Sumo Tangie
Also known as: Sumo Tangerine
Sumo Tangie Strain Overview
Sumo Tangie is a relatively modern cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Tangie strain with an undisclosed heavy indica variety, often speculated to be a phenotype of Granddaddy Purple or another similar indica-dominant strain. The exact breeding history is not fully documented in public cannabis databases, but it emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine Tangie's celebrated citrus profile with more substantial physical effects and structure. The strain represents a deliberate hybridization effort to balance sativa-leaning cerebral qualities with indica-derived body relaxation.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds that exhibit a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, complementing the citrus theme, while a thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The name 'Sumo' references both the potential for large yields and the powerful, full-bodied effect profile, while 'Tangie' pays homage to its dominant terpene inheritance.
Sumo Tangie is noted for its pronounced aromatic profile dominated by sweet, tangy citrus notes reminiscent of tangerines and oranges, often with underlying earthy and skunky undertones that become more apparent when the buds are broken apart. The flavor generally translates well to consumption, offering a smooth smoke or vapor with a distinct citrus aftertaste. While not among the most historically significant strains, it has gained a following among users seeking a flavorful hybrid with balanced effects.

Sumo Tangie Strain Growing Information
Sumo Tangie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good to high, producing approximately 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants exhibit a hybrid structure, often growing to medium height with good lateral branching that benefits from training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST). They adapt well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Indoor growers should monitor humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in high humidity. The strain responds well to most nutrient regimens but may be sensitive to overfeeding.
