Also known as: Red Congolese, Red Congo
Congolese Gold Strain Overview
Congolese Gold is a rare and sought-after sativa strain that traces its genetic lineage to African landrace origins, specifically from the Congo region. While some sources suggest it exists as a distinct strain bred by SnowHigh Seeds from Colombian Gold Santa Marta crossed with Black Congolese genetics, most available information relates to the closely related Red Congolese strain. This strain represents part of the important African cannabis heritage that has been preserved through selective breeding efforts, particularly in Spain during the 1990s. The strain embodies the classic characteristics of African sativas with tall, lanky growth patterns and energizing effects. As with many landrace-derived strains, there is some uncertainty about the exact genetic origins within Africa, as the name 'Congo' was often applied broadly to African imports during the cannabis trade expansion. The strain is valued by breeders for its genetic diversity and pure sativa characteristics, offering users an authentic representation of traditional African cannabis genetics that have been refined through generations of cultivation.

Congolese Gold Strain Growing Information
Congolese Gold is described as a mostly sativa strain suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. As typical with African sativa genetics, it likely has a longer flowering time of 90-120 days and can reach heights over 2 meters outdoors. The strain requires patience due to extended flowering periods but offers classic sativa-type tropical characteristics. Indoor cultivation may require height management due to the tall growth pattern typical of landrace sativas. The strain has never been available in feminized form from SnowHigh Seeds, suggesting it maintains traditional breeding characteristics. Growers should expect vigorous vegetative growth and may need to provide adequate support during flowering due to the airy, elongated bud structure typical of pure sativas.
