African Bliss
Also known as: African Bliss OG, African Bliss Kush
African Bliss Strain Overview
African Bliss is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from African landrace varieties with modern Western cultivars. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, with different breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2000s as part of a broader interest in preserving and hybridizing African cannabis genetics. The strain represents a bridge between traditional African cannabis varieties and contemporary breeding practices, aiming to capture the unique characteristics of African sativas while adding the potency and structure of modern hybrids.
Visually, African Bliss typically produces medium to large-sized plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that display a vibrant green color often accented with purple and orange pistils. The flowers are usually dense and resinous, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile reflects its diverse heritage, combining earthy, spicy notes characteristic of African landraces with sweeter, fruitier undertones from its hybrid parentage.
African Bliss is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among connoisseurs interested in landrace genetics and those seeking a well-rounded experience that doesn't lean too heavily toward either extreme sedation or stimulation. While not as widely available as some commercial hybrids, African Bliss maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities.

African Bliss Strain Growing Information
African Bliss is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though it prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when cultivated outside. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height and improve light penetration. African Bliss is relatively resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation and humidity control during flowering.
