Red Congolese reviews

While its name implise African descent if you picked this up in American it is most likely Mexican×Afghani polinated by a Congolese male. I picked up an eighth from GoldSeal and was happy to find all the pure sativa effects I desired. Decent THCV levels. A very energetic strain.

First time I tried this I got massive anxiety, now its one of my FAVOURITES. If you allow it to do its thing, it is totally worth buying. This is definitely a psychedelic strain, music is enhanced you hear the layers, colors pop, put on some tribal psychill or similar and you'll feel like you are in the African Sahara. Definitely a strain with recreational potential but could be used medically in small doses

Want to try.... compared to be like a sativa version of purple kush.

Wonderfully enlightening and uplifting strain! Caused some wonderful conversations and creative insights. A strong "sativa" like effect, very up (and fun)!

Beautiful strain, lovely smell fruit and a bit pungent.Made me get the giggles

Red Congolese has everything I want in a daytime Sativa. Uplifting, positive and clear headed enough to stay productive. When you light it up you get a smooth earthy, woody taste and not an overly strong odor. You will be engulfed in a wonderful warm euphporic high that usually lasts about 1 hour and then settles into a nice positive warm glow that will last for hours. Your senses are heighted and you can think clearly to be still be very productive. This is by far my favourite daytime Sativa. I quite often use Jack Herer because you can find it almost everywhere, but my preference is Red Congo when I can track it down. I can't recommend this strain enough. A reliable and consistant strain that fits me like a well worn glove. An added bonus is that I don't get the munchies either.

The elusive "Red Congo"... by far my favourite strain to date. This strain hails from one of the most remote areas of the world, deep in the jungles of the Congo in Africa. The buds themselves look exotic with beautiful greens and red hairs. I scooped this up randomly on sale at a dispensary and have not been able to find it since. The perfect strain for social activities. Gives you lots of energy and keeps you focused and feeling good. I highly recommend taking a walk through the Congo, you will never want to leave.

There is absolutely no question that there are two very distinct varieties of Red Congo. It is not even an argument but rather a documented fact. I have submitted a photo of the African landrace variety. To be fair, there should be two completely unique categories for this name. You can't even put them in the same group, as they are so unique and unalike. Developed and grown to perfection this fair red lady was recently produced by temple of calyx, a Canadian consortium of master growers. As you can see, it clearly contains zero indica and is as true a sativa as it gets. The potency soars in this one, promising close to 30% thc. The scent, while deceptively familiar, is a true delicacy for the experienced connoisseur. The end flav is actually completely unlike the scent she gives off. This is no Mexican red hair, nor is it a bred result to achieve a specific trait; but rather an exotic sativa the likes of which many will never know as red Congo, as the more common variety can hardly be cross referenced with the African landrace for any other reason than perhaps fragrance. The good news is, this variety being so whispy and red, you would have a very hard time confusing one with the other. What I have noticed is, that most strains our southern USA friends have often appear to be the hybrid, sadly one of the key problems with a name is that it rarely tells us much about the strains true history and actual status in the world today. The African variety could easily be dismissed as a very average, typical mild sativa from yesteryear, but in fact, it is a gem that without knowing someone who's actually got the real deal, is often very rare to find. It reminds me of the memorable, blow your socks off sativas we found back in the early 80s when premium landrace still dominated the high end market. Look for this one at your favorite Canadian supplier. Most recently spotted in Van and Ontario, I was lucky enough to get some and cherish every puff.
