Mango Sapphire
11/25/2017
This is another nice strain from Humbolt Seed Co. Probably the fastest flowering I've grown as it was ready in 7 weeks of flowering but I gave it 8 for good measure. These are beautiful to look at. The best phenotypes is taller with buds that are a green and purple combo with serious frosting and bright orange hairs (this could be Bubbas Gift dominant...?) and she grew with hardly any leaves and nothing down low so trimming was a cinch. The other pheno's are a mostly green one with smaller buds and a crinkly leaved one that smells just like fresh ripe strawberries and the trichromes have stayed crystal clear (it really doesn't smell like ganga). These are some of the prettiest buds I've ever grown and some of the leaves flushed with a reddish/puplish hue as she finished.
The smoke is rich and strong, very, very earthy, perhaps a little cheesy and reminiscent of good black afghani hash (it reminds me of the best of UK outdoors taste wise) but only faintly fruity and it leaves my mouth a bit oily tasting (as do most purple strains) it's not really very mango flavoured but hopefully it develops more flavour as it cures over time. I'm not particularly getting a high presence of tropical fruit and coconut flavours promised in the marketing but everyone tastes things differently. It's still delicious. Yield was medium. Buds were a bit course but easy to pick apart. Plants were short but not too bushy plenty of light penetration. One star missing for flavour. One star missing for yield.
