Tangerine Kush

Tangerine Kush is an indica-leaning cannabis strain known for a bright citrus aroma and, unusually, for how short its effects last. Reported THC commonly falls between 16% and 23%.

Genetics: Not Established

We do not list a lineage for Tangerine Kush because no reliable one exists. Several breeders have released cuts under the name and the phenotypes differ in vigour, terpene balance and resin density. One user-submitted entry gives Tangerine Haze crossed with Rare Dankness #1, but that is a single unverified record rather than a breeder's listing, and the seed databases that carry a lineage field for the strain leave the parentage blank.

Rather than publish a guess, this page leaves the field empty. Do not confuse it with the strains that do have documented genetics: Tangie is a DNA Genetics sativa from Cali-O crossed with Skunk, and Tangerine Dream is a separate line involving G13 and Neville's A5 Haze.

Potency

The consumer databases describe its potency as higher than average without giving a figure. Secondary sources commonly put total THC between 16% and 23%, which is where this listing's 20% sits. Any concentrate figure you see for this strain (one cartridge listing shows 82%) describes an extract, not flower.

Aroma and Flavour

Tangerine and orange peel, with limonene the compound behind it. The citrus is the reason to seek it out.

Reported Effects

The pattern users describe is distinctive: an uplifted, energised opening that turns within a few minutes into a heavy, lazy body feeling. The databases also note the effects are particularly short-lasting despite a potent, quick onset, which, if you are choosing a strain for a particular occasion, is more useful to know than the THC number. These are reported impressions rather than guaranteed outcomes.
