This particular weed packs a pretty high THC concentration and is recommended for smoking by experienced stoners. The strain is wonderful in terms of aromas and effects and has been chosen to spawn a new line of cannabis hybrid cultivars under the name of “Mandarine.” Most of them are associated with spicy and sweet flavors.
Fragrances and Flavors
Mandarin Sunset carries a combo of aromas; however, the prevalent scent is citrus with peppery notes. The sabinene terpene is responsible for this odor. Users report skunk notes as the bottom layer of aromas due to ocimene, with sweet undertones due to myrcene.
Mandarin Sunset Strain Effects
The onset of action caused by the Mandarin Sunset weed strain may seem light to some consumers. Hooked on this effect, people can consume too much of it. The high starts slowly, but it is long-lasting and can make users relaxed for hours. Feeling unfocused and happy, smokers find their pains and aches vanish. Specific improvements are reported in the digestion system since the cultivar increases appetite. Patients diagnosed with inflammation and muscle spasms may also feel relief after smoking.
This marijuana affects everyone differently and may cause negative reactions in some individuals:
- Dry eyes
- Drowsiness
- Fatigue
If you overdose, nothing will keep you from slipping into couch-lock. It may help people who try to combat insomnia but can be surprising for those unprepared for the severe Indica zone they enter.
Info for Growers
Experienced gardeners love to grow the Mandarin Sunset strain, while this process can be complicated for novice growers. One of the reasons is its high stature. The plants tend to grow tall and can amount to 60’’-80’’ for indoor conditions and more than 90’’ in outdoor settings. Typically, the blooming phase lasts 53-66 days. From seed to harvest, the flowers are ready for chopping in 72 days. The strain yields 1-2 oz./ft2 indoors and 15-20 oz./plant outdoors. The bushes are characterized by green and purple leaves, reddish hairs on the buds, and beautiful flowers with a rich color palette akin to the sunset it was named for. You can find the seeds in online stores.

I picked up some Mandarin Sunset Diamonds this morning and it’s great. I taste a very strong citrus after taste and the effects are long lasting and just solid af.
The market is flooded with citrusy weed so I thought this is just another one lemony, spicy kind . Luckily I was intrigued enough to try it. The best way I could describe it is charming and mystical. Also, I can understand why people praise the buzz. I enjoyed every session and hope to have more in the future.
If I have to recommend one strain, suitable for mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Potent, but not too strong. With both energizing and calming effect. Good for your body and mind, a long-lasting quick hitter with great aroma and taste… then I would most certainly recommend Mandarin Sunset. You’re welcome!
Indeed… the growers outdid themselves with this one! This strain is very close to perfection. Everything about it is so profound and elegant. I like to roll the joint, pour some wine and relax with happy thoughts. Always a very positive effect and slow calm down.
They mixed it soooo bloody well! Perfect Indica dominant mixture, with a fruity flavor and just the right amount of THC to give you that special feeling of calmness and serenity. You can use it solo or with someone, the effect is a bomb evey time!
I dont like Indica strains much, but this one have blown my mind.
Checked the THC on wikileaf… THC 23% and its perfect concentration for me. But in this review THC is 14 - 16%, why could there be such a difference?
Mandarin sunset is great but unfortunately hard to find in stores or online.
The aroma is out of this world. And... it hits well too!
BEAUTIFUL! You cant find better then this one, I promise!
I adore the way great orange scent travels through my house!
It has to be some kind of MAGIC, there is no other explanation for this strain.
Love its fluffy buds, they look and smell like summer sunset!
too light, felt almost nothing, did not help from my headache …
Amazing flavor! very well rounded weed
tropical vibes
Another great hybrid
