Strawberry Mango Haze

Concentration and a lifted mood, along with giggling and talkativeness: this is how consumers describe the effects of Strawberry Mango Haze, a cross of Strawberry Cough and Mango Haze. A clone vendor describes the strain as a clone that was passed from grower to grower on the US West Coast exclusively as a cutting. Seeds under this name trace back to other lines, such as the autoflower strain from Flash Seeds.

Community Experiences:

In essence, the reports describe a stimulating, clear effect. Mentioned are focus during work and everyday tasks, good mood, energy and talkativeness; one consumer highlighted heightened perception of colors and music. Several reports pair the alert head with physical relaxation, and one mentions sleepiness.

A detailed review from 2015 differs markedly. A short, stimulating start with sharpened hearing was followed there, after about 20 minutes, by deep, body-centered relaxation with little drive overall.

Dry eyes and dry mouth appear as accompanying effects. Paranoia is reported by 2 consumers, one of them additionally describing feeling overexcited and a raised pulse, the other being easily startled. Some found the smoke harsh or irritating to cough on.

Aroma and Flavor:

Strawberry and mango dominate the descriptions, though the weighting varies. In one report the flower smelled of strawberry and tasted of mango. The 2015 review found mainly mango on the outside, both fruits in the broken-up interior, and again predominantly mango in the flavor. Strain descriptions add sweetness, tropical fruit, an earthy note and a hint of pine; one producer additionally lists citrus and herbs. One report criticizes the taste.

Myrcene appears in all available terpene data. A producer from Massachusetts listed terpinolene at 0.3 % as the most abundant terpene for one batch, ahead of myrcene at 0.2 % and caryophyllene at 0.16 %. Another published lab report lists myrcene ahead of caryophyllene and limonene, while other strain descriptions name myrcene, limonene and pinene.

THC and CBD Content:

Strain descriptions give 20 % and 22 to 23 % THC respectively, one of them also 1 % CBG. Measured values reported on products are in a similar range: in 2015 they were 23.4 % THC and 0.3 % CBD, and a published lab report gives 23.75 % THC alongside 26.24 % THCA and 0.059 % CBD. The producer from Massachusetts states 20.62 % THCA and 0.1 % CBG. Values vary by batch, cultivation and phenotype.

Genetics and Origin:

Strawberry Cough × Mango Haze is the parentage named consistently by strain descriptions, US producers and clone vendors. Mango Haze is attributed to Nevil and Shantibaba and combines Haze, Northern Lights #5 and Skunk. One strain description classes Strawberry Mango Haze as a sativa-dominant hybrid with 70 % sativa, another lists it as a sativa.

Versions from Different Breeders:

Flash Seeds sells a feminized SuperAuto under the name, made from Brazil, Mango Haze and Stitch0.2; the ruderalis share comes from Stitch0.2. The breeder states a height of 200 to 400 cm and a yield of over 300 g per plant. The flowers are described by the breeder as light, with large, resinous calyxes and little foliage.

A producer from Oregon offers flowers whose parentage it gives as Strawberry Haze × Tropical Mango. The cuttings from The Clone Cartel and Green Dragon Genetics, by contrast, both list Strawberry Cough × Mango Haze as their origin; whether they are the same clone cannot be determined from the information.

Cultivation:

The cultivation information comes from clone vendors. They describe a strong stretch during the first 3 weeks of flowering: Green Dragon Genetics gives a factor of 2 to 3, while a guide to the Clone Cartel cutting speaks of at least a doubling in height and advises switching to flowering earlier than usual and training the shoots in a SCROG net. Green Dragon Genetics recommends early topping.

Flowering time figures differ. For the Clone Cartel cutting, the guide gives about 8 weeks and advises against harvesting before day 55, as the aroma would not be fully developed by then; Green Dragon Genetics gives 9 to 11 weeks.

The strain is considered sensitive to feeding. According to the guide, overfeeding leads to burnt leaf tips; Green Dragon Genetics recommends low nitrogen during flowering and classes the strain as demanding and unsuitable for beginners. The flowers are described as airy to medium-firm; the 2015 review speaks of loose, soft flowers in dark green with orange hairs. Purple hints are mentioned by the guide and a producer from New Jersey.
