Old School Mango Haze

As a seedling, Old School Mango Haze resembles Mango Smile, with a tendency to spend her early days developing structure, staying squat but throwing quick sets of laterals out that sport extra large fan leaves. These Jurassic-style leaves began to appear sharply serrated, a telltale sign of haze lineage.

Once a nice root system is established and she’s put on some vegetation, OSMH loves to stretch her legs; elongating nodes go boom as she transitions into pre-flower. In mid-to-late flower, when growth is optimised, constant defoliation is needed to promote nice airflow. Towards the end of flower, the tops of the OSMH begin to push out those classic needle-thin saw-blade leaves. A bit of fade and a stem purpling cascades through the plants.

From our breeding work over the generations, and from testers'feedback, the OSMH is a tricky feeder. She likes to remain moist, pots saturated at all times, but doesn’t want much if any food during the first 5 weeks. This can make or break the quality and output of the OSMH girls during a run.

OSMH is a particularly good candidate to train, leaf tucking, leaf manipulation and later on tactical defoliation can really help her monster along. Depending on if allowed to grow naturally or, if trained, flowers range from a stacked conical shape to thick, knuckled buds that are dense and drenched in trichomes. Trichomes, as with a lot of sativas, are finer but the coverage and terps contained are super nice. She can also produce classic sativa foxtails; but in a nice way. 82 days from sprout in soil, is usually more than enough to get her past the finish line with a nice level of trichome ripeness, and these extra days are where a lot of the extra flavour and effect comes from. Much like Mango Smile, you have a longer harvest window with these fine girls. They can be taken commercially from mid 70’s, but likewise depending on your own unique environment and grow style they could easily go to the early 90s.

On to the pièce de résistance of the Old School Mango Haze experience: her electrifying flavour and effects! Emphasis on electrifying, almost psychedelically energetic.

Flavours can be found that are a perfect balance between the effervescent and floral haze profile and an overripe juicy sweet mango with hints of cream, candied gas, lemongrass and melon. Tropical is a good buzzword in order to group the flavour profiles under one big hazy umbrella.

Effects-wise, she is uplifting, but so cerebral that the experience can shift in and out of the functionality spectrum. There's a bit of short-term amnesia at play, you get forgetful. Sometimes you feel this during consumption, the onset is so quick. Contrary to what some would consider to be panic-inducing Sativa effects, a well-ripened OSMH acts more as a mind zap. It’s not inquisitive in the slightest. You are left in a euphoric slumber. Happy and silly. It’s a party. Not one where you sit around pontificating and speaking in platitudes. On the contrary, you’ll likely dance. And for some time because the effects CARRY. This stuff will leave you hazed and confused for hours.

OSMH is the most challenging and rewarding offering in our entire library. Truly unforgettable.

To conclude, she’s not the easiest to grow, but our Old School Mango Haze is a juice that’s well worth the squeeze.
