How to grow Deep Mandarine
THC 8% 
Flowering 55 - 60 days 
Yield 500 g/m² Taste
Seb's take
Bred from Sugar Black Rose and the high-CBD Carmen, and it wears the citrus lineage proudly — orange and fruit dominate the nose, true to the name. Low THC at 4 to 8%, the effect is gentle, relaxed, and happy rather than heavy, a compact plant built for CBD over ceiling-height ambition.
Where it comes from
Delicious Seeds set themselves the task of crossing their popular strains with Carmen, a high-CBD line, and this was their first real success at it. Sugar Black Rose supplies the other half, and the citrus that gives her both her taste and her name. She lands 60 percent indica, but the headline is the cannabinoid balance: a full 15 percent CBD against only a modest slice of THC. A CBD plant first, a recreational one second.
Nose & flavour
Orange, plain and pronounced, with a broader citrus and fruit sweetness rounding it out. The mandarin that gives her the name is right there on the nose. A bright, juicy aroma to match the frosty, CBD-rich buds. Of everything about her, the citrus is what stands her apart, and the record makes no secret of it.
The high
With THC sitting at just 4 to 8 percent against 15 percent CBD, the effect is gentle by design: relaxed and happy without any real ceiling to climb. A soft, clear, level sort of calm rather than anything heavy or heady. One for those who want the character and the citrus without much of a lift, and easy to enjoy at any hour.
Growing it
A medium-sized plant with plenty of branching, staying compact and sturdy; she responds well to defoliation and low-stress training to open the canopy. Flowering runs fifty-five to sixty days, around fifty-eight, for 500 g/m² indoors, or up to 1000g per plant outdoors harvested in mid-October. Grow her for the CBD-rich, frosty flowers rather than the modest THC. Forgiving and well-behaved, and a tidy introduction to a high-CBD plant.
