Tang
Also known as: Tangie, Tangerine Dream
Tang Strain Overview
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.

Tang Strain Growing Information
Tang is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks, with outdoor harvests ready by late September to early October. The plants produce moderate to high yields, especially when given sufficient vertical space to accommodate their sativa stretch. Indoor cultivation is recommended for height control, though outdoor growing in warm climates can produce exceptional results. Plants typically reach 5-7 feet outdoors and 3-5 feet indoors with training. Special considerations include providing strong support for branches during late flowering and maintaining consistent humidity levels to prevent mold in dense buds.
