Super Congo

[OZZ_]

I've seen the claw at the leaf tip. I've seen what some refer to as taco leaf - I think that's heat related though and I've seen burnt tips.
I'll have to watch for this one in the garden though. Would you say it's genetic or just one of the many ways plants show stress - the curling we're seeing here, not clawing?

Well, others may have different experiences than mine and I hope they feel free to chime in if they do in the name of learning. That said, tacoing with the leaf edges curling up is for sure most commonly caused by heat stress.

Burnt tips = too high overall EC

Traditional clawing = too much nitrogen / nitrogen toxicity.

In this case, those specific lower leaves have an overly dark appearance which I associate with as excess nitrogen. Additionally the leaf curl is down…. This reads to me as excess nitrogen and since I’m familiar with this specific plant I know she reacts this way at 1.4 EC in veg…. As mentioned last time it appeared as conventional clawing.

TBH I have never seen this specifically listed in any book or online as nitrogen toxicity…. I’m coming to this conclusion because of those reasons mentioned above and plus…. It just “looks” like too much N.

Hope that makes sense. Also point to note is all the foliage higher up is fine now that she’s been flipped into flowering, and I know this plant to behave that way as well. I’ll probably just pluck those few lower leaves off so I don’t have to look at them anymore

Great legs and branching @OZZ_

My Super Congo is the real beauty in the tent! Well, on par with the Zamaldelica...
Flowering day 28 (after flip)

 

[Common Sense]

She is the most stretchy of the four by far. Long legs

I took my girl at 70 days, fully cloudy. Here’s a shot of a 10 day dried sample. The smell and taste both are something that reminds me of the peel/rind of some kind of fruit, not citrus at all, but more evergreen and sweet, no pine…complex. The high is what I love to call a stupid high, as in I went in the kitchen to do something, and did three other things before I remembered why I originally went in there. And kind of just blankly looking at nothing in particular. To sum it up, I really love this weed and will grow it again soon.

Thanks a lot for joinning us @Common Sense with your lovely female in early flowering She has attitude!

Bud looks juicy African @MrHamilton Hope the effects improves with the curing from the stupid high heheheheh

Awesome! Great work!

Mine is totally the opposite. Very clear, very focused, very energetic.

Súper Congo #1 at day 16 11/13

 

[Common Sense]

Mine looks very similar in mid flowering
Some pistils are prematurely browning. Possible pollination from somewhere, I may not have caught the New Caledonia male in time, we'll see.

it's going to be great to follow the flowering of your 2 grows at same stage of development
@Common Sense don't force her with higher levels of nitrogen.

Yeah, absolutely! I mixed the soil a little hot. Have been giving only water lately, with a little CalMag.

Sorry for the delayed response...
My nephew recently moved back in, my mom came for a visit and my gf has a couple friends over.
All of this happened in like a month with very short notice. My mom gave me 4 days and the gfs friends came a day after my mom left.
I'm an introvert so this doesn't work for me.

Anyways, thanks for the detailed response. I'm new to this and am trying to learn the craft so all the input I can get is great!

The plants I have going right now are sad. The weather is confusing them (one especially) and I didn't feed them on time so they got a bit sad. It already looks like two are hungry again. They are still seedlings imo, maybe early veg - like 5 nodes, I think.... I haven't counted lol.

Well, unfortunately I have had a major mishap with the light timer. Must have accidentally pressed down some pins which caused additional 3.5 hours of light during night time. Did not notice it until severe revegging was apparant during week 7 after switch. Corrected it yesterday, but of course that put everything severely off track. I spare you the pictures, the tops don't even look like cannabis any more.

That’s a bummer! I just had an outlet get loose around the prongs that was letting my small tent cycle on and off randomly as it dropped and remade connection. Sent my last Zamaldelica x KaliChina plant into full blown hermie on me.

Hopefully yours turn back around, flower hard and do well for you.

 

[Common Sense]

Bummer, too, even worse. Gender confusion ist my main concerns as well, especially with the New Caledonia in the tent. It ist also getting pretty crowded now with the additional vegetative growth of 4 plants in the small tent. I hope the Kali China will at least finish in a timely manner to make room for the others.
On a positive note, with a few additional yellow stickers, all fungus gnats are gone now. They were not that many anyway.
The clones I took of the KC and the Zamaldelica very late 33 days after flip are doing really well. Judging simply from the smell and very Compact growth, the Zamaldelica could be a keeper

I have a lot of different strains floating around so I sometimes forget to get into certain jars. I’ve been staying out of my Super Congo for some reason but this morning got into again.

Absolutely positive, uplifting and motivating smoke. I forgot how much I love this stuff and need to work another run of it into the schedule as I’m just about out of it.

That's exactly the position I am trying to get into.

It’s definitely nice never having to go to the dispensary.
