What is Tangerine Dream?
Tangerine Dream is a sativa-leaning hybrid from Barneys Farm in Amsterdam. The breeder's description, reproduced on Seedfinder, says it crossed G13 with Neville's A5 Haze and then crossed the result back to G13. Leafly lists G13, Afghani and Neville's A5 Haze in its background, and Weedmaps also names an Afghani landrace, so sources differ on whether Afghani genetics are part of the cross.
Seedfinder and Weedmaps both report that Tangerine Dream won first place at the 2010 High Times Cannabis Cup. Weedmaps adds that tests by Phylos Bioscience found high genetic variation in Tangerine Dream, so plants sold under the name can differ.
Look, smell and taste
Barneys Farm describes large, tight colas flecked with red and orange hairs and frosted with fine crystals, and promises tangy, intense, sweet citrus aromas and flavours. Leafly reviewers most often report orange, citrus and tropical flavours, and Weedmaps users report orange, citrus and a little diesel. Growers on Seedfinder describe a tangerine smell and a taste of tangerine, lemon and pepper. Leafly lists myrcene as the dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene.
Effects people report
Leafly describes Tangerine Dream as uplifting and euphoric, with mental clarity alongside deep physical relaxation, and its reviewers most often report feeling uplifted, happy and focused; Leafly rates it mostly energizing. Barneys Farm describes a happy, cerebral sativa energy layered over some indica relaxation. Leafly also cautions that too much may leave you stuck on the couch, and the most common negatives it lists are dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness.
Start with a small amount, and do not drive for at least 6 hours afterwards, as Health Canada's lower-risk guidelines advise.
THC and potency
Leafly lists about 20% THC, while Barneys Farm's description claims a minimum of 25% THC and 1.8% CBD. Given the genetic variation Weedmaps reports, treat both as rough guides and go by the lab-tested numbers on the package.
Similar strains and relatives
Tangerine Dream's parents are G13 and Neville's A5 Haze, a line Seedfinder traces back to Haze and Northern Lights #5, and Weedmaps lists Afghani, G13 Haze and Neville's Haze as its most similar strains. Breeders have also used it as a parent: Seedfinder lists Citric Acid, a cross with Barneys Farm's LSD, and Leafly lists Purple Poison and Mandarine 47 among its children.
