Tangie Clones

Tangie Clones

Tangie Clones—also known as the modern revival of the legendary Tangerine Dream (1995)—represent one of the most iconic citrus-forward sativa strains ever created. Bred by DNA Genetics’ Private Reserve, Tangie has earned global recognition, including 1st Place for Best Sativa at the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup and multiple international awards since. This strain is cherished for its unmistakable orange aroma, uplifting high, and exceptional resin production, making it a favorite for both growers and connoisseurs worldwide.

Genetics

The genetics behind Tangie are a masterpiece of old-school breeding excellence. It’s a Cali-O × Skunk hybrid—a meticulous cross between a classic California Orange clone and one of Crockett’s personal Skunk selections. This pairing brings out the very best traits of the original Skunk and California Orange genetics, combining their robust growth structure with the unforgettable sweet citrus bouquet that made them legends in the first place. The result is a 70% sativa-dominant hybrid that embodies vintage flavor with modern potency and stability.

Tangie Strain Characteristics

Tangie is primarily a sativa-dominant hybrid (70/30 ratio) known for its vigorous growth, adaptability, and impressive yield potential. It thrives in virtually any setup—indoor, outdoor, or greenhouse—and responds especially well to SCROG and SOG techniques. Tangie also benefits from topping and FIM pruning, which help increase light exposure and boost yields dramatically. Plants typically grow to a medium-tall height with strong lateral branching and abundant bud sites, producing dense, sticky flowers ideal for extraction or flower production alike.

Tangie Aroma & Flavors

The hallmark of Tangie cannabis is its unmistakable tangerine and mandarin aroma—a bright, juicy citrus explosion that fills the room from the first whiff. The flavor perfectly mirrors the scent: zesty orange peel, sweet nectar, and a hint of tropical fruit. The dominant terpenes limonene and myrcene are responsible for its sharp citrus sweetness and subtle herbal undertones. Few strains rival Tangie’s flavor complexity, making it a must-try for fans of fruity sativas and terpene-rich concentrates.

Growing Tangie Clones

Growing Tangie Clones is a rewarding experience for cultivators of all skill levels. These feminized plants exhibit rapid vegetative growth and continue stretching through the first five weeks of flowering—so vertical space management is key. Flowering typically completes in 9–10 weeks indoors, producing heavy yields of resinous, citrus-scented buds. In outdoor grows, Tangie is ready for harvest approximately two weeks after the end of summer, thriving best in warm, Mediterranean-like climates.

Under ideal indoor conditions, Tangie can yield up to 20 ounces per light (around 550–600 g/m²), while outdoor plants can produce 30 ounces or more per plant. The buds are large, coated with trichomes, and ideal for resin extraction or solventless concentrates. Tangie’s robust performance, citrus-heavy terpene profile, and award-winning reputation have made it a staple among modern cultivators and extract artists alike. It’s no surprise this strain won 10 awards in 10 competitions before becoming an official DNA Genetics release—cementing its place among the greats of cannabis breeding history.
