I am only in veg stage. So I don’t have a lot of info. First I dampened soil place seedling on top then lightly I mean lightly dusted it with soil. A light watering and boom all 5 germinated within 24-48 hours. It’s been over 10 years since I last grew. Do it for the beauty of the plant. A word to the wise LED HAVE COME A LONG WAYS SO BE CAREFUL. When they say 24-36” away especially seedling/early veg stage THEY MEAN IT. It’s not like it was ten years ago when you could lay your plant against a led. So I scorched my plants. Figured they wouldn’t recover. OHHH WAIT THESE ARE MANDALA GENTICS. Duh of course they will recover. Raised the light left them for about 10 days untouched. Which is unheard of in the hps metal halide world. Came back and was blown away they recovered like nothing ever happen to them. TRUST ME PEOPLE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING EVERY STRAIN CAN DO. Mandala has perfected their strains to withstand drought and other harsh climates. It took me awhile and many years to finally trust that it’s okay to see your plant a little droopy then it’s time to slightly water. Mandala strains thrive on such an environment. Of the 5 planted one is a beast. Looks like it could beat up every other plant. So I expected a male. Yet to my surprise there was that pretty little sac with that beautiful pitial white hair coming out. I believe one of the others is a male no **** on the other 3 as of yet. I am so psyched to see the purple blends. I know this may be taboo but I don’t like smoking at all or the it makes me to paranoid. But I do love the beautiful plant itself and mandala strains are like a gift from heaven. 10 years ago when I first tried them with my dad it was our first real strain from a real bank. We tried a few others and where disappointed. I’ve tried beyond the brain, mandala number 1 , hashberry which will just make your eyes melt by looking at the perfectly manicured buds, , satori, a fav of my friends. And more yet my mind is going blank oh ya 8 miles high and I don’t even smoke the stuff lol.

I guess I have only tried a few other strains growing from other suppliers so I can’t speak to confidently but I will say you will be blown away by the quality that mandala offers. I just hope my strained of purple mandala is very purplish

Habe 2 purple mandalas am start, sehr anfängerfreundlich!!! Standen ca 14 tage drinne unter 2x esl 13w, danach aufm balkon mit schlechtem Wetter, trauermücken usw. Nach ca 45tagen kamen sie ins zelt unter 150w, hatten also ca 60 vegitage. Nun ists erst Bt 30 und ich habe 2 phänos (den indica mit fetten knospen, harzbesatz und dunklen blättern) und den sativa phäno mit luftigeren knospen, noch kein harzbesatz und höherem wachstum sowie hellere blätter (hab bom sativa phäno hier keine bilder)

Sobald sie rein kamen ins zelt ca ab tag 45, bekamen sie Dünger (calmag, biocanna booster und rhizotonic) , seit blüte umstellung auch biocanna flower (immer volle dosierung, ohne Probleme), habe jede Menge lst und hst gemacht mit biegen, binden, toppen, wurde Super vertragen! Bin sehr gespannt in den nächsten 30-50Tagen auf das endergebnis, würde hier dann einen 2. Update posten :).

Der indica phäno riecht extrem Gut!
Wirklich solider alles verzeihender Power Strain, für meinen 1. Grow bin ich Begeistert. Immer wieder Mandala :p Cheerio

I could not be happier with the product! All but one seed germinated and the growth has been incredibly rapid and robust. Nearly all turned out to be female and the flowering cycle kicked it at the perfect time for my outdoor grow. They are not yet finished but the bud formation and resin production is fantastic! cant wait to see the final product!
