Mango Crunch
Also known as: Mango Crunch OG
Mango Crunch Strain Overview
Mango Crunch is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Mango Kush with an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the tropical fruit flavors of Mango Kush with the potent, relaxing effects characteristic of OG Kush varieties. While its exact genetic lineage beyond the primary cross remains somewhat obscure in public records, Mango Crunch has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive aromatic profile and well-rounded effects.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure, often displaying a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, accentuated by a generous coating of amber trichomes. The leaves typically exhibit a classic indica morphology with broad leaflets, and the flowers are known for their resinous texture that makes them slightly sticky to the touch. Notable features include its pronounced mango aroma with subtle earthy undertones and its balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
Mango Crunch has maintained a consistent presence in West Coast cannabis markets and has been adopted by several commercial growers due to its reliable performance and consumer appeal. The strain represents a successful example of fruit-forward hybrid development during a period when breeders were increasingly focusing on flavor enhancement alongside potency. While not as widely documented as some mainstream varieties, Mango Crunch has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its tropical character combined with classic Kush effects.

Mango Crunch Strain Growing Information
Mango Crunch is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and providing adequate support for heavy colas. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a flush period before harvest to enhance flavor expression.
