buenos dias red rider como estas...man just wanting to know your thoughts on mango bieche.i was told that this strain no longer around .have you ever grown any ...Id think there's still some growers here doing old strains but I don't see it. I work within really small circles so I've no idea what's out there. I know a few growers here but none grow sativa, mostly hyped up internet strains. View attachment 18834786
I don't see much interest in the original Colombian although I know there's a few local seed companies that sell SMG,PR and mangobiche. Most of my Colombians are from bud I collected here over the years and new varieties I stumble upon locally.

Hi there RRHowdy buddy, there's several types of mangobiche around. About a month ago a friend of mine was telling me about some nice mangobiche from Cali. But yeah I've grown a few plants from different sources and had nixed results. But it's an equatorial long flowering plant that has moderate potency. I haven't grown a lot of it so could be some exceptional phenotypes. In 2019 I grew some mangobiche from the national university in Bogota. I had two nice females and pollenated them with an ACE Bangi Haze and made seeds. In 2020 I grew out a few seeds but didn't find anything that stood out.
I've got some grower friends in Cachipy that grow their version of mangobiche, I wasn't impressed.
But most definitely mangobiche around.

i agree i think there are important genes that are carryovers from primal monoceious times located in these plants. and extra female traits in the male could also be good. im not sure that a male showing pistils would automatically create females forming balls . and the possible diversity which is kept could give a wider range of females to select from then at that point sexual stability evaluation could come into play. plus there might be some freaky diversity created when the male selfes itself we shall seeDJ Short believes those male hermies are great for breeding with. The rationale does make some logical sense, but I'm too lazy to dig up the article I read. The short of it was that using those hermie males increases the amount of female genes in a population.
Nice plants, btw.
