Growing Mangolicious
Mangolicious has the typical structure of an Indica. It is short and compact but sturdy, as indicated by its thick branches and stalks. Because of this, it has better performance in farms and gardens outdoors in the northern hemisphere in spite of its preference for warmer and sunnier climates. It flowers quickly too. Growers usually see buds bloom around the second or third week of September to the middle of October. It yields between 550 to 625 grams of buds per plant once ready for harvest. In spite of this, growers may move it indoors instead where it has better protection against unpredictable growing factors such as strong winds, heavy rains, and the snow which can stunt its growth or kill it overnight.
Controllable environments allow growers to adjust important factors like humidity. Its dense foliage can sometimes harbor moisture in between its crevices which gradually develop into mold, mildew, or bud rot which can stunt its growth or kill the plant over time. Thus, thinning down the plant is essential, so air circulates in the lower nodes. It also distributes light better to other budding sites.
Two other factors that growers can control are lighting and temperature. Using high-intensity HPS lights with at least 400 watts usually improves yields per square meter. To initiate the start of the flowering period, a 12/12 lighting schedule is advised while lowering temperatures at the same time.
It works best under the Sea of Green method because of its compact structure. It rarely exceeds 90 centimeters which allow growers to cultivate at least four plants in a single square meter. The setup encourages higher yields, especially when pairing it with a soilless medium like hydroponics. Sending nutrients directly to the roots doubles both bud and trichome production. But, aspiring growers may also focus on improving flavors by using soil as a medium instead.
