I ran three satori bubblegum in a 3Ć3 grow along with 9 other mandala plants. Vedged 28 days the sativa was easy to controll with some bending. Plants are heavy yeilders. Wonderful bubblegum smell with great bag appeal. Another mandala strain that I will definitely grow again.
I havent ran 8 mile high in over ten years. Never had enough room in the past to really give it a fair shake. So I tried seeds from 2010 not knowing if they where still good and..... 3 out of 3 popped! One plant started preflowering after only 4 weeks! male flowers so that plant was removed. The other two where phenos. One was a branchy short plant the other was definitely an open taller plant. They where both strong plants. Flowered them out once. Nice buds on both plants. easy to harvest.
After curing one plant had a strong smell of Strawberry and one had a lesserstrawberry smell but also something fuel like too. The smoke is great and the effect is a up high. good for morning and daytime.
I decide to keep only one of the 2 so i kept the shorter one and let the cats have the other!! lol
However... I suddenly decided to i liked the taller one!!! By that time the cats had had there way as well as me not watering her for days. But this plant wanted to live. After cutting her back SEVERLY leaving just the tiniest of new growth showing she is rocking and rolling giving cuts and currently flowering out. ( i call her ole stumpy! ) good plant, strong genes!
XX Im also including a photo of a Ganesh plant that came from a 17 year old seed. she a slow grower. havent sexed her yet XX
I finally had a chance to run some Purple mandal this past year. Having been a fan a seeker of Mandala #1 purple pheno it was on my list! I popped 3 beans and got 2 males and Female. Not setup to do any experiments i tossed the males. If possible i will include photos which will show off her beauty. Harvesting was extremely easy. I have harvested this plant twice. harvesting at 60 and at 65 days. both harvests have been curing for at least1 1/2 months. Burns great. The high is a mandala high....slow creeper till you realize you've been lost in thought clenching a unlit roach!
I wish it had a stronger ( much ) terpene expression. Smell and taste is there but very faint. which i have experienced with the mandala#1 at times. This was only one plant, not a keeper, Not sure what generation these seeds are so im not sure of the pheno range there is, but this strain is worthy of a continued search. IMHO
Getting started on the outside grow for next summer. 5 of 5 seeds popped and are doing well. Planted directly in soil as recommended for fresh seeds. Hoping this strain will finish before the elements of the Appalachian mountains can destroy them. Can't wait to leave a full review in a year!
I received Kalichakra as a freebie and I'm glad I got to try that strain.
Germinated 2 seeds with 100% germination rate, one was male, one female. The male one showed it's **** while it was on a 18/6 light schedule, but only one branch. Never had that, but thanks Mr. :D
It was easy to grow, doesn't need a lot of nutrition and also doesn't like too much. If you overfed her, it's not a big issue, just water it with water only for the next 2-3 times and it grows fine. My plant had really dark green buds, with lots of orange pistils. Nugs are dense and hard.
During the grow it only had a slight smell, very citrus-y.
I dried it in a wine fridge for 2 weeks, trimmed it and cured it for another month in the fridge. The aroma and smell it has now is amazing. Really strong like red forest berries with a citrus undertone. I absolutely love it and friends are amazed by it as well.
The high doesn't knock you out at all, if anything it gives you energy, inspires you and just makes you feel good and euphoric. A bit more 'confusing' than my beloved 8 Miles High, but still in my top 5 strains I've grown so far (and I do that for years).
Great work, Mandala seeds! š Me and my plant thank you with a little bud heart it made ā¤ļø
Started the Kashmir. 5/6 seeds germinated. Healthy vigorous plants with no issues. Growing in organic soil indoor and they get big fast. Got one trifoliate and one quadrifoliate. Plants are sexing in 12/12 light and minimal stretching.
Amazing. Gorgeous plant which got so tall I had to add 3 feet to my fence to keep it from being visible from the road. Handled 106F temps all through June without a care. Only trouble I had was the side branch colas got so thick & heavy that a couple broke in windstorms - my bad for not staking earlier. Ended up ok though, as those two early harvest branches were absolutely electric. Got my fall vegetable garden dug with all the energy.
Been purchasing Manadala seeds since 2007 and never a problem. Have not grown 8 Miles High yet, but will soon. Mandala plants always have natural vigor, so expecting no issues. Fast international shipping is a plus.
