How to grow Brooklyn Mango
Taste
Seb's take
Mango, tropical citrus and sweet tree fruit lead the nose, the diesel of her New York City Diesel parent all but bred out in favour of lemon and pineapple. The high is aroused, euphoric, happy, uplifted and giggly, from dense, resinous, distinctly hairy buds that finish in eight to nine weeks.
Where it comes from
Dr Underground built Brooklyn Mango from Ed Rosenthal Super Bud and New York City Diesel, the latter selected from a Soma Seeds original chosen specifically for a nose of mango and diesel. Interestingly, the record notes that pairing shifted in the offspring, the diesel receding, the tropical fruit stepping forward. So the name is well earned on both counts: the New York in the pedigree and the mango that came to dominate it. A considered selection rather than a lucky one.
Nose & flavour
Mango leads, ripe and unmistakable, with tropical citrus, sweet tree fruit and hints of lemon and pineapple filling in around it, the diesel of the New York City Diesel parent all but bred out in favour of the fruit. It is one of the more genuinely tropical noses in this collection, sweet and juicy throughout. A dessert of an aroma, and no mistake.
The high
The effect is bright and lively, euphoric, happy and uplifted, with a giggle running through it. At up to 21 percent THC it lifts without weighing you down, sociable daytime company rather than an evening's anchor. A good-humoured, up-tempo sort of high, exactly what a fruit-forward Sativa-leaning cross of this kind tends to deliver.
Growing it
She finishes flower in eight to nine weeks, 56 to 63 days, for indoor yields of 500 to 700 g/m², a generous return. No height is recorded, so I will leave that to your own tent. The record dwells on the buds: hard, compact and dense, coated in resin and notably hairy, covered in the fat pistils that make a plant look impressive well before harvest. A good-looking, productive grow that rewards the eye as much as the scales.
