Colombian Mango Biche Strain Overview
Colombian Mango Biche (pronounced bee-cheh) is a pure sativa landrace strain that originates from the mountainous regions of Colombia, specifically within the departments of Tolima, Valle del Cauca, and Huila. It is part of the broader family of Colombian landrace strains that developed naturally over generations, adapted to their unique environment with minimal human interference. This strain represents an old Colombian native line collected by Criposo Art in the 1990s from local peasants who had preserved the genetics since the 1960s and 1970s, and has been maintained at approximately 1500 meters above sea level. The name "Mango Biche" translates to "green mango," referring to the strain's distinctly tropical, citrus-forward terpene profile that mirrors the sharp, tangy aroma with a spicy edge found in unripe mangoes commonly sold on Colombian street corners.
The buds display long neon green nugs with dark leaves, purple undertones, bright amber hairs and a coating of purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. Laboratory analysis has shown that Colombian Mango Biche samples demonstrate a 98% similarity to known Colombian landrace genetics, confirming its authentic heritage. This strain gained international recognition during the 1970s cannabis trade when it was often categorized under "Colombian Gold" when shipped abroad, becoming foundational genetics for many modern sativa strains through crossbreeding projects in California and Hawaii. Though not widely known by name today, its genetic fingerprint lives on in popular modern strains, as several breeders have used Colombian genetics—particularly Mango Biche—for its exotic terpene profile and electric high.

Colombian Mango Biche Strain Growing Information
Colombian Mango Biche requires an extended flowering time of approximately 15-18 weeks (105-130 days) and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse environments. Plants can reach heights of 3-4 meters in optimal outdoor conditions, with some specimens exceeding 4 meters with adequate vegetative time. This strain is best grown outdoors but can be cultivated indoors with proper training and 14 hours of darkness from the start. As with most landrace varieties, there is potential for intersex traits that can manifest under stress. Best results are achieved when grown in environments similar to their native Colombian origin at high altitudes (around 1500 meters) with warm, humid conditions. The plants develop a highly branched structure topped with long vines of flowers, resulting in high final yields. This strain is recommended for experienced growers due to its long flowering period and specific environmental requirements.