First time using Mandala seeds, shipping was fast, discrete and stealthy. Appreciate the freebies, thanks again Mandala :)
First heard of Satori years ago from Rebel Seeds who explained a tripping psychedelic experience from Satori. I'd been searching ever since and finally had found Mandala who truly lived up to their reputation. Looking forward to trying the new limited edition Satori BG hybrid to preserve and breed with some original Satori i still having waiting! Exciting times. Thanks Mandala!
Thanks and best wishes to everyone at Mandala Seeds for everything they are doing, you all are fantastic. Best shop, best genetics
Start: I starteted late this year at 21.6. First i thought maybe to late to get a decent harvest. But Mandala did a great job in make Superlicious a tough strain. From 10/10 Seeds poped out, just in soil with a small green house on top.
Grow conditions: The Plants where grown on a balkony with half day light, Sun facing west and a Glass Roof. Summer was nice but from September on it was a pretty cloudy,rainy and cold weather. The smaller ones been 1,65 cm with Pod. I gave them my best earth all Organic.
Plants: Super Strong Grow with good Mold, Pest and Cold Resistance.
I got 1. Big and 3. Medium sized plants and 2 big Males.
2 Grils and one Male Purpeld other stay green. All Plants look fantastic until the End even with Thrips taking advantage of the Flowering stage.
Harvest and Quality: I got a huge harvest for my conditions with very sticky and good smelling Buds. Very easy to cure and nearly zero Budmold.
High: The smoke is fantastic with bubblegum, limone, grape taste.
The High is very strong and long lasting. Allthough very clear after 15 min the High starts to expanse and last for nearly 2-3 Hours.
With a more mood lifting, happy, cerebral and little psychedelic notes. But be aware it definitly hits you.
Im miss these fantastic Plants they made my Day like a little Zen garden.
Im a Big Fan of Mandala now :) great work everything like described and better.
What i loved most is the clear high, makes me active. Easy to grow also indoor. It was a pleasure to grow this heirloom strain from mexico.Nice smell and taste, exotic. I think would be interesting to breed with this one. A special thanks to Mandala seeds for making this rare strains available to us :) Love Pura Seeds
Wenn man von klassischer Mandala-Eleganz spricht, dann ist die Speed Queen lƤngst kein Geheimtipp mehr ā sie ist eine kleine, robuste Legende. Diese Sorte steht wie kaum eine andere fĆ¼r Effizienz, StabilitƤt und Charakter ā und liefert genau das, was ihr Name verspricht: eine schnelle, unkomplizierte BlĆ¼te mit erstaunlich ausgewogener Wirkung.
Unheimlich robust - Ich habe sie diesmal in einer kalten Garage stehen ...
Einfach super !
PPV started turning purple end of August, was partially harvested on September 7th as we are going into a wet period. Very sturdy, never complains, earned her name. Great smell and potency. I always have some plants in my garden! 2026 I will top it.
California Dream is EXCELLENT this season (2025). I certainly hope it stays in your roster.
I can not wait to try the pineapple version of Satori. I've grown a lot of your veteran lineup up including the discontinued White Satin. Your sativas are a huge hit with friends who have only experienced the knockout, lay me down to sleep high of the Indica. Back in the day, when I didn't know what I was doing, I made a dozen large Satori cupcakes with a little over half a pound of mostly shake and a little bud. Most spent 12 hours immobilized in a mega high. Over 13 years have passed, and they are still raving about those cupcakes. Made my first concentrate a month ago. Satori and Beyond the Brain in a concentrate will be a mind numbing experience.
I make my plants Bonsai Japan Dwarf style to hide them. I grow them like vines running horizontally to the ground. Harvest time was Oct 1-18. Mexicoatl is the best in my grow, sticky flowers and nice flavor. The high reminds me of Hawaiian Colombian.
Two seeds of mandala #1 were germinated indoor and then transplanted in the forest. During the seedling stage mandalas had vigorous first and secondary growth. Already in an early vegetative growth stage hairs appeared on the internodes. The mandalas #1 developed a diamond shape. Long side branches capable of holding elongated colas. The airy structure with a low leaf ratio ensured a throughout radiation.
Satori is one of the best Sativas hands down. Its quick to finish, and easy to grow. Its uplifting effects is why I love it. Ive bought my first pack almost 15 years ago. Kept the clone for many years. Lost it moving out of state so Im back for another pack.
