It's widely believed that the presence of mango flavors in this fruity strain both heightens and prolongs the high. Regardless of whether this is true or not, what is certain is that the mouth-watering flavor of the tropical fruit goes well with almost everything – cannabis included. You can experience the combined pleasure of both while also basking in nighttime relaxation, all courtesy of Mango Kush.

This Indica-heavy strain has a moderately high THC level, much like its parents. The mango-banana flavor comes from the delightfully fruity Mango strain, while its hashy taste is an influence of the legendary Hindu Kush. Inducing an opiate-like body high, it bestows physical relaxation with potent analgesic activity that's said to work wonders against arthritis and migraines. More than anything, it's effective in calming the mind and uplifting the mood, potentially relieving stress and depression along the way.

From a grower's standpoint, having Indica-leaning growth patterns is an advantage, as is the use of feminized seeds when growing for big yields. These feminized Mango Kush seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. create a beginner-friendly plant that produces a medium-heavy harvest when raised in a favorable environment. As an added bonus, its fragrance – similar to the scent of its namesake fruit – is unlikely to attract negative attention.

Growing Mango Kush from Feminized Seeds

Aside from its delicious aroma, this strain is also visually stunning. It grows to about 4 or 5 feet tall and has a fluffy foliage of wide-fingered green and purple fan leaves. Its buds are covered in orange pistils and thick, shiny resin.

Mango Kush is undemanding, with straightforward needs. To achieve optimal harvest, you just need to provide the basic necessities of an Indica plant. Prune it diligently to maintain ample airflow and light penetration, and grow it in a warm and dry environment, preferably with 70 to 79°F temperature and 40 to 50% RH level. Avoid overfeeding and over- or under-watering.

Indoors, a Sea of Green setup with soil or hydroponics results in increased yield even in small spaces. It flowers for 8 to 9 weeks and can produce up to 1.31 ounces per square foot. Outdoor cultivation in optimal locations like California and Southern Europe can produce up to 17 ounces per plant, with harvest starting in the northern hemisphere by mid-to-late October.

Fragrance and Flavor

Mango Kush has a head-turning mango and banana fragrance with an earthy touch. When lit up and inhaled, its fruity taste reveals hints of hashish, sandalwood and pine. These undertones add an exciting dimension to its flavor profile, making it almost impossible to resist another hit.

Effects

Mango Kush delivers a head-to-toe calming high that's ideal for nighttime relaxation. Its euphoric cerebral influence invites happy thoughts, resulting in an uplifted mindset. It also enhances sensory perception, including visual, auditory, olfactory and tactile sensitivity.

Because of this change, the surroundings feel different, and even the most mundane activities seem more appealing. As for its physical influence, low to moderate dosages calm the body without robbing it of mobility. High doses, on the other hand, might induce a couch-locked state, locking you in an intimate embrace with the sofa until sleep arrives.

As always, correct dosing is important, and overconsumption is not recommended. Although Mango Kush is only moderately potent, it may still cause adverse reactions, with dry eyes and cottonmouth being the most common. It may also lead to dizziness, headaches and paranoia.

Medical

Mango Kush, although more popularly used for recreational purposes, is also a highly sought-after medicinal strain. It induces a positive state of mind, potentially benefiting people suffering from depression, PTSD, anxiety, bipolar disorder and stress. Many patients also use it to prevent nausea and vomiting, as well as to boost their appetite. The combination of its munchies effect and antiemetic activity may help patients battling eating disorders, AIDS, and the side effects of chemotherapy.

This herb is said to have muscle relaxant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that may soothe migraines, arthritis and more. It's a sedative too, which pretty much guarantees a good night's slumber that the likes of insomnia and PTSD cannot disrupt.
