Tang
Also known as: Tangie, Tangerine Dream
What is the Tang strain?
Tang is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Tang is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain celebrated for its intense citrus aroma and flavor profile reminiscent of fresh tangerines. The strain was developed by DNA Genetics in collaboration with Reserva Privada, emerging from a cross between California Orange and a Skunk hybrid. Its development focused on amplifying the citrus terpene profile while maintaining a clear-headed, energetic sativa effect. Tang gained significant popularity after winning the Cannabis Cup in 2011, cementing its reputation in the cannabis community.
Visually, Tang plants produce medium to large-sized buds with a dense structure and vibrant orange pistils weaving through light green calyxes. The flowers are typically coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's most distinctive feature is its powerful citrus scent, which often fills the room when the buds are broken apart. The flavor follows through on the aroma promise, delivering a sweet, tangy tangerine taste with subtle earthy undertones on the exhale.
Tang is known for its relatively fast flowering time compared to other sativa strains, typically ready for harvest in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. The plants tend to stretch significantly during the flowering phase, requiring careful height management in indoor setups. Outdoor cultivation is successful in warm, Mediterranean-like climates where plants can reach their full potential height of 5-7 feet. The strain has become a parent to numerous hybrid varieties due to its desirable terpene profile and balanced effects.
