Mostly Mandala

[The Hemp Goddess]

I haven't grown the Ganesh yet.

I really liked the Point of No Return--great taste, smell and a laid back high.

I was not impressed with the Safari Mix. They are experimental crosses--sometimes you get a great one and sometimes not. I do not know what they are crossing at this time.

I also like the 8 Miles High--another up type high, my favorite kind.

I finally got a female Beyond the Brain (first 4 were male), which just went into flowering on the 1st. So that one is a couple months down the line. It is a Satori cross so I am anxious to try it and see if I like it as much as my Satori.

I will also keep running the Pineapple Express (not a Mandala strain).

THank you so much for your reply.
Is the pineapple Express a Cindy of somekind?
Do you like any of the above better then satori? I have your taste in cannabis.

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

I believe that the genetics behind Pineapple Express are secret.

The Satori is my favorite. I will be looking forward to trying the Beyond the Brain as I like Satori so much. But for a laid back high, the Point of No Return is really nice.

Rosie I read in Hightimes that the PEx was a C99 pineapple pheno that was selfed... This is why i was curious as to how it compare to joey weeds C99...

 

[Rosebud]

Can you tell me about that Joey? I don't even know what i am talking about, except I have heard on here for a couple of years how great Cindy is. Then i guessed that Cindy is Cinderella? I just like speedy pot, that is why my questions.

Love yer new quote JAAM ...:rofl:

Cindy...C99...Cinderella. Joey's C99 was the first strain I ever ran hydro. I loved it and kept it in my garden for several years. I never had a great pineapple pheno of Joey's, but it was still an outstanding up high. Some (amateurs :giggle: ) found it a little too uppity and racy, but I loved it. I personally have found the PEx to be quite a bit more a laid back kind of smoke. I like it in the evening with friends. Enough of an up to carry on intelligent conversation, play games, cook meals, but it still is a quite kick back stone.

JAAM--interesting info on the PEx. I have one in flowering that is at 48 days today. It has a nice large cola that is showing a few clear with mostly cloudy trichs. As I remember, I ran Joey's C99 about 7-8 weeks. It seems to be ripening a little slower than my last one, but I had some trouble controlling the temps when we got early very cold temps here.

Rosebud, I have to say that as much as I loved the C99, the Satori kind of took her place--she is my current sweetheart.

Are the mandala strains as light feeders as their site says they are? I have a few ganesh started, they're about two weeks old.

Rose Joey Weed is a breeder... From what I read he makes Cinderella 99 F2 seeds using original Brothers Grimm Cinderella 99 seed stock... which is why they are sold out alot I believe...

Hey there THG! Congrats on another successful harvest! :icon_smile:

I just ordered some Satori seeds and I'm super stoked to try them out. It looks like you really know what you're doing when it comes to Mandala!

Do you have any advice for a novice grower about this specific strain? I will be posting a journal as soon as they come and they are popped

Thanks in advance! I'll be looking through your threads and posts to gain some more knowledge

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

I have found that Mandala strains do not like high doses of nutrients. I try to keep my ppms around 1200. However, I have also found that they are "thirstier" than some of my other strains--they take more water or nute solution. I also fim virtually all of my plants, regardless of strain. I will be curious to see how Beyond the Brain smokes as this is a Columbian Sativa/Haze x Satori cross.

Me too, can't wait to hear. A picture would be great too.

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

I will post some pics up when I am into the closet again. The BTB is a rangy sativa type of girl.

 

[bubba902]

i love your grows THG.
always daaaank!
i gotta give a look into em!

 

[bubba902]

Any updates?

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

Bubba, I'll try to get a pic up of the BTB. She is at 11 weeks now and getting close. She is not the short compact plant Mandala said she would be. I do have one that is though. I don't think the Christmas pheno is going to take as long to flower either. This was a new strain by Mandala with a Satori parent. I guess that it is not quite stabilized yet--it is hard to believe the difference in the size of the 2 plants.

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

This is the top cola from the BTB. I will be harvesting her a little at a time.

Of the 3 Satori I have going now, 1 is a girl, 1 is a boy, and I don't know what the other one is yet, but it is looking a little girly.

 

[dman1234]

I had 2 satori and they both are showing to be girls, im happy.

:ciao: THG, hope all is well!! Great cola, congrats!!! I am watching my satori break ground and reach for the lights, 5 of 5 sprouted!!
