African Gas

Overview

African Gas, a potent hybrid from Bangi Haze and A5 Haze, features unmatched gas-like terpenes and intense psychoactive effects. Its sativa-dominant structure yields massive colas, with a genetic makeup comprising Haze, Congo, and a significant indica influence from Northern Lights. This strain stands out as the most potent offering in recent years, boasting high THC levels and a multifaceted terpene profile.

Aroma & Effects

30% of plants possess a unique, overpowering gas scent, with nuances of solvent, meat, and leather, intensifying on the palate. The remaining 70% exhibit a less intense gas aroma, paired with citrus, floral, and earthy notes. The gas phenotype provides a deeply intoxicating and paralyzing effect, suggestive of a heavy indica, leading to a devastatingly narcotic experience. The other phenotype offers a highly potent effect, marked by a more cerebral and energetic sativa influence.

Terpenes & Growing Tips

The strain’s terpene profile is dominated by beta myrcene and limonene, with a mix of other monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes contributing to its complex aroma. African Gas thrives under strong light, with recommendations for both SOG and SCROG setups. It’s well-suited to warm climates or mild autumns, requiring high nutrient levels throughout its cycle.

• Genetics: Bangi Haze (F8) x A5 Haze by Neville (Northern Lights #5/HazeA)
• Structure: Powerful structure, featuring both a massive main cola and huge side colas
• Bouquet: In approximately 30% of the plants, an incredibly strong and unusual flammable gas scent predominates (a delight for fans of this type of terpenes), sometimes accompanied by solvent notes and final nuances of meat (foie gras) and leather. This profile translates densely and satisfyingly to the palate, with the gas becoming even more intense (like smelling and ‘smoking’ lighter gas), alongside solvent, damp peat, subtle lemony hints, and final meaty tones, occasionally accompanied by decaying flowers and hashish. The remaining 70% also exhibit gas, though not as intense as in the previous phenotype, with citrus, floral, mango and even earthy African terpenes taking also a more prominent role
• High: The strictly gas phenotype delivers an incredibly powerful, intoxicating, and annihilating effect with the strong character of a heavy indica. It paralyzes you with the intensity of each hit, beginning with warm physical sensations that induce lethargy and tranquil relaxation, reaching a rare calm (before the storm), before fall into a toxic and perilous one way trip: dense, dark, narcotic, and dissociative, like a filthy and decadent binge that inexorably leads to physical and mental devastation, blowing minds and humbling even the bravest. Ample rest is necessary to recover from its venomous effects. The remaining 70% (with terpenes including citrus, floral, and fruity notes) also hit with high to very high potency and impactful effects. While not as destructive as the strictly gas phenotype, they exhibit a crazier, more cerebral sativa side accompanying the initial progression of the effect
• Terpene profile: It mainly contains the following monoterpenes: high to exceptional levels of beta myrcene, limonene levels ranging from moderate to high, low to moderate-high levels of trans ocimene, and low-moderate levels of alpha pinene, beta pinene, and linalool. Sesquiterpenes: low levels of beta caryophyllene and alpha bisabolol, with variability in the presence of small amounts of guaiol and trans nerolidol
• Growing Tips: It can be grown indoors with strong light intensity and with enough space for its development. It flowers perfectly under 12/12 photoperiod, although for smaller spaces or faster cycles, it may be advisable to flower under an 11 (light)/13 (darkness) photoperiod for the flowering indoors, in order to boost the flowering, and to avoid reflowerings or excessive stretching in early flowering. Very suitable for SOG crops due to its great yield in the main cola, or for SCROG, horizontal or network growing due to its excellent yield in the lateral branches and its vigorous reaction to pruning. Outdoors, it is especially suitable for outdoor cultivation in warm climates or with mild autumns (similar to the Mediterranean) up to latitudes close to 43º. We recommend high levels of nutrients for the whole cycle.
