Characteristics: Well known throughout the world for its delicious aromas of sweet green mango, its effect is clear, cerebral, lysergic and psychedelic, has great growth vigour in optimal conditions. Very resistant to continuous rains, pests and fungi.
Southern Colombian variety from the department of Huilia cultivated by local farmers. There are pleasant temperatures of 20° to 25° Celcius. The true Mango Biche was cultivated until 15 years ago in these beautiful places of the Colombian massif (mountain ranges between 1400 and 1800 metres above sea level). Now there is variability and presence of indica genes, in the few places where they can be currently found they have high percentages of hermaphrodites damaged by inbreeding. Currently the cannabis market is dominated by the sale of Dutch and hybrid genetics, and the local varieties have been sidelined and replaced due to their long growth cycles.
Mango Biche is famous throughout the world for its delicious aromas of green and sweet mango, its effect is active, clear, cerebral and long lasting. This variety has a vegetative stage tha goes from 16 to 20 weeks, its flowering is between 15 to 18 and also 20 weeks. Under natural and optimal conditions it exceeds 4 meters in height, has great vigour and resistance to pests and fungi, it also withstands large amounts of water, its structure is conical.
Most plants have a very symmetrical and cone-shaped pattern, some have very beautiful reddish and scarlet stems and petioles, with large thin and serrated leaves, leaves of 5,7,9 leaflets, maximum width of 2cm of a bright green clear colour. A phenotype has a combination in its purple green calyx in the last flowering stage. There is a phenotype that is not characterized by its strong aroma of Mango, it is a little more pungent, but without losing the mango background that characterizes this native colombian line. Its effect is cerebral and euphoric, very motivating and active, in some cases psychedelic and lysergic. The smoke is dense and with woody taste,s some very fragrant on the palate, they need a good cure to get the maximum potential.
An old Colombian Native line collected by Criposo Art in the 90s from the hands of local peasants from the 60s, 70s, offered to the public only through The Landrace Team. It has been preserved at 1500 meters during all this time.

Not pestering you specifically Deeb'r, although I am curious about this number.
When sown @ the Equator ?
Is this simply a description of how it grows 'in the wild' ?
*Cue devils advocate ,,,
Say I germinated and veg'd these under 24-hour constant light.
Say I kept that up for 8 weeks.
Flip to 8 hours light per day,,, is that plant really going to veg for another 2-3 months ?
Only asking, because I don't know.
How do I love the @Jewels
Let me count the ways.
The plan allows for 6 months for seed production @Willie with a similar sorta outline.
I don't think the numbers translate direcrly so much, thinking visual cues will be the trick to watch if there is any wiggle room in the veg and flower times.
Plan calls for 20/4 veg till I see signs like alternating nodes.
What I gather from the description these were not preserved at the equator but rather some other location of similar altitude and weather (not climate) Meaning not under equatorial daylight but still in a place with a long growing season. IDK if any of this matters cause ultimately it'll take what it takes, if they veg for that long that's what it is.
Me -
Elev. 2438m
Humidity - nowhere fucking close to where these progeneratated.
Temps - we'll manage
Give me a heads up as we get closer if anyone wants pollen from this.

I hope you are very successful, that sounds like a nice Columbia variety.
One of my most vivid and best memories is stopping on Ocean Blvd after taking the CPA exam in Long Beach for three days straight, May 1979, and smoking some "Acapulco Gold".
I believe that it was a Columbia Gold variety, not Acapulco Gold. One of the best smokes ever. Jim Belushi's grow went to Columbia looking for Mango Biche and Columbia gold seeds on the street. Haha.
Good luck.
PS - I passed all the parts of the cpa exam while smoking that CG every night.

"H"airpruning.
Almost 70 hrs of soaking 10 for 10 tails.
I know, there's only eight there.
I know, there's only eight there.
Looks like I'll be placing an order so might as well make it worth while.
ya let me see how they handle this 
Whats on your list from there?
Whats on your list from there?
Babylon caught my eye. I don't think this is on them less they agree 70 hrs was a long time to soak for <1/2" tails indicating low viability.
