Red Congolese
Congolese X Mexican Sativa X Afghani
Over the past decade, few strains conquered the Bay Area like Gold Seal’s Red Congolese grown in the heart of San Francisco. With a cannabinoid profile reminiscent of South Africa’s wildest landrace genetics jumping out of the jar as soon as you crack it, it’s easy to understand why people looking for something with a bit more energy come in droves for the latest Red Congo drops. Part of what makes Red Congolese special is time. While so many producers continue to hunt down the fastest finishing phenotypes of cannabis possible in search of a quick buck, Red Congolese is aged to its full maturity and potential 12 weeks into flowering. Red Congolese took third place in the Solid BHO category at the 2019 Emerald Cup in collaboration with the Live Resin Project.
About this strain: Red Congolese
This 100% pure sativa strain won 3rd place in 2013 for overall best at the High Times’ Cannabis Cup. Red Congolese offers moderate THC levels (averaging 18% to 20%) and can deliver tingling, elated sensations.
Though the name evokes African origins, Red Congolese originated in California from a blend of Mexican and Afghan roots. Perhaps these global origins lend Red Congolese its decidedly earthy flavor profile. Red Congolese is sometimes mistaken for Congolese Red by SnowHigh Seeds, but the two strains are distinct.
