Description
Somango seeds
Somango seeds are a long-standing Soma Seeds classic, originally released under the working name Soma #5. The line is most commonly documented as a three-way combination of Jack Herer, Big Skunk Korean and Super Skunk, and it is one of very few cultivars with a genuinely convincing tropical fruit aroma rather than a generically sweet one.
In short: Somango is an indica-dominant hybrid, consistently listed at around 75% indica / 25% sativa, with reported THC potential of 16-21%. Because its potency sits below the modern high-THC cultivars, it is collected primarily for terpene character and heritage rather than for headline numbers.
Somango genetics and lineage
Jack Herer contributes the spicy, pine-tinged complexity and the cerebral clarity associated with that award-winning line. Meanwhile, the two skunk parents – Big Skunk Korean and Super Skunk – supply the sweet, pungent fruit base, the resin production and the dependable indica structure.
Reference databases do not fully agree on the cross: SeedFinder lists Jack Herer only as a probable parent, and at least one outlier source substitutes Big Mango for Big Skunk Korean. Nevertheless, every documented version shares the same mango-and-skunk identity, and the cultivar is additionally well known for vivid purple and blue colouration late in flower.
Somango aroma, flavour and terpene profile
The aroma is led by ripe mango and tropical fruit over a sweet skunk base, with citrus brightness and a light pine edge behind it. In addition, terpene references for this cultivar commonly cite myrcene as the dominant compound – which is consistent with the mango association, since myrcene is the same terpene found in mango fruit – supported by caryophyllene, limonene and pinene.
Flavour descriptions centre on mango and sweet tropical fruit, moving into a skunky sweetness and an earthy finish. Moreover, the fidelity of that mango note is the single reason the cultivar has stayed in demand for more than two decades.
