About Mango OG Strain

While its origins are somewhat unclear, there is a general agreement that the Mango OG strain is an indica-dominant product that stems from crossing Mango Cannabis and the Hindu Kush strains. Their names indicate what to expect from their lovechild in terms of flavor and aroma.

It’s well known for its long-lasting effects, ideal for lazy days or managing insomnia. Its THC levels range from 22 to a whopping 32 percent. Its heart-shaped green buds are hard to miss, and the orange pistils and crystal-like trichomes add to its charm. Its flavors consist of earthy, floral, and woody overtones.

Potential Side Effects

Fortunately, the mango OG strain has fewer side effects than other strains and, they often occur when you overindulge. Typical unpleasant effects include itchy eyes, headaches, cottonmouth, and paranoia on rare occasions.

Medical Benefits

Typically, you expect this strain’s psychoactive properties to attract recreation users. However, you would be surprised to discover that its users boast of its medical benefits as well. For instance, many claim that it is an antidote for stress. This strain accomplishes this role through its giggly and mood-boosting effects.

What’s more, its sedative effects not only leave you relaxed but may also provide pain relief from conditions such as headaches and joint pains. Finally, it can help manage insomnia, so it’s worth lighting it up on those days where you struggle to catch some Zs.

Growing

One thing you’ll love about mango OG is its relatively easy growing process. Note that its cycle is slightly different from other strains. Notably, it displays extensive growth during its vegetative phase. Plus, even though it contains dense buds, its thick stalk makes it sturdy, eliminating the need for support.

You must apply the trimming technique for a successful growth process. Trimming is essential because it eliminates elements such as fan leaves and stems that can be harsh during sessions.

Two options are available: wet trimming or dry trimming.

Wet trimming

This process is doable in one sitting. You’ll cut the buds off then leave them on a drying rack for several days. Those who opt for wet trimming like it because:

• It’s a more straightforward process
• If you live in a humid climate, wet trimming is a fantastic mold preventive measure as it promotes fast drying
• It’s space-efficient because you’ll eliminate most of the plant when trimming. This factor is crucial when growing your mango OG strain indoors.
• It’s neater and will produce a more aesthetically pleasing result
• Proponents of this believe that wet trimming does not break down trichomes and will therefore preserve the terpene profile

Dry trimming

This process is more time-consuming, so you may want to save it for the weekend. First, you’ll need to cut the plant and place it on a drying rack for several days. Afterward, you’ll then begin the trimming process, where you’ll remove the buds, sugar, and other parts. Those who opt for this technique prefer it because:

• Dry trimming makes the most of a longer drying process, especially if you live in arid climates. As a result, this will prevent the terpene loss
• The two-stage drying process means you don’t have to deal with the sticky mess because the trichomes will have dried then.

Unfortunately, dry trimming may leave the trichomes brittle, potentially leading to terpene loss. Furthermore, the process of hanging them requires more space than wet trimming. And can be tricky if your growing area is small.

Remember, if you are growing your mango OG strain indoors, it will help keep the temperature between 20 and 27 degrees Celcius and utilize the Sea of Green(SOG) technique. This strain is ideal for SOG because it’s short and compact.

Moreover, your plants must have a uniform height. For this reason, it would be best to use initial plants from the tissue culture technique. The SOG helps propel bud development, shorten the vegetative phase, and produce massive yields. We recommend up to 2 plants per square foot.

Flowering

Indoors, the mango OG strain will produce approximately 14 ounces/m2. Expect a bountiful harvest of about 400g/m2 after eight or nine weeks. Outdoors, the strain flourishes in warm climates. Expect yields of up to 450grams per plant typically on the last week of October.

In a nutshell, the mango OG strain is a fantastic and delicious cannabis strain, ideal for recreational and medical purposes. While it has a modest THC level, it does not give users calming and mood-elevating buzz. That’s not all. It may provide pain relief, reduce stress and come through on those sleepless nights. With its beginner-friendly growing process, this means you too can set up a grow room in your backyard.
