Tangie
Originally bred by DNA Genetics out of Amsterdam, the Tangie strain of cannabis has become a fan favorite over the past 30+ years. As a standalone strain, Tangie is hard to beat, but it’s the fact that Tangie has sired over a dozen other popular strains makes Tangie a candidate to be on the Mount Rushmore of bud. While the strain originated in Amsterdam, it quickly made its way to California, where it was an instant hit among cannabis enthusiasts. You can find Tangie or a variant of the citrusy strain in almost every weed shop in the world. The Sativa-dominant herb is the descendant of parent strains California Orange and Skunk #1. The modern twist on cult classic Tangerine Dream, Tangie won the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup, as well as seven other major awards, cementing its legacy within the cannabis community as a powerhouse among growers and users.

More About Our Tangie Seeds And How To Grow Them
Tangie has a brilliant flavor and aroma profile and is recognized as being pleasant on the palate among weed fans. The citrus flavor gives off a sweet tropical vibe that is similar to the scent of the strain. The smoke of this bud is smooth and sweet and has hints of wood, spices, and fresh notes that really make Tangie stand out. The skunky undertone of this bud is similar to other strains born and bred in the 1990s. That pungent, skunky odor reveals itself simply by breaking up the potent buds. In fact, you can get a strong whiff of Tangie long before you ever light it up. If taste is an important factor when you choose a strain, you cannot go wrong with the legendary Tangie.
Dominant Terpenes in Tangie
Tangie’s sweet citrus and tropical taste and skunky and pungent aroma are created by its dominant terpenes. Its terpene profile is what gives the strain its specific flavors and scents, like tangerines and spice. The science behind this strain is unique, and a better understanding of the genetics of the plant can help you choose the right flavor notes and aromas for your tastes. This strain features Myrcene, which gives it an earthy and herbal flavor and scent. Alpha-Pinene, which is commonly found in pine needles and conifer trees, gives off a woody and pine-like flavor and aroma. There is also Humulene in the terpene profile of this strain, which is commonly found in beer with high hop content and gives off an earthy and herbal aroma.
Happy and Uplifted
As a Sativa-dominant strain, Tangie is a pick-me-up compared to Indica varieties. After your first hit, you will feel a rush of happiness wash over your face and mind as you get a case of the giggles. The energy that Tangie provides is like drinking a small cup of coffee. That initial cerebral rush works its way down, causing a euphoric vibe to resonate throughout your body. The ideal wake-and-bake bud, Tangie, will also make you feel motivated, allowing you to accomplish minor tasks with vigor. The buzz you get from this strain will definitely sneak up on you, but when it is in full effect, the only side effects you might have to deal with are cotton mouth and a case of the munchies, so have some snacks and a beverage close by.
A West Coast Favorite
With a short flowering period and hefty yields, it isn’t just the taste and aroma that make Tangie a favorite among cannabis connoisseurs. Also, a THC content of 22% has helped grow Tangie’s popularity over the years. If you are growing your cannabis indoors, you can expect to harvest around 500 grams per square meter. If you grow your bud outdoors, then you can anticipate harvesting nearly 500 grams per plant. It takes about 55-65 days to complete flowering if you grow your plants indoors. If you were to plant your seeds in late Spring, you should be ready to harvest around the middle of October. Dialing in the proper conditions indoors will ensure a healthy harvest of delicious buds. Growing this strain outdoors requires a bit more maintenance, but if you get the right humidity, temperature, sunlight, and fresh air, then you should harvest potent and delicious buds.
Ideal Conditions For Growing Tangie Seeds
Tangie cannabis plants can be grown successfully by experienced growers. This strain grows medium to tall, so it needs a ton of space to grow, whether it is grown indoors or outdoors. This strain can reach heights of almost 6 feet tall, which means you will need to allow it to grow vertically and laterally to hit your desired yields. This strain performs better indoors than outdoors, but will grow similarly to an indoor plant if you have access to greenhouse growing conditions. While some cultivators prefer to grow in natural sunlight and fresh air similar to that of California in the summer, others prefer the more predictable, controlled environment of growing indoors. Ideally, the temperature should be between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, with relative humidity between 40-70%. If you are going to grow this strain indoors, you will need to replicate California’s climate to hit its peak growing potential. If your local weather is similar to these conditions, your crop will perform well outdoors. However, setting up your grow inside will help you keep the right temperature and humidity every day. Implementing strategies like topping and Low-Stress Training (LST) is recommended for this strain. These methods are most effective because of Tangie’s bushy canopy. Adjusting or clipping the upper leaves and branches will promote light reaching every level of the plant.

