Gambia
Also known as: Gambian Landrace
Gambia Strain Overview
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.

Gambia Strain Growing Information
Gambia can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 102 days (14-15 weeks). The strain requires experienced cultivation due to its landrace nature. Plants have a vegetative stage of 12-14 weeks with medium internodal spaces and stems showing scarlet and purple colors. The regional harvest occurs in July in their place of origin. For optimal cultivation, indoor humidity should be maintained around 50-60% to improve resin production by up to 20%. The strain requires hot, dry climates similar to its African origins. Plants can reach heights of up to 2 metres or more in natural outdoor environments, making height management important for indoor growing. This strain is recommended for experienced growers due to its long flowering period and specific environmental requirements.
