Red Congolese Autoflower
Red Congolese Autoflower strain is every grower’s dream. It is an easy to grow plant full of tantalizing flavors and an energy charged stoning experience. This remarkable strain descends from a mix of Afghani, a Mexican Landrace Sativa and Congolese genetics. The original Red Congolese was bred with resilient ruderalis genetics to create the Red congolese autoflower.
Thanks to this robust lineage, Red Congolese Auto is not new to cannabis awards. In 2013, it secured a 3rd place finish during the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup.
Red Congolese Auto’s THC is of great strength around, newbie stoners beware. This strain’s 18% potency humbles an experienced enthusiast in just a few puffs. And with low CBD content, its THC acts unaltered.
As for its genetic balance, Red Congolese Auto comes from a Sativa background. This strain is a 100% Sativa dominant hybrid with zero Indica and is a pure landrace cannabis strain.
And just like its name dictates, your Red Congolese Autoflowering buds will have a fiery red allure to them. Their dark green leaves build the right background for the buds to shine. The heavy blanket of trichomes are not just visually striking but mouthwatering for hash lovers.

Tips to Get the Best Out of Red Congolese Autoflower
Red Congolese autoflower genetics and sativa dominance stand out as the best candidates to guide the fine tuning of your growing adventure. Here are strategies that will increase its yield in quality and quantity.
Managing Sativa Height in Indoor Growing Setups
Well, as already stated here, this strain boasts of a medium height. However, You may need additional techniques to manage its stature better especially if your setup is limited to a smaller space.
1. Pruning
The strain grows more vigorously vertically than horizontally. However, you may need to prune any extra branches that won’t bear buds or any foliage that hinders optimum airflow and light penetration.
2. Training
The vertical growth can be easily kept in check by employing techniques such as Topping and Low Stress Training (LST) early into the vegetative stage. When Topping, you cut the shoot to encourage secondary stems. On the other hand, LST involves gently bending the long and lanky branches and tying them into an even canopy.
3. Strategic Pot Size
A medium sized pot of about 7- 10 liters can help regulate the size of your Red Congolese Auto plants. The limited room for root expansion encourages the plants to start flowering early rather than focusing on upward growth. Ensure the pot and growing medium have proper drainage to avoid root rot.
Pro Grow Tip : Make sure to provide lots of light during he vegetative state to promote growth as well prune these cannabis plants to give proper airflow.
Lighting
While Red Congolese Autoflower does not need change in light cycles to flower, providing it with dark hours enhances its photosynthesis and metabolism processes. During flowering, about 6 hours of darkness improves bud development.
Hydroponics Systems
You can leverage the autoflowering trait with a hydroponics setup for high yields. Hydroponics deliver precise nutrients to the plants with a quicker uptake. This speeds up maturity and improves the efficiency of your growing with lesser nutrients , water and lighting used.
Origin And History
The Red Congolese Autoflower ‘s history and lineage transcends between continents and cannabis traditions. The strain is a beautiful cross of the Red Congolese strain and Ruderalis genetics.
