HOW TO GROW TANGERINE DREAM

If you’re thinking about growing Tangerine Dream, here are the strain’s most-noteworthy growing characteristics:

Tangerine Dream a moderately difficult strain to grow that adapts well to all kinds of environments and growing techniques. Regardless whether it is grown indoors or outdoors, it will rarely exceed a height of 100cm. This is an advantage for outdoor growers who want to keep things under the radar, as the plant can easily be hidden, so as to not draw unwanted attention.

With its compact size, Tangerine Dream is also very suitable for indoor cultivation. It does well when grown in soil and thrives when grown hydroponically. It is providing particularly good results when grown in a Sea of Green (SOG). During the vegetative phase, the plant may require heavy pruning to ensure optimal light exposure and to prevent mould. The strain has good natural resistances to diseases.

Tangerine Dream can benefit from providing it with quality nutrients during growth and later during flowering. Macronutrients such as liquid silica help strengthen its resistances, promote strong and healthy plants and help ward off pathogens such as fungus and mildew.

For outdoor cultivation, Tangerine Dream prefers a warm and dry climate with ample of sunlight where it can yield about 450g/m². Grown indoors, in an optimal setup such as in a SOG, growers can see slightly higher yields of up to 650g/m². Its flowering time takes a still reasonable 10–11 weeks.

TANGERINE DREAM: FLAVOUR AND EFFECTS

When used Tangerine Dream combines the effects of both indica and sativa cannabis. The sativa qualities of the plant will instantly produce a powerful cerebral psychedelic buzz that is uplifting and euphoric, providing the consumer with focus and mental clarity. The indica side of the strain shows in a deeply relaxing, couch-locking body stone.

Tangerine Dream features a complex aroma profile that blends spicy and citrus scents with fruity smells. Upon inhaling its intense smoke, tangy flavours of lemon and orange are noticeable, which blend with fruity apple flavours and spicy tones.
