What is the African Gas strain?
African Gas is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and chemical and citrus flavor profile.
African Gas is a transgressive hybrid cannabis strain developed by ACE Seeds through the cross of Bangi Haze (8th generation) and A5 Haze (Northern Lights #5/HazeA). This explosive strain combines equal parts sativa genetics from Haze and Congo with an overwhelming indica influence primarily from Northern Lights, creating what ACE Seeds describes as one of their most destructive and potent releases. The strain exhibits a 60% sativa to 40% indica ratio, resulting in a balanced but intense experience. African Gas is characterized by its distinctive gasoline-like aroma, which gives the strain its name, along with its powerful narcotic effects and high yields. The strain represents a unique fusion of African landrace genetics with modern breeding techniques, producing a plant with massive colas and exceptional resin production. ACE Seeds, founded in 2005, developed this strain as part of their mission to preserve and enhance rare cannabis genetics while creating new and powerful varieties.
