explained your experience which sounded very similar to this one but taste sounds different.Hope you confirm at the end. The area I used to live is hot and near sea so just like Ace says,congo would be great outdoors. I have a lot of seeds collected off this one though, I may plant some one day.

What type of smell are you noticing at this point? Any Lemon ?
Thanks for posting the Congo, it's a big help!

HighRoller909commented6 years ago
@VolcanoDigit, when you touch the main stem,you get a fresh smell mixed with mint and slight lemon.But buds smell completely fruity like grapes,berries etc. It has an amazing smell now,I don't know what it will look like after harvest.Buds all purple with a lot of trics on it and smells like a fruit garden.I think it's a must grow one.Wait for harvest and I'll post detailed review.There wasn't any diary of it though,hope this helps anyone looking for Congo.ur welcome :)

@Organic_LarF, I love landraces,I've been growing since I discovered.We used to smoke quality turkish landraces here years ago,now it's all gone.country has potential but laws are ridiculously strict. this makes landraces here to lose value worldwide. this is the main reason I'm looking for landraces but from other parts of the world,Africans please me well,Nepalese was good as well,some central americans,I love landraces. I'll definitely be looking in landrace team website. Unfortunately I'm not planning for a new grow.real life needs improvements. Thanks for the kind words and im looking forward to see your Congo's journal.

@HighRoller909,
Correct, im mistaking with the congo strain of the landrace team. Thats some 12 to 18 weeks of bloom.
The better for us its only 10 to 12 with this strain.
If youre intrested in landraces, certainly give the landrace team a visit. They got a lot of strains, all sorted by region or continent.
Im curious about your next grow.

@Organic_LarF, thanks a lot mate. Mine went 12 weeks,ACE says it takes 9-10 weeks. I think 11-12 weeks can be expected. I always chop at full milky trics. This Congo was milky as well. One thing you'll notice is the smell during flowering.Wild berries & grapes

Reapercommentedweek 144 years ago
hey thanks for the reply, so i can just keep the lucas formula at full strength (750ppm @0.5 conversion) and add 0.5ml/l then will be around 850 ppm, its just not enough with only the micro and bloom so i hope the buds will get more weight with the green sensation π©βππΌ

HighRoller909commented4 years ago
@Reaper, I believe it was green sensation which increased the taste and resin production.even the weakest looking bud has an incredibly stickiness.I trust in Plagron,they know their job,truly amazing products.their coco base is great as well.even the lowest branch's lowest side branch is longer than me at the moment with panama.

@HighRoller909, thanks for the info, i just did a waterchange and did it, 750ppm base nute and then 0.5ml/l green sensation, now at 860, i harvested a crop 2 weeks ago and also did this (only 1 week with this booster) and just like you said INSANE resin in the bag its like sand everywhere, so thats becus of that product ?π everyone messaging me how nice it tastes and such now i know why its so expensive. this is pure GOLD OMG i love you π

@Reaper, it works wonders,really. puts some on the ppm,increasing it,that's why I add it last to my solution.My ppm was at about 1-1.2 last grow with autos,they loved it. Plagron says it contains enzymes,extra pk,flavor enhancers with a secret formula.but seriously increased weight a lot and resin production.its color is also very catchy,like Poison Ivy's formula :D

@1Right_Angle, muchas gracias for the words,again. I really appreciate because this weed was the diamond that came at the right time in my life. The change in my life was so in sync with this Congo. Yours will be great as well. Δ°n my shop here,i cant find weed as good as this congo... They had malawi last month and it was the cheapest on the list... Shame for community. There should be more people being aware of gems like this. And your red congolese wish is still on my list,if i find,i will send it ;)
