Congo is ahead of others.Producing spear-like colas,smell is already there.It is what I had in my first run with it; grapes and tropic flowers.
A5 stretched a lot this week,just like Golden Tiger.Both are stretching at an incredible pace,I have to do maintenance every 3 days,raising the lights and tying branches to opposite direction.
Golden Tiger has too many bud sites that I think will grow very big.
A5 is taking her time apparently before fully focusing on buds.
Green Sensation is for Congo as it is already producing buds.Others are not getting it yet.
Congo's potassium hunger seemed to slowed down after I upped Cocos B for it.It might be because I gave too much sugar royal in the main part of stretch.Caused N abundance in it and Congo doesn't like it. But she has 14 finger leaves!!! growing 14th finger from the middle of the leaf.I think I have a photo but couldn't find.
Congo and A5 both are taking calmag at 1.5 ml/lt.
Less photos of Golden Tiger as it is stuck between A5,Congo and auto GSC and is covering almost all growing space.Sorry for that.
We are growing a forest here,dealing with sativas is a pleasure although it requires special attention for their size and needs.
See you next update
@sativaman, I recommend Congo to everyone because it is truly a beautiful strain with amazing smell,taste and high..Wild berries and grapes is what it smells like,high is very positive and euphoric.Next week is harvest for Congo,week 10 of flowering.Hands down it is the hardest one to grow out of all I've tried from ACE.
It doesn2t like N, then needs K, you give K then it has nute burn.But it is also a big fun to grow it.The room gets filled by a very tropic and perfume scent.
A5 and Tiger has at least a month,Tiger has even longer.To your question about A5,I'm typing it in your profile page.Check it out man.Thanks!
So how tall are they now? Very nice strains selection! This tiger is just just looking wild making your Congo looking like dwarf!! let me know if you have too much!
@sativaman,I don't measure the height but they were nearly 60cm when I flipped. After fixing the light to the uppest point in the room at week 11, they stopped stretching and directed their heads to the light.
(looking at sexy Tiger) hey mamacitta!!ππ
You are up for a lot fun! Bet in real time you already sampled them.. ha what a nice strains selection! That A5 by itself is a beast you sure did a great job keeping up with the feedings! Your Congo looks deliciously frosty! No red hue this time from the PCK? Buds looks dense and sticky like an Indica!
@HighRoller909, A grow room accident is every grower's nightmare: glad to here every thing is ok and damages got limited. First thoughts goes to Tiger and A5 who suffered from this accident!!! oh I can't wait to see the outcome!!! AND smoke report as well!!
have a great week!
@sativaman, thanks man,I appreciate good words.Congo is green this time , having the same smell and taste.But i think it doesn't like 11/13 schedule.it is somewhat fussy plant.Harvested 2 weeks ago.A5 is a beast indeed,eats well,grows big and produces a lot.Δ°t was harvested few days ago,an hour ago i put them in jars,filled 3 big ones and 4 middle size ones.im expecting at least 170g.High is seriously potent,i had audio hallucinations and was in a different world after scissor hash.looks like it is a good blend of haze and malawi,showing both characteristics.Tiger is wild and elegant.Δ° have samples from it,high is very uplifting and cerebral.and potent too.one hand holding a joint of it while typing this,eyes barely open.Put on weight in the last 4 weeks,there is gonna be a harvest this wednesday.Something tragic happened a few days ago.Lights fell on both while off,tiger and a5,the day i harvested A5.none of the branches were broken,freakin strong branching!
Very nice progress! Gotta show some love for the Golden Tiger!!! Congo looks stong and vigorous as well. Your A5 is different than what I have = might be Malawi-haze pheno! Have a good week!
A5 is well known to be nutes hungry. Wish I did not had the calcium deficiency at week 6-7 of flower for a perfect grow. I am suggesting you to keep the ppm high and use PK booster (when they start to swell up) along with CalMag supplement.
@HighRoller909, When I first saw sign of Cal deff I had to wait 'till next watering (I am in soil) so I wasted about 4 days. It greatly affected the sugar leaves. If you can give a little more right now in coco it might save your colas! Everyday I look at my A5 and feels bad for having her leaves fried... Best wishes for new year.
@sativaman, exactly! In week 5 of flowering,I noticed some leaves with calcium deficiency spots but they were only a few. Upped the calcium to what is indicated on the bottle as max level and no more signs,no worries. In coco,I see the effects of nutrients quicker. Current situation of A5 is more like an outdoor plant with extremely strong branches and I agree with you,I think I have a Malawi or Haze phenotype.Wait for the next week's update in a few days, you'll see how it got its true sativa look and characteristics in just a week.
Your A5 ended up so frosty very impressive plant. She is stunning! Those giant fist size tops is a great reward. Nice bulk up.
Same for your Tiger flowers are filling in impressively. This will sure make a nice stash!!
@Grey_Wolf, 1 year delay wow lol mate I have the Thai dominant pheno of Tiger ,now smoking , instant head pressure with too big smile on my face. But mine is not that 3rd version that you've got. Yours have different Thai landraces in it I think. Takes time to mature but if I managed to get ~300gr with 5 weeks of veg, you can easily get over a kilo outdoors
@HighRoller909, ACE seeds are finally able to send me the Golden tiger Thai Dominant limited edition regs I
paid for last year these will be super interesting specimens π
Once in a while I would need energetic weed. Not that often but it is nice to have a stim pack before going to an event. And you call this a "nice balance" πππππ. Yes! sativa is a life style π
Great grow all the way through. Appreciate how you took the time to review the effect.
@Med_in_Tropic, a weed this crazy,I would not want that often either. would be highly enjoyable on long summer days with friends doing only holiday affairs.I still prefer Congo style energetic high. I'll be looking forward to see your gt outdoors.
Thanks for all the kind words man,I appreciate truly. π
@CrokuDodu, already bending due to weight.Yesterday a very big branch of Killer A5 bent itself too hard that a unintended HST occured (the branch you can see in photo 5.The closest and tallest one).Inner muscles cracked and I heard it.I left it that way,harvest in 10 days.When I lifted it,it felt like a good 200gr,only the upper part of the branch.Let's see how it does until harvest time.
