Congo Haze
Also known as: Red Congolese x Neville's Haze
What is the Congo Haze strain?
Congo Haze is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its cerebral effects and citrus and haze flavor profile.
Congo Haze is a predominantly sativa cannabis strain developed by crossing two legendary genetics: Red Congolese (also known as Reeferman's John Sinclair) and Neville's Haze. Originally bred in Amsterdam, this strain emerged from the underground cannabis scene and gained recognition at the 2007 High Times Cannabis Cup, where its parent strain Red Congolese placed fourth in coffeeshop categories. The strain was later refined and distributed by multiple seed companies including Kiwi Seeds and Dampkring Seed Bank. Congo Haze represents a fusion of African landrace genetics through Red Congolese (derived from Congolese Sativa crossed with Mexican and Afghani genetics) and the renowned Dutch breeding achievement of Neville's Haze. This genetic combination produces tall, stretchy plants characteristic of pure sativas, with dense trichome coverage creating extremely resinous buds. The strain exhibits the classic haze structure with long, slender leaves and can reach heights of 120-150cm indoors. Congo Haze is particularly noted for its intense, sweet haze aroma that develops early in flowering and intensifies throughout the growth cycle, producing what growers describe as a 'hazey sweet' fragrance that reflects both parent strains.
