Tangerine Dream CBD
G13 × Neville's A5 Haze
Tangerine Dream CBD is a sativa-leaning hybrid cultivar developed to offer a gentler experience while retaining the original's citrus profile. It provides clear-headed, uplifting effects with physical ease, making it suitable for daytime use.
Appearance
This cultivar typically grows into a medium-height, sativa-leaning plant with robust branching. Its buds are often conical or spear-shaped, featuring a good calyx-to-leaf ratio and abundant trichomes. Visually, it can display lime to forest-green colors, sometimes with purple hues, and bright orange pistils.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a bright citrus scent, reminiscent of tangerine peel and sweet orange zest, complemented by subtle herbal and floral undertones. Upon tasting, expect a sweet citrus flavor, often with notes of orange blossom honey, a gentle earthiness, and a mild peppery finish.
Effects
Users often report clear-headed and uplifting sensations, accompanied by a sense of physical ease. This profile makes it a suitable choice for daytime functionality, providing a balanced experience with moderated psychoactivity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile is commonly led by limonene, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor. This CBD-focused variant aims for a balanced cannabinoid ratio, often in the 1:1 to 2:1 CBD:THC range, with THC levels typically between 7-10%.
Origins & Lineage
Tangerine Dream CBD is a derivative of the original Tangerine Dream, a strain developed by Barney's Farm. The original is believed to be a complex cross involving G13 and Neville's A5 Haze. The CBD variant was created by introducing a high-CBD donor or selecting for CBD-rich phenotypes to moderate psychoactivity while preserving the signature citrus profile.
Growing
Tangerine Dream CBD plants are adaptable to various growing spaces, responding well to training techniques like topping and SCROG. The plant structure supports good energy distribution, and its morphology is suitable for both small tents and larger cultivation rooms. Proper curing and storage are important for preserving its delicate aroma and flavor notes.
