What is the Gambia strain?
Gambia is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Gambia is a pure sativa landrace strain from The Landrace Team, sourced from Gambia at 13° N latitude in February 1999. This 100% African sativa represents authentic genetics from West Africa, traditionally used for ganja (seedless) production. The strain was developed by The Landrace Team as part of the growing appreciation for landrace genetics, inspired by resilient genetic frameworks found in traditional sativa strains from Gambia and other parts of Africa. The plant produces round, large, and hard calyxes with moderate resin production, featuring fruity aromas with hints of peppermint and pepper. The underside of the leaves displays purple coloration, while both flavor and taste are woody and peppery with a touch of mint. Gambia is characterized as powerful, vigorous, and resistant, capable of reaching heights of up to 2 metres or more in natural outdoor environments during summer months. The strain has demonstrated remarkable adaptability and global appeal, making its mark in diverse regions including Gambia, Slovenia, Cambodia, and New Zealand, with growers reporting success rates exceeding 85% in terms of yield quality and consistency.
