Pato 1 by Kannabia Seeds

The breeder has always kept a Mango mother plant (a hybrid Skunk strain with a tropical fruit smell and flavor) since starting out in professional growing, because in their view it's one of the best plants for commercial cloning. It produces lots of viable clones on every branch, giving plenty of strong, hardy cuttings. The survival rate is always above 95%. Selecting a commercial male to improve the strain through inbreeding crosses (IBL, an inbred line that keeps the traits stable) was one of the big achievements of Kannabia's breeding team. The result: a Skunk-Mango with late flowering. To adapt the flowering time to indoor growing, they crossed it with an Afghan Mazar male, which also adds extra yield. The result is a cross that surprises every grower who has tested it. It's one of those plants that make big flowers all along every stem it produces. During vegetative growth (the stage before flowering) it's quite sensitive to high EC levels (how strong the nutrient solution is) and to root saturation. In flowering, on the other hand, you can reach high EC levels: up to 2.4 with coco fiber and up to 2.8 in hydroponic systems, without fear of locking up the roots. You should, however, flush the roots every week. Using molasses (or carbohydrates) is recommended to raise brix sugar levels, which are responsible for flavor, smell and quality trichome production. Outdoors, this strain tends to grow taller than 3 meters, but it's very easy to stake and to train in a SCROG (a net that keeps the plant flat and even), covering several square meters. As it carries a lot of Afghan genetics, this strain is ready in the last week of September. It's worth leaving it one more week so it ripens properly. Indoors it will be ready to harvest in 9 weeks (65 days). Keep in mind that this strain produces big, compact flowers, so it's important to keep the humidity in your grow room below 40% during flowering, to prevent fungi such as canker, botrytis (bud rot) or powdery mildew. The fresh smell is sour mango, and when smoked it's a mix of tropical fruits with a musky touch. At the end of flowering the buds take on colors that recall mango skin.
