Don Tangelo
Also known as: Don Tangelo OG
What is the Don Tangelo strain?
Don Tangelo is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Don Tangelo is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant Don Shula with the sativa-dominant Tangelo. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to combine the relaxing body effects of Don Shula with the uplifting cerebral qualities of Tangelo. The name references both parent strains while highlighting the prominent citrus terpene profile inherited from the Tangelo lineage.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure and vibrant coloration. The flowers display deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a thick coating of amber trichomes and bright orange pistils. The visual appeal is enhanced by the resinous texture that gives the buds a slightly sticky quality. Don Tangelo has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile that distinguishes it from more common citrus-forward strains.
Notable characteristics include its relatively consistent growth patterns and predictable effects, making it a reliable choice for both medical and recreational users. The strain has maintained moderate popularity in specific regional markets, particularly in areas where boutique genetics are valued. While not as widely distributed as some commercial hybrids, Don Tangelo has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor complexity.

How do you grow Don Tangelo?
Don Tangelo is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, usually staying between 100-150 cm indoors but potentially growing taller outdoors. Don Tangelo responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the strain can be sensitive to overfeeding. The plants prefer a stable environment with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) during flowering. Outdoor growers should ensure protection from excessive moisture during late flowering stages.
