Red Congolese

hybrid

Red Congolese is a pure sativa strain recognized for its 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup placement and a lineage blending Mexican and Afghan genetics.

About Red Congolese

Despite its name, Red Congolese originated in California rather than Africa. This pure sativa typically tests between 18% and 20% THC. Users report an experience characterized by tingling, elated sensations that can transition into focused creativity. Its flavor profile is noted for earthy spice, bright citrus, and crisp apple. It is important to distinguish this strain from Congolese Red, a separate variety by SnowHigh Seeds, with which it is frequently confused.

Plant characteristics

Red Congolese is a tall plant that can reach heights of up to 6 feet. It features a longer flowering cycle than many other varieties, typically requiring 10 to 11 weeks to reach maturity.
