Mango
About Mango
You can’t even talk about OG marijuana strains without mentioning Mango, a strain that’s been around since the 1960’s. The product we know today was modified back in 1991, as KC33 was crossed with the old-school strain to get this balanced 50/50 hybrid. Winning third place in the indica category during the 2002 High Times’ Cannabis Cup, it was also listed as one of the magazine’s best seeds of 2009.
Mango brings a lot to the table with THC levels that can vary, so depending on what you’re looking for, you have some options. Average content hovers around 20%, although it has been found as low as 15% and as high as 24%. Buds can get huge, with various shades of yellow, purple, and green throughout. It has a nice and sweet mango scent that is accented with earthy herbal notes and tastes incredible. Imagine lemon cream, sour mango, and earth all blending into one amazing flavor!
This strain acts as a bit of a sneaky one, with a slight high that makes you feel calm and joyous. As you continue through your journey, you’ll end up with a growing sense of energy and a happy attitude that allows you to be creative. Many users notice a body high associated with Mango and primarily note feelings of warm tingles. Although a lot of strains can tend to make you a bit hungry, Mango will likely make you ravenous, so stock up on the snacks beforehand!
Typical Effects
Common Usage
The positive vibes that come from Mango are what make it such an effective choice for individuals who struggle with stress and depression. Pain management isn’t beyond its reach either, as it can tend to have a numbing effect on the body at times. When smoked in larger doses, Mango can also have a rather sedating effect, making it a good choice for insomniacs.
Growing Mango might catch you a bit off guard at first, as it seems like the plants aren’t doing much of anything. While they start off slow, buds eventually reach the size of softballs and can become very heavy for unsupported branches. Expect a high yield after anywhere from 8 to 11 weeks, and grow inside or outside as Mango does either nicely.
THC Content
There’s just something about a strain with a deep lineage that makes you wonder who got high off of it decades ago, and Mango is no exception. Great for smokers who love a strong fruity vibe or for those who need a bit of extra calming energy, you’ll want to keep this one around.

Purchased in a cart form, I found it very chill off just a few daytime hits but in the evening getting into it a little more it seems it has very relaxing effects with a really nice taste as you exhale, I look forward to experimenting more as I just got this strain for the first time!..

What a nice flower! Purchased liberty health sciences as a pre-roll. Very nice evening smoke. Very relaxing, allowing me to relax and with a minimal dose of concentrate I can overcome a lifetime of insomnia

Mango was a light Indica / heavy Hybrid (Indica side) in effects to me. The smell & taste was lightly sweet & fruity. Looks of the bud was nothing to mention about one way or the other. This strain has been around since the 60's ("updated" in 91). Received Third Place in the Indica category during the 02 High Times Cannabis Cup. Worth a try for sure :)
