Congo Black - Shamrock - July 2019
I've been a fan of Congolese since first trying it back in 2012. I have a couple jars of legit Robert's Creek Congo in the back of my weed cabinet for special occasions and I'm always on the look out for it. Red Congo is nice and very similar to real Congolese, but the real thing is something else. This looked promising so I took a chance on it.
I have my doubts that this is Congolese. Maybe a cross with few Congolese traits that came through, but it's nothing at all like Congo. Bud structure is totally different from any Congolese I've ever had and it does not have that unique Congo smell (which Red Congo replicates quite well). If you've ever smelled a bag of Congolese or Red Congo you know what I'm talking about. Potency is also disappointing and nowhere near any real Congo I've had.
This is still a decent daytime sativa and for the price not a bad value. But if you're looking for real Congo, look elsewhere.
