Red Congo
Broad profile21 listed sources
Red Congo is an 80% sativa-dominant landrace cross of Congolese, Mexican Sativa, and Afghani genetics bred in 2003. Terpinolene-dominant with earthy, spicy, citrus, and pine notes, it delivers an energetic, creative, focused, and euphoric daytime high. A 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup winner, this strain suits mornings, social settings, and creative work, though its wide THC range (15-39%) calls for cautious dosing.
