What is the Congo strain?
Congo is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Congo by Ace Seeds is a sativa-dominant cross of two Congolese strains, Bangi Congo x Congo #3 and Pakistan Chitral Kush. This delicious African hybrid combines the Bangi Congo which is a rare African landrace almost died out with fast flowering and small height, the Congo #3 which is another delicious Congolese with strong energetic high, and a bit of Chitral Indica to reduce flowering time. Almost exclusively sativa, this particular strain features just the right amount of indica to give a very well rounded high — inspiring and uplifting with a slow descent into mellowness. All of these attributes are topped off with flowery aromas, giving a delightful hint of strawberries.
The Congo strain by ACE Seeds has a rich history that spans several decades of selective breeding and experimental cultivation. It originates from a deep-rooted commitment to harnessing the naturally robust genetics of classic sativa strains, and it builds upon the legacy of traditional African landraces with a modern twist. Highly resilient to the cold, Congo makes a good combatant to environments were mold and mildew may be a factor. Flowering takes between 9-11 weeks. Preferring an outdoor growing environment she is not adverse to indoor SOG setup, were modest yields can still be achieved. THC levels tend to average around 15% with nugs that are a bright green and heavily dusted with bright trichomes.
