Red Congolese Strain

Red Congolese Strain is an incredibly popular pure Sativa strain of cannabis. The original breeder of this strain is unknown, but the strain has exploded in availability and popularity in recent years. This strain is a cross between some Afghani Landrace, a Mexican Sativa, and Congolese. Most notable about this flower is that it took home the 3rd Place prize at High Times’ Cannabis Cup in 2013, cementing its popularity in cannabis history.

This sativa landrace comes with wondrous effects. Users love its bold cerebral buzz and its euphoric and energetic high. Red Congolese’s mood-enhancing capabilities make it a top option for stress-relief or for addressing depression or fatigue-related symptoms. Users also  say that it sets them up nicely for the day by boosting their mood and energy levels. The good news for people in a hurry is that Red Congolese’s effects are fast-acting. The high tends to peak within the first couple of hours. However, some users say its effects can last up to four or five hours.

Red Congolese is most often used by smokers in the morning or during the day. In fact, many report this strain being their go-to wake-and-bake strain, as its effects are incredibly beneficial to getting your day started. Lab tests from this strain have often reported the THC level falling between 18-23%. This, coupled with its potent effects, makes this strain great for medical and recreational cannabis users. Red Congolese is more likely to induce anxiousness if consumed improperly rather than cause dry eyes or mouth. Dizziness and paranoia have also been reported as ill side-effects. 

Appearance, Flavors and Aroma  Of Red Congolese

Appearance

Although it has an indica like appearance, it still has the physical look of a classic Sativa strain. The bright mint green colour decorates the bud with orange and deep red hues. Thick off-white layered trichomes also cover it. There are also some solid, neatly trimmed extra flowers that add to the beautiful design of this bud. The nug leaves a sticky, greasy residue on your fingers which indicates freshness. It’s hard to miss the thick fresh look of Red Congolese once you see it. 

Flavors

As for how it tastes, it is a good thing that Red Congolese scores a higher mark in this department. Some of its fragrance does carry over but in a subtle way, and this is further drowned by a sweet and spicy hint blended with a distinct tone of grapefruit. For sure, it tastes better than it smells.

Aroma

Let’s just say that the Red Congolese strain isn’t the most beautifully fragrant of cannabis strains out there. Its strong, pungent, earthy smell has been likened to strong-smelling cheese. There are also hints of nuts, but Red Congoles’s pungent cheesy odor mostly overpowers this subtle scent.
