Tangerine Auto
Also known as: Tangerine Autoflower, Tangerine Automatic
Tangerine Auto Strain Overview
Tangerine Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine the distinctive citrus aroma of its parent strains with the convenience of automatic flowering genetics. The strain's exact origin is somewhat unclear in public records, but it appears to have been developed by crossing Tangerine Dream or similar citrus-forward strains with Ruderalis genetics to create an autoflowering variety. This development likely occurred in the early 2010s as autoflowering technology became more sophisticated, allowing breeders to combine desirable terpene profiles with the automatic flowering trait.
The strain is characterized by its vibrant orange pistils and dense, resinous buds that often develop a slight purple hue in cooler temperatures. The plants typically maintain a compact structure, making them suitable for discreet cultivation. Tangerine Auto's most notable feature is its pronounced citrus aroma, which strongly resembles fresh tangerines or oranges, often with sweet undertones that become more pronounced during the curing process. The terpene profile is dominated by limonene, contributing to both its distinctive scent and reported effects.
As an autoflowering variety, Tangerine Auto completes its entire life cycle automatically based on age rather than light cycle, typically flowering within 8-10 weeks from germination. This characteristic makes it particularly appealing to novice growers or those seeking a low-maintenance cultivation experience. The strain has gained popularity among home growers for its reliable performance, manageable size, and consistent terpene expression, though commercial production is less common due to generally lower yields compared to photoperiod varieties.

Tangerine Auto Strain Growing Information
Tangerine Auto is considered beginner-friendly due to its autoflowering nature and resilience. The strain typically flowers automatically 3-4 weeks after germination, with total growth time from seed to harvest of 8-10 weeks. Indoor yields average 300-400 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants produce 30-60 grams each. Plants remain compact, usually reaching 60-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. Tangerine Auto performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, tolerating minor temperature fluctuations. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (direct sowing recommended), providing consistent light during vegetative growth, and maintaining moderate humidity during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to low-stress training but should not be topped due to its automatic flowering schedule.
