General info
Tangerine Dream can only be described as a heavenly hybrid. Medical users delight in its dual-ability to relieve pain whilst providing ample energy to get stuff done. The strain was created by the green-fingered legends at Barney’s Farm using G-13 and Neville’s Haze earning the team several awards including the coveted Cannabis Cup in 2010. It’s delicious taste and citrusy aroma are the cherry on the cake.
Grow info
If grown outdoors this strain will perform best in a warm climate with as much light as possible. For those of you living in colder climates, an indoor set-up is advisable or even, a hydroponic set-up if you want to maximise your sweet tasty haul. The flowering period is expected to take between 8-10 weeks, however, make sure you allocate yourself some extra time for trimming. These buds can get particularly sticky! Under the right conditions, both indoor and outdoor growers can expect 15-18 ounces per plant (420g – 504g) during harvest.

FLAVORS
Like many citrus strains, Tangerine Dream flaunts orange hairs and can produce lots of trichomes on it’s well proportioned (and surprisingly heavy) buds. It’s an aesthetically pleasing flower that screams high THC content for obvious reasons. It smells like a tangerine and a Sativa strain made love and had a baby which can make it difficult to turn away from at your local dispensary. Once smoked or vaped, you can expect to taste sugary fruity goodness right away with a zesty and slightly tangy aftertaste. This pleasant combination makes it a favorite for people looking to experiment.
