What is the TGA Vortex strain?
TGA Vortex is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and fruity flavor profile.

The strain was created by crossing Apollo 13 and Space Queen, with a more complex genetic lineage that includes Genius, P75, Romulan, and Cinderella 99. This exceptional strain has earned recognition in the cannabis community, winning the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup Best Sativa award in 2010.
Vortex exhibits dense, medium-sized buds with a conical structure, displaying vibrant green coloration interspersed with orange pistils and coated with a thick layer of trichomes. The strain is renowned for its strong and distinct tropical and citrusy aroma, with hints of mango, pineapple, and subtle earthiness. When consumed, Vortex delivers a burst of sweet and tangy flavors dominated by tropical fruit notes, with undertones of lemon and spice on the exhale. The strain's name is fitting, as users often describe feeling as if they are on a rollercoaster while intoxicated, with a wave of euphoria that hits once the effects take hold.
