Seems to be more African sat in the effect and taste, but might be the Nepal genes, if I remember well the breed.

Yup, a "canary" was included.Looks great, good job! Did you also vacuum seal a single little bud??
I was following the YT vid tut posted by @Tangwena and had great help by people in the cobbing thread
So far only tested the canary and even that "half fermented" bud had a n easy, fun + slightly trippy high
8 Miles High (same genetics/cut as my buddy @Hasch btw) dried buds, LED grown.
Yes it has that energetic clear high without any heavyness on the body and was flowering for less than 50 days! Great strain.
Just 20 minutes ago a harvested 2 other 8MH plants at my window, same cut... The first one was pollinated early with my own outdoor cross Purple Cloud which is also pretty fast in flowering. Could be an interesting new strain too! And the buds got pretty big too, even with early pollination. 3L soil.
The other one with 2L soil is not so great but i have enough weed anyway...
Had Spider mites unfortunately so all shizzle goes to the waste.

One of the best things I love about Mandala strains is they are nutrient-sensitive. It doesn't take much fertilizer to grow big plants. Plus they can take hot temperatures.

Yup. I've come to the same conclusions you have after trialing a few varieties from them.
This one I kept for some five years, Ganesh genotype #6:
Here in the teenie stage circa 2019:
I did two outcrosses and a single backcross before I had to retire her due to a root aphid infestation with a small possibility of seedborne HLVd in my room (it wasn't that).
I now have a new Ganesh female popped from a pack produced in 2021, the year Ganesh was last available.
This female is a true trifoliate. She topped herself in the seedling stage and grew three new tops - I took the smallest branch as a cutting:
I haven't flowered her out yet, but her stemrub is akin to the one I had before, just a tad bit more limey.
I popped some of my earlier crosses of Ganesh #6, and will be putting them together with this female.

Tell me about it! I have a hunch that the Swahili coast is actually a Cannabis genetics goldmine.
Monsoon winds brought South Indian, Sri Lankan and Indonesian traders there, along a route known as the Maritime Silk Road, as early as the 1st century CE, and trade continued until the end of Middle Ages.
Luckily there are people who are actively scouring the area: @Kidete a.k.a. East Africa Genes is doing preservation work in those parts of the world.
I was surprised at how small and compact Ganesh was when I grew it.Yup. I've come to the same conclusions you have after trialing a few varieties from them.

I'm growing some Safari mix seeds from Mandala now. I got the seed about 15 years ago and germinated Aug 31. Here are some live photos of some females.
