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.
