Tip #1 – Mango Kush Strain Review: What to Expect When Using It

Look no further than this strain if you crave relaxation at the end of a long, difficult day.

The euphoric feeling is gloriously uplifting, and the indica effects instill a feeling of gentle relaxation. Be warned, though, this strain can induce couch-lock. However, users say it lasts for roughly an hour rather than for the entire duration of the high.

The Mango Kush strain is also a popular choice among medicinal marijuana consumers. Reportedly this strain may help to address chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and pain.

Tip #2 – Difficulty Growing Mango Kush

Mango Kush’s growth difficulty is classified as moderate. One essential factor in growing Mango Kush is ensuring that the grow room’s humidity remains reasonably low.

Here are some quick tips on keeping control of humidity in the grow room:

• Make sure your room is sealed and insulated.
• Keep the room’s temperature under control. Remember, the relative humidity (RH) in the air increases as temperature decreases, and vice versa.
• Invest in high-quality fans that effectively circulate air around the room.
• Monitor your grow room for standing water, and get rid of it as soon as you find it.
• Purchase a dehumidifier that is the right fit for the grow room’s size.

Tip #3 – Best Growing Techniques for Mango Kush

For this part, we’ll skip to the end of the growing cycle. Drying and curing your Mango Kush is just as important as any other stage of the cycle.

Mold thrives in wet and dark conditions, and this particular strain is especially susceptible given its dislike of humidity. After harvesting, spread the buds across a wire rack in a room with an RH of 55-62%.

When the buds are dry (the process may take a week), put them in wide-mouth glass mason jars. Open the jars once a day at first, but eventually, you only need to check once every few days. It is up to you how long you want to cure for, but the longer you leave it, the more flavorful the taste will be.

Tip #4 – Mango Kush Yield Expectations

As you will see in #8, Mango Kush needs a specific type of climate to thrive when grown outdoors. When exposed to lots of light and heat, these plants will grow and thicken rapidly and offer a high yield. It can provide up to 14 ounces per square meter planted indoors. Outdoors, it can yield up to 16 ounces per plant and is ready for harvest by the middle of October.

Tip #5 – Feeding Mango Kush

Invest in a good CalMag supplement to ensure your Mango Kush gets ample calcium and magnesium. One trick that experienced growers use is to add blackstrap molasses to their weed. It is rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and a variety of other micronutrients.

You may have heard of compost tea, but have you heard of microbe tea? To make it, add a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses to beneficial aerobic bacteria and a water source. Purchase an air pump to aerate the mixture, and allow it to brew for 24 hours.

Tip #6 – Should You Grow Mango Kush Indoors or Outdoors?

Mango Kush is a versatile strain capable of growing well inside or outside as long as you keep the humidity levels down. Also, you must trim it regularly to keep it in shape and ensure excellent airflow.

Experienced Mango Kush growers say that the key to a healthy crop is pruning. It is best to begin pruning the plants once they take on a bushy form. Early in the vegetative stage, the plants are small enough to allow sunlight to reach almost all of their foliage. As a plant gets thicker, it takes a shape that determines where the canopy will be.

One top tip is to trim in small sessions. Doing everything at once can stress the plant.

At this stage, remove portions of the plant that block light and air from reaching the canopy. You can continue pruning until a couple of weeks into flowering. However, don’t trim a marijuana plant less than a week before you force it into the blooming stage. Pruning can cause mild shock, which slows down growth for a couple of days.

Remove larger branches first, then get rid of branches growing into the middle of the plant below the canopy. Once you have removed these branches, trim away bud sites that are not getting any light. One final tip is to trim in small sessions. Doing everything at once can stress the plant.

Tip #7 – Mango Kush’s Flowering Time

Mango Kush’s flowering time is approximately nine weeks. Novice growers are often surprised by the initial slow growth and wonder what they are doing wrong. Don’t make the mistake of loading up on nutrients in the hope that the plant will suddenly spring into life.

Eventually, it becomes a mini monster that gets too big for small grow rooms! If you want it to stay at an average size outdoors, cut the vegetative time to about three weeks. Then, transplant outdoors in July if you live at a northern latitude. Otherwise, embrace the significant return in a small space, and use trellising or the SOG method to improve the yield further.

Tip #8 – What is the Best Climate for Growing Mango Kush?

Mango Kush grows best at a daytime temperature of between 65-80-degrees Fahrenheit. It is better than most strains at handling low nighttime temperatures but doesn’t cope well with high humidity.

When growing outdoors, make sure you check your crop after heavy rainfall. This plant’s bushy nature makes it susceptible to bud rot and mold if exposed to too much moisture.
