Purple Mango
Purple Mango
Also known as: Purple Mango Kush
Overview
Purple Mango is a cannabis strain name that encompasses several distinct genetic variants, making it a complex entry in cannabis taxonomy. Purple Mango may be a sativa or indica-dominant experience, depending on the source, highlighting the multiple breeding lines that share this name. Purple Mango is a hybrid weed strain made from a genetic cross between Mango Kush and an unknown parent strain according to one lineage, while another version is an indica-dominant cross of Purple Tahoe and Mango Sherbet. There's also a third variant described as a crossbreeding of Purple Kush, a celebrated indica-dominant strain known for its deeply sedative effects, and Mango Haze. Additionally, Purple Mango Kush represents yet another distinct line, being a hybrid cannabis strain with a clear sativa dominance (60%), the result of a careful cross between Lavender and Delicious Cookies. Despite the genetic diversity, most Purple Mango variants share common characteristics: strikingly vibrant purple-hued flowers and an aroma reminiscent of ripe mangoes, with the purple coloration resulting from anthocyanins, flavonoids that produce deep purple hues when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. The strain's appeal lies in combining the best attributes of its genetic lineage, creating a harmonious blend of effects suited to a wide range of medical conditions, making it popular among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its balanced therapeutic profile and distinctive tropical flavor profile.

Growing Information
Purple Mango typically flowers in 8 to 10 weeks, with outdoor plants ready for harvest by late September to early October. The strain shows strong, vigorous growth with robust branches supporting its dense, resinous buds and good resistance to pests and diseases. It prefers warm and sunny climates, with a well-drained and nutrient-rich substrate. For indoor cultivation, humidity should be kept between 50% and 70% during vegetative stage, gradually decreasing to 40% to 50% during flowering. The flowering period is just 60 days for some variants, offering yields close to one gram per watt. Full-spectrum LED or HID lighting is ideal for maximizing growth and yield. The strain is considered suitable for both novice and experienced growers, adapting well to both indoor and outdoor environments. Proper curing is essential, with buds dried slowly in controlled environments at 60°F to 70°F with 50% humidity, followed by curing in airtight containers for several weeks to enhance flavor and potency.
