Mandala Seeds - Hashberry

[A.N.Other]

High, hola, olá, salut, ciao, tag, dag, privet, marhaba, habari, o t’ojo meta, ote kwana, sannu, sawàt dii, senang berkenalan dengan anda, dozo yoroshiku and last but not least, yo icmag!

My recent grow of Speed Queen and Satori has convinced me to try some more of Mandala Seeds genetics so I brought myself a present and put 10 Hashberry seeds into pots. I got 9 out of 10 pop up straight from the soil and the final one after some help popping off the seed husk.

HASHBERRY

With this exceptional new strain we are building upon our successful breeding lines to offer growers an indica that combines the best of many traits. Hashberry is the unique result from a rigorous selection of desirable parents, with special attention paid to preserve the hybrid vigor our strains are so valued for. This indica will grow to a medium height and is a good choice where space matters and excellent for SOG. Hashberry develops a tight and heavy head bud with dense buds located on her firm side shoots. You will notice that many plants cover the bud leaves with a coat of THC glands and these will fill your pollinator/bubble bags generously. This strain still remains easy to manicure, and the dried buds have great “bag appeal”. The buds reveal a refreshing fruity-floral scent during the flowering period. After proper drying and maturation their fragrance transforms into a delicious hashy-berry like aroma. Hashberry not only has hybrid vigor, but is also very heat resistant and easy to grow. We recommend keeping humidity levels and watering low during the last 2 weeks of flowering to prevent any mold in the compact top buds.

In veg they were pretty consistant, there was one trifoliate but it soon grew out of it and then they grew fairly stronger with a decent shot of hybrid vigour. Two main phenos showed during veg but as mentioned before general plant structure was consistant, the difference in veg showed as a broad leaf/thin leaf trait. In flower this became a bat/spear flower structure difference though there were mid points between the broad and thin leaves and indeed the bat and spear bud structures.

Broad Leaf/Bat Flower:






Thin Leaf/Spear Flower:




Chopped these at around 65 days about 2 days after the last pictures were taken after a fairly long time of tapering off food to try and bring out the berry flavours. the aroma onthe vine is across all plants very sweet, individually the plants range in aroma quite a lot. two stand outs. first a sweet and deep blackberry aroma and secondly an intensely zingy lemon cleaner type; very tart, very strong flavour.

The spear type was the nicer to trim and the bat type a freaken pain in the ass but then I detest trimming, the only good bit is the charas!



I'll do a smoke report when these have been in the jar for a bit and when I get a new camera to replace the one that died a few days before the HB came down.

hey walkabout thanks for stopping by and for your kind words, you're a gent.

ola eugene man. when i first started browsing icmag i was impressed by the diversity of people, almost every continent has some, no matter how small, representation here so i guess i like to remember that this is international cannagraphic and despite the obvious english speaking bias of the internet and the largely north american and european membership we are all in this shit together!

hehe, i'm glad you like the threads man, i'm not sure about well written (hehe, i sometimes read them back and am shamed by my typos or spelling) but i do try and squeeze as much anecdotal experience with the type as possible but i'm probably not totally informative. i tell you though bros i love putting new (to me) stuff in the garden and i have to say despite the obvious advantages of a garden full of cuts my first love will always be a great seed line.

i reckon that she doesn't yield too bad though i didn't get the best out of her in this run. one of the spear phenos was a below average yielder but the others did ok. i don't really do weights but they will be ~1.5-2+oz sog style. some phenos will get big with some tweaking though. i'm going to play around a little with the plant with my favourite aroma so i guess we'll see! hehe

hey lucid, cats can be so cute but they can be devils when they set their cheeky little minds to it! catnip is good but the discerning feline does seem to prefer pot. 9 out of ten? hehe. good luck with the remaining ones, so far i like her but she hasn't impressed initially quite as much as the Satori and Speed Queen, the flavour has kept me interested though. after a good cure i hope i change my mind and am raving about it!

thanks for stopping by icmag.

How many, only two females out of ten ? I had bad luck on Hashberry, first pkg. ALL males, no kidding, then I ordered another through Doc, it got snagged, along with Speed Queen and another by Homeland Sec.. Then , I finally got another pkg,now i am trying five of them to see what happens,,,,, ONCE a-gain. May-be I'll get a picture.

thanks black rain was stuck without a cam for the last part of flowering but borrowed a friend and I don't think the images turned out bad, made me want to upgrade!

hey beetle, harsh man, sounds like i may have got some of your girls, i got 8 out of 10 girls on the hashberry and 8 out of ten on the Speed Queen, the only one i git poor m/f ratios is with the Satori (2 of 10) but I put that down to luck of the draw or them not liking the early nute burn they got from a lazy early pot up. Good luck with your beans.

they are dry and in the jar now and aroma is improving by the day.
