Tangerine is a modern hybrid-sativa strain with an undocumented lineage, as its precise parentage remains unknown. Designed for versatile cultivation, this strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from these plants, which require a moderate level of expertise to manage throughout a 65-day flowering period.
The profile of Tangerine is defined by a distinct terpene arrangement led by terpinolene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene. This specific chemical composition yields an aromatic experience characterized by these dominant compounds, grounding the citrus-forward sensory profile. The combination of these terpenes influences the overall flavour and aromatic nuance, providing a profile consistent with its namesake.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Tangerine is sought after for its capacity to produce creative, uplifted, and euphoric effects. These attributes make it an ideal selection for social engagement, focus-heavy tasks, and projects requiring creative output. The genetic legacy of this strain is evidenced by its application in further breeding projects, most notably seen in the cross of Kosher Kush and Tangerine.

Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tangerine indica or sativa?
Tangerine is modeled here as a sativa-dominant (primarily sativa with indica grounding).
What terpene is dominant in Tangerine?
Terpinolene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Myrcene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Tangerine good for daytime use?
Tangerine is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
