Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Sativa 100%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Red Congo

Red Congolese is a sativa strain that many enjoy for its boost in energy and mental focus. While the lineage is heavily debated, with some arguing that the strain is a combination of Mexican Sativa, Congolese and Afghani, while others argue it’s an African landrace strain, its uplifting high definitely isn’t. Red Congo offers the user a powerful cerebral high, a happy mindset, and an energized mental clarity that may induce giggles. This is a great choice to help boost feelings of motivation, increase productivity, and for those doing creative work. As negative thoughts melt away, Red Congo can also help eliminate fatigue, pain, stress and headaches. Densely packed green buds with vibrant burnt orange hairs covered in dewy trichomes carry the strain’s distinct earthy aroma and spicy, herbal taste with a hint of sweet citrus, which can be enjoyed anytime of the day
