Red Congo Strain Review
The Red Congo cannabis strain is a 100% Sativa with THC levels ranging between 18-19.5%. While its origins are still widely debated, most people argue that this marijuana variety descends from three classic strains, namely Afghani, Congolese, and Mexican sativa, with the greatest influence of the African Congolese.
Due to its high THC content and pure sativa genetics, the strain is recommended for daytime usage to relieve stress, tension, pain, and fatigue. Somehow, Red Congo Strain shows distinct traits of Indica with its bag appeal.
It comes with densely packed buds accompanied by fluffy leaves that are wrapped around them. This colorful palette of earthy-green hues and boldly flowing orange pistils look wonderful from the first sight, and the crystal-like layer of trichomes speaks of the strain’s potency.
Red Congo Strain doesn’t belong to the best smelling strains on the planet. It carries a distinct, pungent and earthy aroma that some users also consider cheesy or moldy.
While its fragrance is reserved for true connoisseurs, the way it tastes totally makes up for that. Some of its aromas may carry over, but it does so in a subtle way, further giving a back seat to a sweet and spicy blend with noticeable notes of grapefruit.
Being a 100% sativa strain, one thing Red Congo Strain can do is to deliver a powerful cerebral high. And with up to 19.5% of THC, you know it can hit you pretty hard. But unlike other Sativa strains on the market, this mental high is not a buzzing one.
At the onset, users often feel overwhelmed by that headrush, but the feeling gets suddenly melted by a soothing and focus-enhancing sensation that makes you feel uplifted and energized. Many people claim this strain feels as if someone was giggling their brain.
It’s a perfect choice for daytime use when you need the motivation to take on the daily tasks. Red Congo Strain is a great recreational strain, there’s no doubt about it.
But all the positive benefits of Red Congo Strain are also the source of relief for medical cannabis users. The strain proves helpful in treating an array of mental disorders, such as depression, PTSD, panic disorder, chronic stress, and anxiety, but it does a splendid job for people who are constantly fatigued.
When overused, the Red Congo strain can give you dry, itchy eyes, although dry mouth is a rare case as reported by the majority of users. It can, however, trigger dizziness, anxiety or make you feel slightly paranoid at high doses, but these symptoms can happen to anyone.
That being said, the best thing you can do is to make sure not to go too far with these resinous nuggets. Red Congo Strain takes around 10 to 11 weeks before it’s ready for harvest.
The strain can give a yield of 12 to 16 ounces per square meter in a controlled environment; when grown outdoors, the flowers should be ripe during the last days of October.
Effects:
focused, energetic, uplifted, euphoric, happy, tingly
May Relieve:
depression, fatigue, stress, pain, headaches

My favourite strain on this website. My love with Congo began when I bought in 2012-2013 from a lesser known site, a lesser known strain to myself I picked due to it high sativa content, and that plant was an excellently grown variation of Congo #8. I fell in love instantly with a new sativa in my lap.
I’ve tried Red Congo from GetKush for 2 times now so from 2 different batches and I was blown away both times.
Very fruity taste, very sativa high, so much you barely feel the stone or body high. The coffee of the weed world. Would highly recommend it.

So very close to being a complete package for me. Nice look and color. Love the smell. Love the taste. Love the smoke. Love the high.. except for that it is SO short lived. It’s over in 20 minutes (maybe 30 if I hit it hard) or less before I needed to return to the bong for more. Find a way to make this last, and you’ve got a winner here for sure!

Really nice smelling bud with a nice flavour on the exhale
Jeff Unrau (verified owner) –
This one is a special treat for me.
The aroma and smell is like fresh pine needles from a christmas tree – super strong! And those awesome red hairs are everywhere on the nugs.
Total head high for me – good high and long lasting.

A perfect daytime smoke. Allows me to get stuff done
Iwannasmokekush (verified owner) –
First time I got it I was really impressed and now that I got it a second time I don’t think I’ll be ordering this one again. First time it smelled really fresh and good now and it didn’t really compere the stuff I got the first time.

