Mango Tango
Mango Tango
Also known as: Wango Tango
Overview
Mango Tango is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by Elemental Seeds, created through crossing True OG, Tangie, and Peaches genetics. This award-winning strain achieved first place at the 2015 SoCal Cannabis Cup, establishing it as a premium cannabis variety. The strain exhibits a genetic profile of approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa, resulting in a balanced effect profile that combines relaxation with mild cerebral stimulation.
The buds of Mango Tango display large, leafy, dense spade-shaped structures with minty green coloration, rich amber hairs, and a generous coating of crystal white trichomes that give them a frosty, resinous appearance. The strain's name derives from its pronounced tropical fruit aroma and flavor profile, which combines sweet mango and peach notes with citrus undertones and a subtle pine finish on the exhale. This complex terpene composition, dominated by myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene, contributes both to the strain's distinctive sensory characteristics and its therapeutic effects.
Mango Tango has gained recognition not only for its exceptional flavor but also for its potent, long-lasting effects that make it suitable for both recreational and medicinal use. The strain produces crushing indica effects that gradually build to create deep physical relaxation while maintaining an uplifting cerebral component. Its therapeutic applications are widely reported among users for stress relief, pain management, and sleep disorders, though novice users should approach with caution due to its high THC content and potential for anxiety in sensitive individuals.

Growing Information
Mango Tango is considered moderately difficult to grow, requiring controlled environmental conditions for optimal results. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 59-70 days (8-10 weeks), with some sources indicating around 60 days as average. It can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. The plant exhibits a bushy growth habit that requires adequate space for horizontal spread, with a minimum ceiling height of 6 feet recommended. Average yields range from 1-3 ounces per square foot indoors. The strain thrives in warm, controlled environments with consistent temperature and humidity levels. Growers recommend using high-quality LED lighting and organic nutrients to enhance terpene development and the characteristic fruity flavor profile. Regular pruning and low-stress training (LST) techniques are beneficial for maximizing yield potential.
