Heavenly Hybrid 1st Grow: Mango Kush Indoor LED ScrOG Grow 2018

Hellloooooooooooo

Too high from your super awesome harvest!? :battingeyelashes:
I wish! I’m having to be smoke free right now, and it’s so lame! Had surgery yesterday so I’m in recovery mode. Probably be able to smoke again right about the same time Marlin and Nemo are done curing :D something to look forward too.
 
Get well soon and get back to your buds!
Thanks Shed! I’m in research mode again for my next grow. I’m looking at using coco mixed with pearlite as my medium. What do you guys use?

All the best for the recovery Heaven :love:

There’s a few here that grow in perlite - they call it “Hempy” - and there’s a thread Hempy Headquaters dedicated to it. Recently SweetSue mentioned a notion about mixing perlite and coco coir but she hasn’t done it yet. Folks on the Hempy train use a variety of different nutes. It’s pretty much hydro in a ‘bucket’ so far as I can tell. That thread would be a great place to drop your question and see what others are doing with it. I grow in soil so have little idea myself.
:Namaste:
 
I hope the recovery is going well!
Aww, thank you Shed!! So far, so good. :hug: I got some mini LED clip on lights delivered today. Thinking about getting some seeds started under there. Feeling closer to being able to at least do some seed dropping! I’m getting so jealous watching everyone progress along and I’m just laying around, literally! :laugh:
 
Quick update - a huge thank you to everyone who wished me well during my recovery from surgery! I’m getting a little better each day and I’m feeling well enough to get things going once again:high-five: And honestly, I just can’t wait any longer!!! Mr. Hybrid is here on nursing duties and is ready to jump in and help in the tent too. I started a new journal, Heavenly Hybrid 2nd grow - Blackberry Kush, coco grow, LED450 for anyone who would like to follow along. Hope to see you all around the grow tent and I’ll be posting a smoke report for the Mango Kush here very, very soon!
 
Alrighty - it is time for a “try my best” smoke report. :yummy: So far, I have only smoked from my Marlin jars, which were leafier, not so well trimmed, buds. I’m also at the disadvantage of not fully being able to smoke normally because it isn’t great for me to cough post-op. So I’m taking tiny little hits and only a few - but I can tell you, I would really be happy with this, as compared to a regular dispensary purchase, so first round goal achieved!! The reason we started growing ourselves was to save money, but not at the sacrifice of product, so for that I am so super pumped! (Is it okay to give myself a little pat on the back for that?!)

I am not great at distinguishing flavors (my apologies in advance), but it starts out with a musky/heavy? kind of flavor and then goes to a sweeter finish that does have a mango-ish taste. It isn’t harsh except for maybe it’s leafiness that does make me cough a little if I’m not careful. Some of the other types we bought at the dispensary, I can’t even smoke them at all because they make me hack no matter how small of a toke I take, so I am really happy with the MK smoothness. I’m hoping Nemo’s buds will be even smoother since I did a little better trimming job. I also dried them a little too fast on accident, so hoping to smooth it out even more on my next grow.

Now, I’m not good at telling you about how it tastes, but I am good at telling you how it makes me feel. And frankly, that’s what matters to me the most! I’ve been smoking nothing but the MK during the daytime for the last few days (albeit small hits each session) and it is a great daytime smoke. I feel slightly energized and giggly. It is supposed to be good for socializing and I would say, check! I feel chatty and happy soon after hitting it. As the high mellows, I find myself feeling relaxed and even zoning out a little (in a good way), just enjoying my buzz. My high lasts a pretty good amount of time, I like strains like strawberry cough because they’re a nice and light high, but damn! I feel like I’m heading to the garage every ten minutes! This MK high lasts a while before I need to smoke again. I can still function and go about my day, but relaxed and more easygoing (I can get pretty dang uptight sometimes).

According to the seedbank site, Mango Kush is 65% indica, 35% sativa, and averages about 16% THC, it’s supposed to be good for treating things like stress and anxiety and I would say check and check for both of those claims. It’s a little intimidating to grow one type of strain and say - ok, this is what we’re going to smoke for the next few months... Luckily this turned out to be pretty perfect for me and what I want in my daytime smoke. I bought a mix pack so my next few grows are predetermined for me. The next one is a Blackberry Kush, which is supposed to be harder to grow than the MK, but I think with the support of my 420mag crew, we’ll be able to manage it all together! And then the third grow will be the strain I was most interested in when I bought the pack, Banana Kush (can’t wait!!)

All in all, I’m really happy with how this turned out and the product I ended up with. Like I said before, I’d be happy if I had bought this kind at a dispensary and I’d add it to my dispensary line up, so thumbs up!! I I will happily grow this again, which is a good thing, because I have 3 more seeds of it. Lol. I would fully recommend this strain for anyone with social or anxiety stuff. I’m interested to make some edibles from it and see how gravy that might be! I watched a tutorial on making RSO and the Dr. in the vid recommend the Mango Kush strain specifically for anxiety, so a winner all around for this girl.
A big thank you to everyone who helped me through this grow!! I’m so happy and thankful to be part of this awesome community of growers!
 
Seems like a damn good smoke report to me! I'm glad it's checking off all the boxes (and glad it doesn't make you rip any stitches ;)).

You're darn tootin' it's okay! It's 420 approved :thumb:.

You have pulled a great crew together so I have no doubt you will pull this next grow off!
Thank you so much Shed, you’re my biggest supporter! :hug:
