ICMag with help from Landrace Warden and The Vault is running a NEW contest in November! You can check it here. Prizes are seeds & forum premium access. Come join in!
Blue - you have some fabulous first class smoke and variety to help you through the hot summer months!
Quick question - what size jars are you using? I can get mason jars in sizes form 1/2 pint to 1/2 gallon, but can't wrap my head around the best size to use.
Thanks! :friends:

MGJ, I use jars with cork lids, and I buy them in two sizes, a smaller size for the smaller buds, about half the size of a "standard" mason jar (sorry, I've been living in Europe so long I can't envision pints size-wise anymore 
)...the large jars are reserved for the larger colas. You don't want to use too big a jar as too much weed packed in too large a jar could cause mold and bud rot issues, and large colas placed in the larger jars should not be packed in at all, but should have some space (thus air) between them for the same reason :wink:

Do you find yourself looking at every item in every store you go to for some type of positive value in the growing chamber? Damn... what I've been reduced to... lol
Thanks Blue - very helpful! Gonna go hunt some down...

For the record....yes I do zep....LOL....I find myself roaming the stores cheek to jowl with the old ladies and while they may be looking at the handy household item, seeing just that, I look at the handy household item thinking WOW now that would make an excellent this or that for the grow
MGJ you're very welcome, glad to be of help!

roll call? Present!
Time for some budshots...I don't want to anticipate too much, but last Friday some friends came over for a preliminary taste test of the new harvest. We tasted the first Mango to be harvested (in the jars just over two weeks on Friday) and man oh man....what a BOMB! The final smoke report will be up in about two weeks, but in the meantime here's a preview:
Two weeks cure left her with a smell of sugar, lime tang and underlaying skunkiness with some spice thrown in. The taste....what a surprise!!!! Shhhhhh....don't tell the old stoners or I'll have 'em all beating down my door....I'll be damned if it doesnt taste just like old school Columbian Gold, that sun-soaked earthy taste I remember so well, only the Mango packs a powerful punch of oranges on the back of the tongue too, with a little bit of Haze spiciness thrown in.
The buds are entirely sativa in appearance, just a bit less airy than pure sat buds, but definitely not tight indica style. The smoke was mellow as could be, went down like a charm, expansion level moderate. The high is potent and undefinable. I first started feeling it coming on in waves at the second hit, at the fourth hit it body SLAMMED me like a heavy duty indica, but at the same time I was lucid and felt like I could/would/wanted to get up and do things but my body did not agree, mind racing a mile a minute. Seems this particular Mango gives you the finest of sativa highs while at the same time annihilating you completely with a body stone
I was wide awake when I went to bed, but sleep hit me without my even being aware of it, slept like a baby 
Check out the trich coverage:
Full smoke/grow report to come for this plant in about two weeks, I'll link y'all from here when its up...
Hope you enjoyed!

You'll find 'em for sure Leeroy, only they will more than likely be heavy on the indica side of things....all the Mangos I've seen grown out except for mine are indica dom. That's why these crazy tall sativa bitches threw me for such a loop. Damn fine weed though, that's for sure!

I bet it is fine weed indeed!
Im getting excited about seeing all these different strains and reading the great reports about them.....makes me want to grow a jungle!
hehe these new smilies are addictive sometimes!

I know what you mean about the smilies...its getting tough to find the appropriate one!
MGJ, hi :smile: Two weeks more or less to first Mango Smoke Report (should be more than one). I had three different phenos and I want to document the killer sativa pheno that finished 20 days after the rest of them. The one pictured is the plant that finished first, at 72 days. Two weeks also to the LUI report and I'll be throwing up some pics of her buds shortly :wink:
