The Final Post.
After months of hard work, some wins and some loss, I post here the final take of the Bc Mango cross Pheno#1, what I could see is a brand new shape of "bud" very unique shape, I can't point out if the outcome was from the genetics behind the cross or the environment she grew up in, or even if the photoperiod had something to do with it. She was covered in trichomes even on the stems and leaves. Sadly my project had to end before time (my personal life is going thru some big changes), I've decided to go back to school so I had to change plans again, Im not leaving to the west coast for a while, good thing is I can start a summer grow as soon as Im stable again, should be in the next month or so.
Conclusions;
My hypothesis about photoperiods defining traits in my plants is not proven yet, but I am very convinced that the amount of light we give to the plant does have a mayor impact on the shape, size, texture, cannabinoid content, terpenes... while in the tropics daylight does not have a mayor gap change during the entire year, going from 13hrs-11hrs AVG. of daylight, plants still vegetate until they have reached sexual maturity and then start their flowering period which could take as long as the vegetative stage did (3-5 months if you ask me).
In this journal is played with photoperiod and UVB radiation, first hand I could see a pattern in the leaves development, very few leaves, and the foliage was characterized by 1-3 leaflet leaves, only the first 4 nodes had the 5-7 leaflet leaves we are accustomed to see in Cannabis, the low foliage matter allow the plants to develop bud sites in very atypical shapes and sizes. My thoughts are if you have the time and willpower set your self a photoperiod schedule with very minimal changes, like a vegetative cycle that starts at 14.30 hrs of light then subtract 30 mins of your time monthly, or every two weeks, I believe this allows the plant to mature by it self and its not a stress derived like a 18-6 to 12-12 schedule would. Once again this is experimental growing, you will have to sacrifice yield for quality.
I commit on doing further test on this matter, every winter I will be doing a experimental grow (if my job allows me to lol), I have very interesting photoperiods I want to try.
On the quality of the Bc Mango cross; she was a beautiful plant, I got attached to her because she was unique, sadly the weights are marginal a little over 7 grms. but here is the catch I only smoke a joint of half a gram and the thing hits hard. When she was wet had a prolific ripe mango smell with that narcotic skunk smell from the mexican gens, I could differentiate both smells very clear. Then since the yield was low, I decided to chop complete, bud wash the entire plant (size 2 1/2 foot tall) then slow dried upside down wrapped in paper at a room temperature of 20-25 celsius for a week. I dint break into little buds, I left the plant complete then stored it in my fridge. Now every time I smoke I just break some material of and grind everything. The smell is very sweet almost like a mango chutney (excuse my cook side tends to blend in), when burnt does smell like Im smoking a cigar, very deep, very strong smoke. Smooth on the throat, no coughing, but the smoke exhaled does make my eyes red.
The effect is a hybrid like; going back on the genetics the original Bc Mango is a Hybrid I believe a 60-40 indica/sativa then crossed with the unknown genetics of my Mexican plant (presumably a high % sativa), The Bc mango cross does lift me up as I puff, I get to talking, start giving speeches, it gets me moving thoughts and ideas, this lasts over and hour or so, then you feel the body buzz, so you start looking for your couch or bed (in my case my hammock lol) then you wanna eat a big plate of ice cream while watching John Oliver talk about the news.
She is very precious so I only smoke a joint of this plant every Sunday while at the park, after riding the mountain bike.
I don't go in deep about the hermaphrodite traits I saw in this plant because I can't say what caused this, I did discover the daylight savings time did screw me up allowing unwanted light to penetrate my opened tent while I sleep in the morning, but their is also the possibility that these traits are part of the genetic pool in the cross, guess I will have to find a Pheno that is hermie free.
I will try to pop some of the same seeds Bc Mango cross for my summer grow, I really want to see them outdoors.
I thank everyone that has been sharing ideas with me and for sure I will invite everyone on my next growing adventure. Stay posted.
Keep them green, keep them growing and keep enjoying.
What kind of smells are you getting off the differing phenos D?
You know you wanna 
Pheno #2 looks for all the world like a French Lavander plant from a distance. What unique form. These look like they would have responded well to Ranger's espalier technique. 
I like the way you eke out the harvest for special moments. Shows a certain respect for the sacrifice of the plant. 
badass!
Kudos on another great experiment D!
