Eastside Tangie
Also known as: Eastside Tangerine
Eastside Tangie Strain Overview
Eastside Tangie is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive citrus profile and uplifting effects. The strain was developed by crossing the classic Tangie (itself a cross of California Orange and Skunk) with an unknown East Coast sativa, creating a unique expression that combines West Coast citrus genetics with East Coast vigor. This combination results in a strain that maintains Tangie's signature flavor while adding enhanced cerebral effects and structural characteristics from its East Coast heritage.
Visually, Eastside Tangie typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, elongated structure characteristic of sativa varieties. The flowers display vibrant orange pistils that contrast against a backdrop of lime green calyxes, often with a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma is immediately recognizable, with a powerful citrus scent reminiscent of fresh tangerines or oranges, often accompanied by subtle earthy undertones that emerge when the buds are broken apart.
Eastside Tangie is particularly noted for its balanced effects that combine mental stimulation with physical relaxation. While primarily sativa in its genetic makeup, the strain typically provides a clear-headed, creative high without excessive anxiety or paranoia that some pure sativas can induce. The effects are often described as functional and social, making it popular for daytime use among experienced cannabis consumers who appreciate its reliable performance and consistent flavor profile.

Eastside Tangie Strain Growing Information
Eastside Tangie is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 9-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late October. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and performs well in both soil and hydroponic systems indoors. Plants tend to stretch significantly during the flowering phase, often reaching heights of 150-200 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG (Screen of Green) are recommended to manage height and promote lateral growth. Eastside Tangie is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production.
