Hello to all. I have a mango strain here and its about 4 weeks into flowering. The "supposed" flower time is 6-8 weeks. Not really going by that though. I wanted to see if anyone can let me know how im doing. First time grow and have had alot of enjoyment out of this. Also if anyone knows about the mango strain i would love to hear more about it. Peace and love

Lookin good there!!!! I have grown mango for the last year and a half, and i got to say, WOW!!! very fast in veg, fast in flowering, i finished every harvest just under 8 weeks. yeild was always very high as well, i averaged 1 1/4 oz per at the least. Flavor is so sweet, flavor was more like grapefruit and mango mixed i thought, and left a very smooth, almost light hashy taste afterwards. the high is very exotic too!!! very frontal in the brain, light buzz on the body. great for any and everyone i would say. All my friends who hit it too, really could not gett enough as weell as myself!! That is why it still grows with me!!!!

sweet. thanks for the quick reply. Did it by chance have swelled calyxes? And give off a musty skunk odor at this stage?

The picture is a little blurry, what worries me is the lime green colors I see in the bud.
Male flowers that I have seen grow late in flowering, are mostly mutated / deformed flowers. They are as green as fully open male flowers. They are tucked in tight with the female flowers. Hard to tell what they are... I wouldn't call it a true herm. just a lady who wants a baby... LOL
If you do get a few seeds from her, I'm willing to bet all offspring will be females.
This has been my experience...
I'm 90% sure about this...

More lumens, genetics always helps.

thanks for posting this, didn't want my first post to be a thread starter.

I don't intend to hijack this thread but I bet I have pondered some of the same questions as you.

these here bagseed from a good class, 3 weeks flowering 400 watt HPS, 150 watt MH for full spectrum, temps around 80, dehumidifier keeps humiditiy at 20% or less. Canna bio flora organic flowering, organic siol with coco mixed in.

this is the first fictional grow and out of the 4+ plants I had going all showed there balls except one

heres the loney lady almost 3 weeks... Sub Zero your remarks above are concerning based on the 'light green" in these

please let me know what you see wrong here

Thats what surprised me...I was told the T's would do fluffy buds compared to HID..but they weren't fluffy..they were very dense in that pic... and no different, just bigger when I finished 4 weeks with HPS....

yo bro really nice plants, love them.keep up the good work bro.
it all depends on your growing methods-how much and WHAT nutes are you giving them and especially what light are you using-the more wattages the better man.

oh, an yes-every plant has his/her genetical limits.
