Tangie Moonshine
Tangie × Moonshine Haze
Tangie Moonshine is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred by Rare Dankness, celebrated for its intense tangerine aroma and uplifting effects. It aims to combine the classic citrus notes of Tangie with the energetic qualities of a haze lineage, offering a vigorous and fast-flowering option for cultivators.
Appearance
This sativa-leaning cultivar typically presents with medium internode spacing and strong apical dominance, developing readily under various lighting conditions. Its buds often form tapered spears or rugby-shaped colas, characterized by stacked calyxes and vivid orange pistils. A dense coating of trichomes gives the flowers a silvery sheen, and some phenotypes may display faint lavender hues under cooler temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is dominated by a powerful tangerine peel and candied orange zest profile, often described as fresh-squeezed juice. Secondary notes can include sweet floral haze and hints of tropical fruit, with a subtle peppery or herbal finish. Flavors mirror the aroma, featuring bright tangerine, orange marmalade, and grapefruit, with undertones of spice and herbs upon exhalation, especially when vaporized.
Effects
Consumers commonly report an upbeat and social experience with Tangie Moonshine, characterized by a pleasant, euphoric buzz. The effects are often described as cerebral and energetic, promoting creativity and a positive mood. While primarily uplifting, some users may experience a sense of relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific terpene profiles vary, limonene is typically dominant, contributing to the strain's signature citrus notes. Other terpenes like myrcene, caryophyllene, and linalool may also be present, influencing the aroma and effects. THC content generally ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels typically below 1%.
Growing
Tangie Moonshine is noted for its vigor and relatively fast flowering time, often completing bloom in 8-9 weeks, which is quicker than many haze-influenced sativas. It responds well to training techniques and generally exhibits a manageable canopy. The strain is well-suited for both boutique flower production and extraction due to its resin density.
Origins & Lineage
Tangie Moonshine is a creation of Rare Dankness, bred by crossing the popular Tangie strain with their own Moonshine Haze selection. Tangie is known for its intense citrus aroma, stemming from California Orange and Skunk genetics, while Moonshine Haze contributes cerebral energy and haze complexity. This cross aims to intensify citrus character while maintaining a vigorous and efficient growth profile.
