It's surely a great strain but I was not able to give her the correct treatment. A lot of deficiency appeared along the grow, first time trying coco + 100% organic was not easy for me and the yield and quality were clearly affected. None the less : - Still gave 120g of bud - Great taste and smell : berry/tropical/flowery/sweet syrup, hint of citrus here and there and it's only 2 week of curing. - Effect : mainly head high, not as active and euphoric as I was expecting but it still pretty cheers you up for the first 2 hours and then you feel relaxed and you can sleep well. - Was very resistant to my bad treatments. I can only imagine that with a great grow this strain would be insanely great.

It was an interesting grow despite the clear lack of success. I think coco + 100% organic nutrients require some skills. I surely acquired some along the way so it is what it is ;) . Thanks to all !

Any idea what's going on ? The plants kept growing (slower tho) but droopy leaves and yellowing/pale green. Some have spots, as you can see on pictures. Also some purple/reddish branches/ The constant (temperature/pH/airflow) are undercontrol. Thanks a lot !

Hello buddy,I grew one last year.I had almost same thing at some point.It's most likely lack of N a bit but don't worry about it as upper part of plants look pretty healthy.Parts closer to the light always seem darker.You can try increasing nitrogene a bit.When you switch to 12/12 or else,keep giving N at that ideal dose for a few weeks into flower.I see you are going organic.Nutrients you use may have calcium and magnesium but if not mix some calmag in to your feeding.This plant is so N sensitive.Even if you give the minimum amounts it can have that claw looking tips.I would just add something like Fish Mix(biobizz) but it's very powerful so add only a little.as for purple branches,it's all normal.Mine had it also.Nothing to worry about,it's genetics.End product of this strain is extraordinary.just switch to flower and see whats going on.cheers

Hey guys ! Any idea what type of deficiency it is ? The newer leaves are lime/pale green, spreading to the older leaves. So top to bottom. No spots, no rust. Thanks :) !

@CrokuDodu Hi there buddy if you can provide some calmag ph'd to 6 or thereabouts this will eleviate your plants need for magnesium and nitrogen. Ignoring deficiencies at this stage will only slow down the maturation of your buds

now that's fiiiree!! beautiful.tons of great buds.grow was great too,seriously.reading another congo review is exciting.I've got 1 more congo fem seed and tons of what I've got off of my buds,I just cant take risk of not germinating but that feminized one will surely find its place in next grow.Great work and great fruits,very well done mate.Same strain,same nutrients except composts and stuff,close reviews.I enjoyed this diary and hopefully you'll enjoy Congo. 🙌👊

@HighRoller909, Thank you for your comment, for helping and following thru this grow ! I hope you will pop that congo seed soon so I can follow another congo grow. Clearly an unique strain very different from the current hybrids (that I also enjoy). Keep up the good stuff :) ! Cheers mate !

@CrokuDodu,cool I got it! it's totally normal,slight fading from now on as it focuses on forming buds.Nitrogene is going slowly.Your plants have nice green color and look pretty good for this stage.no problem at all.

@HighRoller909, Hello and thank you for your message :) ! If you compare them to a few weeks back they are a lot less green than what they used to be. A light/lime/pale but almost fluorescent on some leaves, kinda hard to describe. More or less the same problem I had on my previous grow. But maybe it's no big deal or normal that they change their aspect... We'll see ! Thanks again
