Tangerine
Also known as: Tangerine Dream, Tangerine Kush
What is the Tangerine strain?
Tangerine is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and fruity flavor profile.
Tangerine is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain celebrated for its distinctive citrus aroma and flavor profile that closely resembles fresh tangerines. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis historians, but most sources indicate it was developed through selective breeding of citrus-forward sativa varieties, possibly involving California Orange and other citrus strains. Some versions of Tangerine have been stabilized by different breeders, leading to variations in the exact genetic makeup and effects.
The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized buds with a dense structure and vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the light green foliage. The trichome coverage is typically moderate to heavy, giving the buds a frosty appearance. Tangerine gained popularity in the early 2000s as part of the citrus strain trend and has maintained a following among users who appreciate its clear-headed effects and pronounced flavor profile. The strain has won several awards at cannabis competitions, particularly for its flavor and aroma qualities.
Notable features of Tangerine include its exceptionally strong citrus scent that can fill a room when the buds are broken apart, and its relatively fast flowering time compared to other sativa-dominant strains. The terpene profile is dominated by limonene, which contributes to both the citrus aroma and many of the strain's reported effects. While primarily known as a recreational strain, Tangerine has developed a reputation among medical cannabis users for its mood-enhancing properties without heavy sedation.

How do you grow Tangerine?
Tangerine is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is relatively short for a sativa-dominant strain, typically 8-9 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be tall and lanky with significant vertical growth, often reaching 5-6 feet indoors and up to 8 feet outdoors. Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to manage height. Tangerine is susceptible to mold in humid conditions, so proper ventilation and humidity control are essential, particularly during flowering.
