Tangerine Borealis by Bred By
Indica genetics × Sativa genetics
Tangerine Borealis is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Bred by 42, noted for its potent effects and distinctive citrus profile. With a genetic makeup that is approximately 75-80% indica, this strain offers a deeply relaxing experience.
Appearance
Tangerine Borealis produces dense, resinous buds characteristic of quality indica varieties. These compact buds are covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. Vibrant orange and tangerine hues are often visible alongside dark green coloration, with bright orange pistils further enhancing its visual appeal.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Tangerine Borealis is a complex blend of bright citrus, particularly tangerine, complemented by earthy and spicy undertones. Upon inhalation, users experience a prominent sweet and tangy tangerine flavor, followed by a warm, earthy finish. Subtle herbal and pine notes contribute to a multi-layered taste experience.
Effects
As a predominantly indica strain, Tangerine Borealis is recognized for its potent and relaxing effects. It is favored for its ability to induce a sense of calm and sedation, making it a suitable choice for unwinding. The strain's profile suggests it may help alleviate feelings of stress.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analyses indicate that Limonene is a dominant terpene in Tangerine Borealis, contributing significantly to its citrus aroma and flavor. Other terpenes such as Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene may also be present. The strain typically exhibits high THC levels, generally ranging from 18% to 25%, with CBD content below 1%.
Growing
Cultivation of Tangerine Borealis involves meticulous breeding techniques, with careful selection of phenotypes to ensure both potency and distinct flavor profiles. The strain's genetic lineage is stable, allowing for reproducible results in commercial cultivation, often optimized through controlled indoor conditions.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by the breeder known as Bred by 42, Tangerine Borealis emerged from extensive research and experimentation over a decade. Its genetic heritage is estimated to be 75-80% indica, with the remainder derived from sativa genetics, carefully selected to balance effects and enhance citrus notes.
