About Mango

Mango is a South Indian landrace sativa that grows primarily in the tropical regions of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Unlike most landraces named after their origin, this strain is named after its distinctive aroma — a sweet, tropical mango scent driven by high levels of myrcene and limonene. The plants are classic tropical sativas: tall, long-flowering, with airy buds. Mango ganja was traditionally sun-cured and exported through the port of Madras. The effects are uplifting, creative, and euphoric with a clear-headed focus. Mango genetics were carried out of India by Hippie Trail travelers and were used in early hybrid projects.

The Story & Lineage Origin

Mango was one of the most sought-after Indian landraces along the Hippie Trail. Unlike the hashish-producing varieties of North India, South Indian ganja was prized for its floral quality and unique aromatics.

The distinct mango terpene profile was so pronounced that it became the strain's name. Mango genetics were among those collected by seed hunters and brought to the West.

The strain's influence can be found in several modern hybrids that carry tropical fruit terpene profiles.
