Tangerine Diesel
Also known as: Tangie Diesel, Tangerine Sour Diesel
Tangerine Diesel Strain Overview
Tangerine Diesel is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two popular strains: Tangerine Dream and Sour Diesel. This strain was developed to create a flavorful, energizing hybrid with pronounced citrus characteristics. The exact origins of Tangerine Diesel are somewhat unclear, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed similar phenotypes, but it gained popularity in the early 2010s as part of the citrus-flavored strain trend that swept through cannabis culture.
The strain is characterized by its vibrant orange pistils and dense, resinous buds that often display a frosty coating of trichomes. The nugs typically have a medium to dark green coloration with occasional purple hues depending on growing conditions. Tangerine Diesel plants tend to be tall with a somewhat lanky structure, inheriting the stretchy growth pattern common to many sativa-dominant varieties. The strain is particularly noted for its strong terpene profile that produces an unmistakable citrus aroma.
Tangerine Diesel is celebrated for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with mild physical relaxation. The strain has gained a reputation among cannabis enthusiasts for its daytime usability and creative enhancement properties. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Tangerine Diesel has developed a dedicated following among those who appreciate citrus-forward sativa hybrids with moderate potency and manageable effects.

Tangerine Diesel Strain Growing Information
Tangerine Diesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 9-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems indoors. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 250 cm outdoors, requiring adequate vertical space and possibly training techniques to manage height. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing strong support for the tall, sometimes top-heavy colas.
