Red Congo

Overview of Red Congo Strain

Appearance

Red Congolese buds are covered with a light green color and red pistils that do not carry as much density to it as compared to others. The pistil flowers peek out from behind carefully trimmed sugar leaves, creating a nicely balanced flower-to-leaf ratio. The trichomes resemble bright droplets penetrating deep into the flower with clear icicle-like formations. 

Aroma

First, a bright citrus scent with a hint of spice greets you. Then, a deep earthy smell lingers, likely from its Afghan genetics. 

There are pleasant, familiar scents, but Green Bluff Greenhouse's cultivation techniques and improved genetics have elevated these aromas.  

Flavor Profile

Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in Red Congo, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Red Congo has a rich flavor that mixes sweet and spicy tastes. It features earthy, woody, and citrus flavors, often with touches of pine and tropical fruit. The strain starts with a smooth, sweet taste similar to ripe fruit and finishes with a spicy hint. 

Genetic Background

Red Congolese is a Sativa strain celebrated for enhancing energy and mental clarity. Its origins are a topic of debate; some believe it is a hybrid of Mexican Sativa, Congolese, and Afghani strains, while others claim it is an African landrace strain. Regardless of lineage, the strain is universally appreciated for its uplifting effects.