Fast delivery, product packaged well, this strain is great and relaxing. Satisfied customer, however for first-time customers who buy more than 1 item, a promo for two free items should be included.
Teah Marshall (verified owner) –
This strain is GREAT. Perfect nose, smells like a pure, fresh sativa (overpowering lemony citrus) a bit of pine as well. First off, the flower looks AMAZING. bright and darker tones of green with really thick dense red hairs all through out the bud. Very dense, very fresh. Grinds up perfectly and the flavor of this is like a glass of lemonade. Could smoke this all day, chooching on some right now on this brisk winter morning. Great stuff!
thatcore (verified owner) –
this was my favorite strain out of 6 i ordered. its a next level sativa great nose smoked so clean. great functional sativa no anxiety. i gave this a 5 praying next batch is as good!
David Chan (verified owner) –
way less frosty and not as red haired as last batch, much smaller nuggets, still decent smoke, price should have been slightly reduced.
Findanny (verified owner) –
Definitely one of my favorites. Great buzz.
Chriscasey007 (verified owner) –
The number one factor here is that this strain has a very low , if any , anxiety contributor. To be honest its the best I have ever felt after smoking a sativa strain, hands down. Only issue is they cant kept in stock. Happy smoking people.

Red Congo is the perfect strain for people who need to get things done. The high from this weed left me more sociable and motivated. Good taste and long lasting effects!

I have been using Red Congo as my day-time strain for quite some time now. However, I’ve noticed its not the same as the original Red Congo I first got. The initial one was rated AAAA and was more expensive. The current Red Congo has no rating. Still my preference but wished it was as good as it once was.

This batch wasn’t so good, kinda dry, no punch in the face, binging in the head. Hopefully this isn’t a regular occurrence, Red Congo is usaually always first choice when we’re ordering.

Very good Sativa strain, would order again!!

For the name and look I expected more. Maybe it’s because I am used to smoke INDICA strains I don’t know but the taste was ok and the buzz was ok. I purchased a 7g package and it came in in baggy sealed tight and flattened. At the same time, I purchased some Violator Kush 14g package and that came in a nice tube and I can honestly say the taste and buzz was maybe 2-3 times better. No offense to anyone… just my opinion and taste.

Amazing strain!!! Smell delicious and sweet. Once smoked it even tasted better. The high was long lasting and the effects were amazing. Truly glad i got it and cant wait to get again ?
shamrockgreeneyes (verified owner) –
It is something that does get you going and does what the sativa is supposed to do. I’ve been consuming marijuana for 48 years and my husband for 52 years and we think we are so saturated after all these years that we are going to have to find some super strain out there somewhere that might get us to where all the younger people are now. This is nice though…and if someone can recommend something for us old immune folks…we’d love to know 😀
joe383 (verified owner) –
je suis très surpris pour une sativa ,bud collante et compact ,et j adore le gout et l arriere gout
Hummm… acheté sans hésité
Csanderson (verified owner) –
This sativa is fantastic, it goes a long way and well worth the extra $. Perfect for a day smoke, enjoy your day off and get chores around the house done, or for sitting back and playing guitar with focus. Fast service as well from Get Kush, exactly 48 hours from placing order in B.C. To at my door in Ont.
xxxmysterioxxx (verified owner) –
By far the best Sativa strain I have ever had ! Relaxes, without incapacitating you. Breaks up easily and vapes well. I have noticed 50 percent more mileage when using Red Congo over other Sativa strains. Definitely worth spending a little more for better quality and value
Selectivesmoker (verified owner) –
First of all my reason for not having 5 stars is not because I wasnt happy with my product. For the price point (especially with the 4 oz bulk discount, you cant bday this deal anywhere. (I’ve literally checked every mom site.
Great strain great nose, great clean ash, great bud structure. The only time anyone will ever get a 5 star out of me is if it’s a AAAA++ OR 5A wich is next to impossible to find unless your playing 300 an oz.
I was very happy with this order.
Yeetisneet (verified owner) –
Best sativa strain I’ve tried so far. The trim job was impeccable, lots of kief to harvest from the flower. As for the buzz and taste, this thing has an interesting flavor and can easily get you too high if you’re not experienced enough with cannabis, but still has an incredible buzz that’ll make you productive for days!
