Sour Tangie

Sour Tangie is flower that borrows its name from a cross of East Coast Sour Diesel and Tangie. Leafly credits DNA Genetics as the breeder, lists the strain as a sativa and gives Sunva as another name, and in AllBud‘s entry it is a sativa dominant hybrid, 80/20 in favour of sativa.

East Coast Sour Diesel meets Tangie

Leafly and AllBud both give the cross as East Coast Sour Diesel with Tangie. In Leafly’s genetics box, Citrus Punch and Bittersweet are the children. Leafly says the result mixes Sour Diesel’s familiar aroma with Tangie’s strong citrus character and a creative, uplifting buzz, and it notes two phenotypes: one takes after Sour Diesel, the other after Tangie, in bud structure and effects.

One AllBud reviewer says batches vary by brand and grower: lighter, fluffier ones taste more like diesel, darker ones more like Tangie. For growers, Leafly notes quick vegetative growth and flowering in 9 to 10 weeks indoors.

Grape-shaped olive buds with pink undertones

AllBud describes grape-shaped, medium-sized buds in deep olive green, with unexpected pink undertones, purple hairs and a frosty layer of fine lavender-tinted crystals.

Sour citrus first, diesel behind it

On AllBud the smell is pungent, sour citrus with an earthy diesel note as the bud burns, and the taste is sour, earthy citrus ending in a sharp, pungent diesel aftertaste that builds as you smoke. AllBud’s aroma tags are diesel, earthy, lemon, pungent, sour and spicy; its flavour tags are citrus, diesel, orange, sweet and tangy.

On Leafly the flavour tags run citrus, orange, diesel, and one Leafly reviewer tastes citrus first, then earthy, then diesel.

Energetic and focused, as users tell it

Energetic, focused and uplifted lead the feelings tagged by Leafly reviewers; happy, creative, talkative, euphoric and giggly follow, and Leafly’s effects gauge leans energizing. AllBud users describe a mix of indica and sativa effects: an uplifting head buzz with driven energy and a bit of focus, plus a warm, relaxing body buzz. They tag body high, creative, euphoria and happy.
