Wow - impressive! Congrats!

Nice! I have one single 8 miles girl two weeks into flower now, along with a handful of other Mandala strains - I hope she fills out as nicely as ours has. Also running Ganesh, Mandala #1, Satori, Beyond the Brain and one non-Mandala, Utopia Haze. Ironically, my 8 Miles is the littlest of the bunch, although she's always been the best grower, along with my Ganesh. She's about the same size as the Ganesh, though she was started about two weeks earlier. Mandala #1 and Utopia on the other hand are big enough to go stomp Tokyo..

I have to say I am very disappointed in this plant now... the effects are still great but despite taking all the care I could to properly feed, harvest, and cute it... the thing has almost no smell. Cured 3 weeks now and very very little flavor or aroma. Such a good high though! C'mon Mandala, please rework this strain! It is so close to perfection.

Great looking plant chappie, I have 3 8 mile ladies 6 weeks in and they have been packing on the weight for the last week or so. All three have different smells, not crazy strong but definitely not faint all three smell delicious. One is gonna be a yielder I actually thought it was a male when they were veging because it towered over the others, the other two look to be average, one of the two average phenos has a life saver candy smell can't wait to taste it.

Thats the thing, they smell great in flower and lose it in the cure. This is my 4th run with this strain and its always the same. There are some great flavors in there, but I can only catch it on like every 10th hit. They don't smell or taste -bad- just nothing. Or very dim. Other strains grown in the same garden and cured the same way smell and taste great. Could just be my phenos I guess - and again the high is my favorite of any strain so far. I've also shared the cut with another grower who certainly knows what she is doing - hers came out with ever more blandness than mine!

w00t just ordered a pack of 8MH off the boo. first time ordering seeds and after a ton of research it was clear mandala is the seed co for me! thanks for the thoughtful descriptions of genetics, high, and growing characteristics. i want to try all these strains!

I recently finished up some 8mh in organic soil. was pleasantly surprised with the crystal coverage and overal structure of the plants. the crystal coverage, high and smell are superior to all other Mandala i've grown except for Satori. (this includes ganesh hashberry and white satin)

I have a sadhu now that is for sure the most resinous Mandala I have grown. I'll be sure to post some pics before she is harvested, in about a week. I'm still really bummed that my 8M had such a weak aroma. Wish I had the time and space to root through a couple packs of it because I really want to work with its effects.
