Mango Smile - Indica/sativa 20/80
 
Mango Smile can be assessed as quite unusual in behaviour and structure; she starts off with unique leaf shapes, soft but definitely showing her sativa genetics. The seedling and the vegetative stage are quite undramatic, she just gets on with it! She is a fairly open-structured plant from the off, however, once she sexes and hits the pre-flower stage, all hell breaks loose.

We would recommend a big pot, and actively training them from early on, be it as minor as leaf tucking, to LST, to HST and scrogging, they can be manipulated heavily without slowing them down too much. Be prepared for a generous stretch, if grown naturally the foliage will be pretty sparse, she puts out big fan leaves and the branches have large internodal gaps. If trained, her foliage will be more apparent and will probably require several sessions of leaf management to ensure all the flower sites are bathed adequately in light.


Depending on how you shape the Mango Smile, you can either get a big monster cola and satellite flowers, or multi-topped plants with slimmer flowers. The flowers are generally compact for a heavy sativa strain, and the calyxes can stack, but when grown correctly the flowers are heavily encrusted in thick white resin. Like photoperiod sativas, this strain will be sensitive to the environment, when dialled in you can expect BIG yields of really fire product, and again as with the Hubbabubbahaze less can be more when it comes to nitrogen and what you fuel her with.
