African Gas Feminized

Origins and Genetics

A groundbreaking hybrid born from the union of Bangi Haze and A5 Haze, this strain boasts a unique terpene profile not found in its parent strains, alongside an intense psychoactive experience.

Its structure is defined by massive colas with sativa dominance, mirroring the powerful African Gas lineage. The plant features dense buds with high flower-to-leaf ratios and often develops a reflowering phase that resembles the original NL/Haze phenotype.

Combining equal parts sativa (Haze and Congo) with a strong indica influence from Northern Lights, this hybrid delivers high yields and an overwhelming, intoxicating effect.

Flavor and Aroma

About 30% of the plants emit a potent, unusual flammable gas scent, often accompanied by solvent notes and hints of meat (foie gras) and leather. This translates to a dense, satisfying flavor with intense gas notes, solvent undertones, damp peat, subtle citrus, and occasional meaty or floral tones. The remaining 70% show similar gas notes but with more prominent citrus, floral, mango, and earthy African terpenes.

Effects and Experience

The gas-dominant phenotype delivers a powerful, intoxicating high with the heavy indica character. It starts with warm physical sensations that induce relaxation, then transitions into a rare calm before unleashing a dense, dark, dissociative experience akin to a decadent binge. Recovery from its intense effects requires ample rest. The other 70% offer a high to very high potency with a more cerebral sativa influence, making the effects slightly less destructive but more mentally stimulating.

Cannabinoid and Terpene Profile

This strain has THC levels ranging from 19.19% to 22.13%, with low CBD (0.40-0.45%) and variable CBG (0.28-2.17%). Its terpene profile features high levels of beta myrcene, moderate to high limonene, and low to moderate trans ocimene, alongside smaller amounts of alpha and beta pinene, linalool, beta caryophyllene, and alpha bisabolol.

Growing Characteristics

Indoors, it thrives under strong light and requires ample space. It flowers well under a 12/12 photoperiod but may benefit from an 11/13 cycle in smaller spaces to prevent excessive stretching. Ideal for SOG or SCROG setups due to its high yield in the main cola and vigorous lateral branches. Outdoors, it performs best in warm climates up to 43º latitude with high nutrient levels throughout the growth cycle.
