About Old Congo
Tropical Seeds offers Old Congo as a true landrace-style full sativa, and the numbers back up exactly how demanding that heritage makes it: flowering stretches out twenty to twenty-four weeks, close to half a year, and the difficulty rating sits at difficult, not a plant for a first grow. Outdoors it can tower to 250-350cm, genuinely tree-sized, though outdoor yield tops out at a modest 150-300 grams per plant given how much energy goes into that height rather than density. Indoors, kept more controlled at 80-120cm, growers see 350-450 grams per square meter. The flavor makes the long wait worthwhile for the right grower: citrus, tropical, sweet, and fruity notes throughout. THC runs 17 to 19 percent. This is about as close to growing an unmodified equatorial landrace as it gets, patience required.
