Double Tangie Banana
Tangie × Banana Sherbet
Double Tangie Banana is a sativa-leaning hybrid cultivar celebrated for its prominent citrus aromas, particularly tangerine, complemented by a subtle creamy banana undertone. It is recognized for delivering an energetic finish, uplifting mood, and enhanced creativity.
Appearance
Plants typically grow medium-tall with a sativa-like vigor and strong apical dominance. Buds are medium to large, often conical or spear-shaped, with a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio that simplifies trimming. Prominent trichome coverage gives a frosty appearance, with vivid orange pistils against light-green calyxes. Mature flowers may display a light lime base, sometimes with gold hints, while banana-leaning phenotypes can be slightly denser and darker.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by zesty tangerine and fresh orange peel, often with a faint floral note, layered with a creamy banana scent that adds confectionary depth. Upon grinding, the bouquet intensifies, revealing notes of sweet mandarin, citrus zest, and hints of vanilla custard or banana bread. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting a bright citrus taste with a smooth, creamy banana finish.
Effects
Consumers report a fast onset of effects, often noticing sensory enhancements and a clean, energetic finish. This cultivar is known for promoting elevated mood and creativity, making it a popular choice for daytime use. The experience is described as uplifting and invigorating.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Lab analyses commonly show THC content ranging from 17% to 27%, with a median around 21%. Total terpene content typically falls between 1.4% and 2.6%. Key terpenes include limonene, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene, with citrus-adjacent terpenes like valencene and ocimene also frequently present. CBD levels are generally below 1%, though some batches may show measurable CBG between 0.3% and 1.0%.
Growing
Double Tangie Banana is considered reliable to grow, performing well under training and responding positively to high light intensity. It requires 9 to 10 weeks of flowering. Indoor yields can range from 450 to 650 g/m², while outdoor plants in temperate climates can yield over 600 g per plant. The strain exhibits a sativa-leaning growth habit with hybrid bud structure, including a significant stretch during early flowering.
Origins & Lineage
Developed in the early-to-mid 2010s, Double Tangie Banana is attributed to Crockett Family Farms, associated with DNA Genetics. It is a cross of Tangie with a Banana Sherbet or banana-leaning line, bred to enhance Tangie's citrus profile while incorporating a creamy banana note. The name reflects an intensified Tangie expression rather than a direct cross of Tangie with itself.
