Also known as: Colombian Mango Biche, Mangobiche
Mango Biche Strain Overview
Mango Biche is a legendary Colombian landrace strain that represents more than just a cannabis variety—it's a chapter of cannabis history rooted in Colombia's cultural and agricultural heritage. This rare landrace originates from the southern Colombian department of Huila, specifically cultivated in mountainous regions between 1400 and 1800 meters above sea level, and has been preserved by heritage breeders like The Landrace Team. The name "Mango Biche" translates to "green mango," referring to the strain's distinctly tropical, citrus-forward terpene profile.
Genetically, this strain is believed to be a cross between Colombian and Brazilian genetics, typically expressing as a 70% sativa / 30% indica hybrid. Studies using chromatography and DNA sequencing have confirmed its sativa dominance at roughly 95%, contributing to its energizing effects and uplifting high. During the late 1960s and 1970s, when Colombia became a key hub in the global cannabis trade, Mango Biche made its way out of Colombia through smuggling routes, with some of the earliest batches of Colombian weed to reach the U.S. containing Mango Biche genetics. The strain is believed to be foundational to many modern sativa strains, with varieties like Lamb's Bread, Green Crack, and Super Silver Haze believed to carry Mango Biche lineage.

Mango Biche Strain Growing Information
Mango Biche has an extremely long growth cycle with a vegetative stage of 16-20 weeks and flowering time of 15-18 weeks (approximately 116 days total). Under optimal natural conditions, plants can exceed 3-4 meters in height with a tall, slender tropical structure featuring long internodes and vibrant green leaves with occasional reddish stems. The strain is very resistant to continuous rains, pests, and fungi, making it well-suited for outdoor cultivation in tropical climates. Due to its extended flowering time, tall stature, and potent effects, it's best suited for experienced growers. It can be grown indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouses, though indoor cultivation requires significant experience due to the plant's size and long flowering period. Plants can reach 7 feet in height with baseball-bat sized colas, though the long flowering time of several months is considered a downside by many growers.
