John Sinclair
Also known as: Red Congolese
John Sinclair Strain Overview
John Sinclair is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain created by Reeferman Seeds as a renamed version of their Red Congolese strain in honor of John Sinclair, the radical writer and thinker from the 1960s. The strain was named after John Sinclair, who was the manager of the seminal Detroit rock band MC5 and founder of the White Panthers. This F-1 cross combines exceptional Congolese Sativa with a stable Mexican/Afghani hybrid, creating a potent landrace-influenced variety. The strain gained recognition when it appeared at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2007, where the Dampkring Coffeeshop entered John Sinclair (also known as Red Congolese) and it came in 4th place. This mostly sativa strain has a flowering time of approximately 74 days and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors.
