Ciskei release

Anyone grown them since? I've got a few of the Tropical Seeds version of Ciskei, the things I've read about the high really make me want to try it - but I have a few other strains vying for my immediate attention too.

I harvested my heavily pollinated indoor crop at between 7-10 weeks. If I were growing a seedless crop, I feel that it could have been harvested even sooner. My next crop is going to be seedless Ciskei. I will be harvesting at different stages to determine the best level of maturity for me.

Any one here have a smoke report on Ciskei? or cognition? or King congo?

Como adelantaba sobre las King Congo (Congo Point Noire * South African Ciskei Hihglands), tanto las tres hembras que he cultivado yo, como dos que le probé a un amigo, eran autenticas "keepers" y están entre las mejores sativas que he probado: por encima, incluso, de mi Zamalmystik 2020 ("feno Zamal Mafate'80") anteriormente comentada.

Este 2020 tuve dos King Congos: K.C. 2020 "feno Congo C.P."" y K.C. 2020 "feno Ciskei". La del 2017, podría definirla como " 3/4 o 2/3 Ciskei, y 1/4 o 1/3 Congo P.N"... Como hice con las anteriores plantas, las juzgare primero de la misma forma orientativa, para comentar más profundamente en otro mensaje, sus características, similitudes y desemejanzas...:

KING CONGO 2017 "feno 3/4 Ciskei y 1/4 Congo P.N." :

Efecto fuertemente cerebral-introspectivo-creativo, claro y limpio (más aún que la Zamalmystik 2020 "feno Zamal Mafate'80); con una parte alegre (sin llegar a eufórica), y ligeramente animosa, sin ser excitante. Alta potencia.

Sabor espectacular: zanahoria dulce/mandarina, bayas rojas/mosto de uva tinta.

POTENCIA PSICOACTIVA: 8'5
CALIDAD DE LA PSICOACTIVIDAD: 8'5
SABOR: 9'5


KING CONGO 2020 1° "feno Congo P.N." :

Efecto mixto y complejo: es principalmente cerebral, introspectivo y creativo, pero sin ser "sucio" sino "limpio", tiene una ligerisima parte psicodélica o " trippy", que esta totalmente ausente en las otras King Congos. También la parte alegre es mayor que en la K.C. 2017 (sin llegar a ser eufórica) pero menor que en la K.C. 2020 2° "feno Ciskei").También tiene una parte animosa, mayor que en la K.C. 2017, pero sin llegar a la excitación (menor que en la Zamalmystik 2020).

Sabor a zanahoria/bayas rojas/mosto de uvas tintas, con un ligero final entre maderas nobles/nuez/especias...

POTENCIA PSICOACTIVA: 8'5
CALIDAD DE LA PSICOACTIVIDAD: 8'5
SABOR: 7


KING CONGO 2020 2° "feno Ciskei" :

Efecto mitad cerebral-introspectivo-creativo, muy claro y muy limpio (más que todas las anteriores), mitad eufórico-motivante (la más alegre de todas, por tanto). Tiene un punto "sensual", ligeramente afrodisiaco, que me recuerda a la yohimbina...

Sabor espectacular: Zanahoria dulce/mandarina, y zumo de manzana/mosto de uvas blancas...

POTENCIA PSICOACTIVA: 7'5
CALIDAD DE LA PSICOACTIVIDAD: 9'5
SABOR: 9'5



As I said about the King Congos (Congo Point Noire * South African Ciskei Hihglands), the three females that I have grown myself, as well as two that I tested on a friend, were authentic "keepers" and are among the best sativas that I have tested: even above my Zamalmystik 2020 ("feno Zamal Mafate'80") previously mentioned.

This 2020 I had two King Congos: K.C. 2020 "feno Congo C.P." and K.C. 2020 "feno Ciskei". The 2017 one, I could define it as " 3/4 or 2/3 Ciskei, and 1/4 or 1/3 Congo P.N.".... As I did with the previous plants, I will judge them first in the same orientative way, to comment more deeply in another message, their characteristics, similarities and dissimilarities....:

KING CONGO 2017 "pheno 3/4 Ciskei and 1/4 Congo P.N." :

Strongly cerebral-introspective-creative effect, clear and clean (even more than the Zamalmystik 2020 "feno Zamal Mafate'80); with a cheerful part (without becoming euphoric), and slightly animated, without being exciting. High potency.

Spectacular taste: sweet carrot/mandarin, red berries/red grape juice.

PSYCHOACTIVE POWER: 8'5
QUALITY OF PSYCHOACTIVITY: 8'5
FLAVOR: 9'5


KING CONGO 2020 1° "pheno Congo P.N.". :

Mixed and complex effect: it is mainly cerebral, introspective and creative, but without being "dirty" but "clean", it has a slight psychedelic or "trippy" part, which is totally absent in the other King Congos. Also the cheerful part is higher than in the K.C. 2017 (without being euphoric) but lower than in the K.C. 2020 2° "feno Ciskei").It also has a lively part, higher than in the K.C. 2017, but without reaching the excitement (lower than in the Zamalmystik 2020).

Taste of carrot/red berries/red grape must, with a slight finish between noble wood/nut/spices...

PSYCHOACTIVE POWER: 8'5
PSYCHOACTIVE QUALITY: 8'5
FLAVOR: 7


KING CONGO 2020 2° "pheno Ciskei" :

Effect half cerebral-introspective-creative, very clear and very clean (more than all the previous ones), half euphoric-motivating (the most cheerful of all, therefore). It has a "sensual" point, slightly aphrodisiac, that reminds me of yohimbine...

Spectacular taste: sweet carrot/mandarin, and apple juice/white grape juice...

PSYCHOACTIVE POTENCY: 7'5
PSYCHOACTIVE QUALITY: 9'5
FLAVOR: 9'5

King Congo (Congo Point Noire * South African Ciskei Highlands) 2020 "feno Ciskei") buds, right now:

@need4weed I did. The plants have an indica-like compact growth pattern, quite uniform, the light green leafs are more of a NLD type and buds are a little airy. Finishes in week 9 after flip to 12/12. Taste and smell are a little sour, sweet and fruity. Very nice daytime high to get things done, uplifting, got me into a happy mood.

Never had her outdoors were she is supposed to shine, at least the Herbaria version did. I still have some seeds left and plan to do a repro in autumn, right along with Destroyer / Cannabiogen.

Need Bushmans Ciskei in me life... ape origin has a thing going on
Is it full on sativa effect in a 45 day indica plant ?
I really like the austrian bushmans cut aka herbaria ciskei. Indoor it's ~63d for me but i like to go all cloudy with amber and everything swollen. Moste people give her 8 weeks. From what i know from the swiss forum the ape origin takes longer, iirc up to 10 weeks.
Outdoors she is ready end of october @48N but needs some attention to not mold. If u check regular and cut moldy parts you can get a good harvest. If u don't the mold will spread and take close to everything.
I really like the energetic high she can give, when i overdo it i still wake up high but full of energy.
Some clone shops lable her at 10% thc what's correct imho.
She also makes a nice hash
