Marijuana Strain Descriptions

Tangie
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Myrcene (40-42%): earthy, herbal undertones, potentially enhances cannabinoid absorption; Beta-Caryophyllene (20-23%): peppery, spicy notes adding complexity beneath fruit-forward aromatics
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Alpha-Pinene (12-13%): fresh pine notes, potentially supports alertness; Limonene (4-5%): bright citrus punch defining strain identity; Humulene (6-7%): woody, herbaceous layers; Beta-Pinene (6%): additional woody notes; Linalool (~2%): floral nuances; Terpinolene and trace terpenes: slight sweet elements. Aromatic expression: fresh-peeled tangerines, orange rind, tropical fruit candy, subtle earthy-skunky bass notes. Intensifies dramatically when breaking flower.
The Experience- Common Effects
Enhanced creativity; racing thoughts (generally productive); increased sociability; philosophical/introspective thinking; facilitates flow states for creative work, conversation, problem-solving; euphoria; happiness; mental energy; focus; mood elevation; clear-headed high; energized feeling; mild hunger in some individuals
The Experience- Duration
Peak effects 2-3 hours with smoking/vaporizing. Gradual transition to mellow comedown remaining functional and clear-headed. Gentle descent maintaining elevated mood and mild mental stimulation for 4-5 hours total from initial consumption.
The Experience- Onset
Rapid cerebral onset within 3-5 minutes when smoked/vaporized, arriving in waves. Initial sensation: mental clarity, heightened sensory awareness (colors more vibrant, sounds more distinct). Head-focused with energetic buzz sometimes described as electric quality. Within 10-15 minutes reaches full expression. Physical component subtle: light, energizing body sensation, physically uplifted or slightly tingly, enhanced tactile sensitivity without muscle heaviness or couch-lock. Some report pleasant body warmth contributing to uplifted sensation.
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth; dry eyes (commonly reported, often intense); potential anxiety or racing thoughts in sensitive individuals; paranoia in high doses or sensitive consumers; dizziness in some cases; overstimulation if consumed in excess
Strain Type
Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Evening wind-down or pre-sleep use; situations requiring absolute sobriety; individuals highly sensitive to THC or prone to cannabis-induced anxiety; those seeking heavy body relaxation or pain relief; operating vehicles or heavy machinery; unfamiliar or potentially stressful environments for anxiety-prone individuals; first-time cannabis users
Lineage and Origins
DNA Genetics' modern reimagining of 1990s Tangerine Dream. Created by DNA Genetics and breeder Crockett. Genetics: California Orange (Cali-O) x Skunk #1. California Orange contributes citrus profile and uplifting mental effects from Humboldt region. Skunk #1 adds genetic stability, robust growth, and earthy undertones. Some documentation suggests additional unknown genetics in Skunk parent. Emerged as award-winning cultivar combining old-school California genetics with Dutch breeding techniques.
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 19-22% typical in commercial grows; exceptional batches 24-32% from specialized cultivators. CBD: minimal, usually below 1%, often ~0.5%. CBG: trace amounts 0.5-1% in some batches, not consistently present. High-THC, low-CBD profile produces distinctly psychoactive effects. Potency contributes to reputation as daytime strain for experienced users. Lack of significant CBD delivers full cerebral intensity typical of THC-dominant sativas.
Comparable Strains
Sour Tangie (direct descendant, Tangie x East Coast Sour Diesel, more pungent diesel aromatics, slightly more body-focused, 80/20 ratio); Super Lemon Haze (similar sativa-dominant citrus profile, lemon-forward, Haze genetics bring hazey/spicy complexity, longer flowering); Clementine (sativa-dominant sweet orange/citrus flavors, sweeter less tart profile, more euphoric head high, smaller commercial presence); California Orange (parent strain, more balanced ratio, less complex terpenes, harder to find commercially); Mimosa (citrus-dominant sativa, more tropical fruit notes, more euphoric, higher potency in many examples)

Thinking about growing your own cannabis?

Cultivation Resilience
Moderate resistance to common pests; reasonable mold resistance due to open bud structure; critical humidity control during flowering (maintain 40-50% RH weeks 6-9); thrives in Mediterranean-style climates with warm, dry conditions; ideal temperatures 68-80°F (20-27°C); best for regions with long, warm summers and low humidity; branches may need support in windy conditions.
Cultivation Flowering Time
9-10 weeks (63-70 days). Moderate flowering category for sativa-dominant varieties. Some phenotypes finish at earlier end, others push toward 10 weeks for full maturity.
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 450-550 grams per square meter (1.5-1.8 oz/sq ft) with proper training and optimal conditions; Outdoor: 500+ grams per plant (17+ oz) in favorable climates with proper care; excellent for concentrate extraction with high returns when processed properly.
Cultivation Plant Structure
Strong vertical growth tendencies; can stretch 2-3 weeks after switching to 12/12 light cycle; easily reaches 5-6 feet indoors without training, exceeds 6 feet outdoors; medium-to-wide branch structure with slender lateral growth requiring support during late flowering; naturally forms Christmas tree shape outdoors; benefits from training techniques indoors (LST, topping, ScrOG); responds well to 18-20 hours daily light during vegetative growth; moderate nutrient demands with sensitivity to nitrogen in early flowering; thin, slender branches may need staking or trellising.
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Dense but not rock-hard buds; prominent orange pistils against light to medium green calyxes; substantial trichome coverage creating frosted appearance; sticky to touch; immediately recognizable citrus-dominant aroma; tangerine notes pronounced enough to fill room when jars opened; proper curing 2-4 weeks minimum for full terpene development; avoid overly dry, crumbly flower or specimens lacking characteristic orange aroma.
