Mango Lotus by Bodhi Seeds
Mango-leaning sativa mother × Snow Lotus
Mango Lotus is a sativa-dominant cultivar from Bodhi Seeds, bred for its tropical aroma and uplifting effects. This strain combines a mango-forward mother with the resinous Snow Lotus male, resulting in a cultivar prized for its sparkling trichomes and balanced, clear-headed experience.
Appearance
Mango Lotus typically displays a sativa-leaning plant structure with significant stretch during flowering. Its flowers form elongated spears and towers, enhanced by the Snow Lotus lineage, which contributes to improved calyx density and resin production. The buds are often a mix of green hues with golden or cream accents, adorned with fiery orange pistils and a dense layer of silvery-white trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is dominated by ripe mango, complemented by citrus and herbal notes, with a subtle underlying incense or sweet wood scent from the Snow Lotus parentage. When consumed, flavors often include sweet mango and soft green herbs, with hints of citrus and pepper. Some phenotypes may also exhibit subtle floral or lavender nuances.
Effects
Mango Lotus is known for providing a buoyant, clear-headed experience that promotes creativity and focus. It offers an energizing daytime high that is often described as calm and productive, making it suitable for various activities without inducing heavy sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain commonly tests within a mid-to-high THC range of 18-24%, with negligible CBD levels (<1%). Its terpene profile frequently features terpinolene, myrcene, and ocimene, contributing to its distinct aroma and effects. Other terpenes like caryophyllene and linalool may also be present in varying amounts.
Growing
Mango Lotus is considered a relatively straightforward strain to cultivate, suitable for both indoor and outdoor gardens. It typically requires a flowering time of approximately 9-11 weeks and benefits from training to manage its sativa-dominant stretch. The plant is noted for its significant trichome coverage and favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, simplifying the trimming process.
Origins & Lineage
