Also known as: Red Mangosteen Kush
Red Mangosteen Strain Overview
Red Mangosteen is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its unique tropical flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources suggesting it was developed by boutique breeders in California during the early 2010s. Its name derives from the mangosteen fruit, a tropical delicacy native to Southeast Asia, which the strain's aroma and flavor profile are said to resemble.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a distinctive coloration that gives it its name. The flowers typically display deep purple and magenta hues, often with bright orange pistils weaving through the dense trichome coverage. The leaves may show dark green to purple coloration, particularly when grown in cooler temperatures. The buds are usually resinous and sticky to the touch, with a frosty appearance from abundant trichome production.
Red Mangosteen is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines fruity, floral, and earthy notes. The strain has gained a reputation among enthusiasts for providing a well-rounded experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. While not as widely available as mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities for its unique characteristics and balanced effects.

Red Mangosteen Strain Growing Information
Red Mangosteen is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 120-160 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Red Mangosteen responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled environments where temperature can be managed to enhance its coloration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during the flowering phase to encourage the development of its characteristic purple hues. The plants benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding. Proper humidity control is important during late flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds.
