Also known as: Tangie Kush, Orange Kush
Tangerine Kush Strain Overview
Tangerine Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Tangerine Dream and OG Kush, resulting in a balanced cultivar with distinctive citrus characteristics. The strain was developed to merge the uplifting, creative effects of Tangerine Dream with the relaxing, body-focused properties of OG Kush. While its exact breeding history is not fully documented, it gained popularity in the early 2010s among cannabis enthusiasts seeking a flavorful experience with moderate psychoactive effects. The strain is particularly noted for its pronounced citrus aroma, which has made it a favorite among those who appreciate fruity terpene profiles.
Visually, Tangerine Kush typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often a vibrant green with occasional purple hues, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, complementing the strain's namesake color theme. The leaves are broad and dark green, characteristic of its Kush lineage. When properly cured, the buds emit a strong, sweet citrus scent with undertones of earth and pine, creating an aromatic profile that is both inviting and complex.
Notable features of Tangerine Kush include its consistent terpene profile and balanced effects. The strain is known for producing a clear-headed high that gradually transitions into physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. Its flavor profile is remarkably true to its name, with users often describing a taste reminiscent of fresh tangerines with earthy, kush-like undertones. While not considered a high-CBD strain, its balanced cannabinoid ratio contributes to its reputation as an approachable option for both recreational and therapeutic users seeking moderate effects without overwhelming intensity.

Tangerine Kush Strain Growing Information
Tangerine Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Plants tend to stay medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration.
