Strawberry Tanghulu
Also known as: Strawberry Tanghulu OG
Strawberry Tanghulu Strain Overview
Strawberry Tanghulu is a relatively new hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain's name references the traditional Chinese candied fruit snack 'tanghulu,' which typically features strawberries coated in hardened sugar syrup. Breeders aimed to create a strain that captures both the sweet berry flavors and the balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, it appears to have been developed by boutique breeders focusing on dessert-themed cultivars.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, sugar-coated appearance reminiscent of its namesake treat. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various cultivation methods.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that evolves throughout the growth cycle and curing process. Fresh plants emit a sweet, fruity scent with subtle earthy undertones, while properly cured flowers develop more pronounced berry and candy-like aromas. The strain has gained attention for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental clarity, making it suitable for daytime or evening use depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

Strawberry Tanghulu Strain Growing Information
Strawberry Tanghulu is considered a moderate-difficulty strain 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach heights of 120-150 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture retention. Some phenotypes may benefit from low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and airflow.