Honestly just a fun one to grow. Vibrant leaves, great smell, and even canopy. Will run again.
sunshadeseeds (verified owner)
I’ve run a lot of citrus-heavy strains and this one still surprised me. The scent cuts through the entire tent, especially during late flower. Yield wasn’t massive, but I’d trade weight for that kind of aroma any day. The smoke is clean and the high is bright and talkative. Had a little bit of nute sensitivity early on, so keep it light.
Mikhail Rostov (verified owner)
Germination was almost perfect. 4 out of 5 seeds sprouting.
A. Nakamura (verified owner)
The final product is fantastic.
tokefish (verified owner)
Order came in plain packaging, very low-key. Seeds looked healthy and germed fine.
leafyzip (verified owner)
Ordered during a weekend sale and honestly didn’t expect it to arrive so fast. The packaging was simple and clean, seeds were clearly labeled and secure. I soaked three overnight, and all cracked within 24 hours. Grew them in a 2×4 tent under 240W LED and they responded great to early topping. One plant showed a little cal/mag deficiency in week 4 of veg, but once I dialed in the feed, it took off. In flower, the smell is pure citrus with a zesty edge. Super smooth smoke after curing — it’s become my go-to for morning sessions.
gardenlock (verified owner)
Super easy to grow. Didn’t need much training and still produced well.
Indoor Tent (verified owner)
This grew a lot bigger than I expected. I don’t recommend these genetics if you have a small space
growglassjoe (verified owner)
I’ve grown a few citrus-heavy types before, and this one hit all the marks except one — yield was just average. That being said, the terps made up for it. Easily the strongest-smelling plant in the tent by week 6. I ran it in coco with GH trio nutes, and it didn’t mind a little heavy feed. One thing I’ll note: the buds are super sticky and took longer than expected to dry, so I had to be extra cautious with humidity. Smoke is tasty and gives a calm, clear mental buzz without burnout. Great addition to a mixed stash.

I was really impressed with the terp profile on this one. It started out subtle, but by mid flower it smelled like a bag of oranges. Grew it indoors in soil with basic nutrients, and it didn’t give me any trouble at all. Not the strongest plant structurally — had to stake it in late bloom — but the flavor made up for it big time. Buzz is uplifting, creative, and smooth.

Great delivery time and support was responsive when I had a tracking question.

I ran four in living soil with minimal inputs — just compost tea and water most of the way. Germination was 4/4 and the seedlings were quick to establish. They didn’t stretch too much in my setup but still produced a good canopy. I was especially impressed with the aroma in late bloom: orange peel, pine, and something almost like lemongrass. The buds cured out nicely and the high is energetic without anxiety. It’s rare I find something that hits this sweet spot. Solid choice for day use or social stuff.

Germed all 3 and they took to LST like a charm. Good node spacing.
Orionthunderstrike (verified owner)
Gosh! This strain is so sensitive to nutrients, so I had to be careful not to overfeed. but other than that, it was a solid grow. sticky and smelled amazing.
daily.greens (verified owner)
All about the terps with this one. Zesty citrus blast when you open the jar, like peeling an orange over a campfire. Ran it under 20/4 light and it stacked fast after week 5. The high is more buzzy than heavy, which I like for daytime use. Not a huge yielder, but definitely a flavorful one.
lightloopvic (verified owner)
Had one seed that didn’t crack, but the other two took off quickly. The plants handled topping well and loved the extra airflow. By week 7 of flower, the smell was incredible — fresh peel and skunky candy. I did find the drying took longer than usual, maybe due to bud density. Still, great results.
plantplateau (verified owner)
Pretty smooth all around. One stretched more than the others but nothing unmanageable.
Gabriel Calloway (verified owner)
I usually go for hybrids, but this one surprised me. The yield was just average, but the quality was excellent.
fanleavesforward (verified owner)
These girls stretched more than I anticipated, so definitely give them room to run. I had to scramble and tie down some branches mid-flower, but once they settled in, the buds started stacking like crazy. Loved the way they handled pruning — very responsive and recovered quickly. One pheno leaned a little more earthy than the rest, which was a nice surprise in the jar. The effect is uplifting and clear. My only knock is that they were a bit sensitive to high temps, so I had to tweak my ventilation a few times. Still a great grow.
StickyMartin (verified owner)
I grew three of these in 3-gallon pots under LED. They stayed fairly compact in veg but really stretched after flip, so plan accordingly. One pheno showed some foxtailing, but that might’ve been from my lights being too close. The scent in late flower is sharp citrus with a sour bite — super loud. Final smoke is energetic and clear. Great daytime stuff. Just wish the buds were a bit denser.
AstralStormWeaver (verified owner)
grew mine in full sunlight, and the plants loved it.
Tobias Van Dijk (verified owner)
I am shock with the strong smell, it fills up the space quickly. I had to use a carbon filter, but other than that, the grow was smooth and problem-free.
Inquisitivemind5823? (verified owner)
I grew Tangie in a hydroponic setup, and it did well. The plants grew fast, and the yield was better than I expected. My only issue was that the plants got a little tall, so they needed some training. Otherwise, a solid grow.
S. Al-Farsi (verified owner)
All my seeds sprouted within a few days, and the plants were strong throughout the grow.
