Mandala Seeds
Mandala #1 is a good strain for a quick crop with a
connoisseur sativa effect. The mother is a landrace strain from
South Africa, and the father is a hybrid of New Zealand purple
indica and north Indian sativa. This highly adaptable variety
works well in any growing media and can be grown indoors or
outdoors where it fares best between the 35–38 degrees N
latitudes. This international hybrid delivers resinous buds with
an inspired high in under 9 weeks of flowering.
The Mandala #1 variety has two phenotypes. One-third have
a sativa structure and grow in a classic Christmas-tree shape,
although the leaves resemble the indica-dominant phenotype,
which grows more stout and forms a thick main stem. The
indica pheno is shorter and branches close to the main stem,
making it perfect for sea of green. Both conform well to screen
of green methods or other forms of training. The Mandala #1
phenotypes grow peaceably alongside one another indoors.
Harvesting and cloning this plant is simple given its hardiness
and high calyx-to-leaf ratio.
For outdoor growers in northern climates where harvesting
by the end of September is a priority, Mandala #1 is an
excellent choice. This hardy hybrid has been grown
successfully in latitudes between 35-38° N, even in difficult
weather conditions in Canada, Switzerland, and Eastern
Europe. The combination of robust landrace genetics produces
early-flowering plants that beginners can grow. Mandala #1 is
not fussy about feeding and does well with moderate feeding or
with nothing but good horticultural grade potting soil to subsist
on. Mandala Seeds always grows organically in soil and
recommends these methods for those who want great flavors.
One of their breeding goals is to ensure flexible and stable
strains that can be raised indoors and withstand the stress of
switching between artificial lighting and sunlight. It is possible
to start your garden inside or in a greenhouse, and then move
the plants outside for flowering.
As a young flowering plant, Mandala #1 has a perfumed
woody-herbal fragrance when the stems are rubbed. Purplish
leaf stems and light red stripes along shoots should not be
mistaken for a nutrient deficiency. Despite the sativa
dominance in the high, the bud structure is more indicachunky, with a spear-shaped main bud of considerable length.
The prime buds are coated with a thick layer of trichomes and
glisten brightly with their magic promise. Some plants also
develop beautiful dark purple calyxes during mid-flowering, a
trait which they inherited from the New Zealand Purple Indica
in the paternal line.
The Mandala #1 high spreads in euphoric waves of creative
inspiration. It may start dreamy and a little spacey, but quickly
settles into a relaxed and motivated sensation, with no
racingheart or other unpleasant side effects. This strain has the
sweet fragrance of dried apples, and the purple plants also
incorporate raspberry and a touch of fresh mint. This strain is
suitable for regular medical use and shows it greatest
applications for anxiety reduction and anti-depressive effects.
