Montuno 19-May-2020. King Congo is Congo Point Noire * South African Ciskei Highlands.

Montuno June 10, 2020. The King Congo (germinated around May 5), has far surpassed the Extreme Haze (T.S.Co.) that was born a week earlier, with which it shared a pot before its final transplant to mother soil. King Congo is Congo Point Noire * South African Ciskei Highlands.

Montuno The plant has already been transplanted to mother earth in its final place: "La Perrera," the outdoor "patio" of the kennel where I even have to vaccinate the puppies against parvo when I bring them home for the first time. Since that only happens every 5-10 years, I use it for growing in the meantime. It will be about 7 meters long and 2 meters wide. I have dug three deep holes there, and the soil has been enriched with horse manure (mostly), sheep, and goat manure, as well as a little bit of insectivorous bat guano from the local caves. In the photo from June 14, 2020, the recently transplanted King Congo. And in the one from June 17, the King Congo (born the first week of May) has already shown that it is female, at just a month and a half old, and showing up to three stigmas per pre-flower.

Montuno July 16 to 18, 2020: The King Congo (born the first week of May) is already around 2 meters tall and I have started to bend it towards the ground.
