Mango Kush.....???

mango kush is not a sativa..

 

First off my apologies for your thread being hijacked into an issue that is completely off topic. However, when uneducated comments are made they need to be corrected. This forum is about sharing information and learning together, and inaccurate information gets us nowhere. My original post was meant to be helpful; that yes, the bud looks like quality, but there's no way for any of us to know for sure if the strain is Mango Kush or if it's sativa or indica dominant by looking at the bud.

Your smoke report leads you to believe that what you're smoking is a sativa dominant strain. Other posters are claiming Mango Kush is indica dominant. And other people at other forums are also having varying smoke reports. I've personally never seen it, grown it, nor have I found any breeder information.

In response to the rude comment of your post:

I know a couple of my posts are 'somewhat' off topic and directed towards another poster. But again, all I was trying to do was provide some helpful information to you and other readers, and correct some things he said. If you don't want help/answers then don't ask for it. There was really no need in calling me a "no brain asshole fuckboy that posts stupid shit." A little uncalled for considering the personal time I took to answer your questions and provide you with a little FYI. Maybe next time you won't be so fortunate as to have a great community as this where you can get answers/help quickly.

If you would like for me to remove the last post I made (with the picture), since it is completely irrelevant to your thread, or any post of mine for that matter, I will remove it. You can send me a message if there are any posts you'd like deleted. Have a good one and enjoy the Mango Kush.. ??

Edit: Also, I am not from California (completely on the other side of the continent) and I do not claim to know "everything"; but I've grown lots of beautiful girls for several years and have enjoyed smoking it for even longer - so I think I have something worth sharing.

 

It's cool man, everything just got a little crazy, as it sometimes does..

But, no I never actually took many pictures of my grows.. well nothing that I ever saved because I wasn't apart of a website like this to upload them to. I'm out of the grow scene at the moment due to living conditions but once I find a new location I'll be back in action.

To answer your growing questions:

Now I don't want this to be too in-depth and sound like a school lesson, because you can find tons of growing information by searching the forms; however, before you get started, there's a couple things you should know before if you don't already.

The term sinsemilla is spanish for "without seeds." When the female plant becomes fertilized by the male plant then seeds are produced - which I'm sure you already knew. Now when a grower or nature switches from vegetive growth cycle to a flowering cycle, the female plant that has not yet been pollinated will begin to develop trichomes, a sticky resin that helps to catch pollen floating in the air. It's in this resin that we find a majority of the plants THC and CBD content. This is the goal of every grower; to prevent the female plant from becoming fertilized. For when it does become fertilized, it no longer spends energy to produce the trichomes we desire.

Now the seeds you have are, I'm assuming, bagseeds that you have found in your pickups. So this means that the OG Kush bud that you got came from a plant that became pollinated. This happened one of two ways: 1) it began flowering and then became pollinated by a male plant, or 2) it was "stressed" and produced both flowers and seeds. The latter occurs when the flowering cycle is forced upon the plant too early and when it's not ready. It somewhat shocks or confuses the plant to thinking that this is its last chance for reproduction; so, in a desperate attempt to carry on its lineage, it produces little pollen clusters and self-pollinates.

The reason why a grower would not want to use bagseeds is because it does not contain the "best" genetics. Obviously the plant was not grown in optimal conditions so it's offspring will not carry the ideal genetics. If it was a hermie, then there's a good chance the offspring will also be a hermie, so more attention will need to be devoted to the plant. However, I believe most of us got our start into growing with bagseed - it's definitely the best way to learn because some good seeds/clones can be kinda pricey. If you're going to be near Canada you can check out some seed banks there and just hide them in your pocket when you come back over.

Once you've got the growing down and now you have some true strains that you want to work with, you'll most likely take clone clippings from your mother. For one thing it's so much easier than breeding, but not to mention way more cost effective.

I've only gone about four generations deep so I can not answer your question with true accuracy but I will tell you that clones are an exact copy of the mother; so if you grow the clone in the same conditions as the mother you'll have the same plant each time, whether it's the first generation or the tenth. The thing that some people claim to happen is that some mutation occurs the further out the lineage goes, usually around the 7th or 8th generation. Whether this is true I have no idea, but IMO mutations aren't biased to a particular generation and can occur at any level. If there was a mutation it would most likely be so subtle that you would never notice it.

If you want a good beginner read then check out The Cannabis Grow Bible, you should be able to download a free e-book PDF file; and there's probably even a link in the forums somewhere.
