How to grow Tangilope
Taste
Seb's take
Tangie crossed with Chocolope, a pairing that asks little of the grower and forgives most mistakes made along the way. Citrus, orange, grapefruit and tropical notes fill the nose; the high is uplifted, energetic and creative, sativa in structure and inclined to stretch given the chance.
Where it comes from
DNA Genetics crossed Tangie with Chocolope, pairing a citrus sativa with a chocolate-noted one — an odd couple that works. Sativa-dominant at eighty percent, she grows tall and long-internoded, typical of the type, with a bud-to-leaf ratio that flatters the grower. Forgiving of most mistakes and happy under any training, which makes her friendlier to a beginner than her stretch might suggest. A characterful cross of two well-known names.
Nose & flavour
The nose is bright citrus throughout — orange and grapefruit leading, sweet and tropical filling in behind. The Tangie side dominates the aroma, the Chocolope lending a subtler richness beneath the zest. Grapefruit gives it a slightly bitter sharpness that keeps the sweetness in line. A vivid, fruit-forward profile, and a loud one.
The high
The effect is a bright, cerebral one — uplifted, energetic and creative, the near-total sativa dominance showing plainly. Happy and euphoric with it, the sort of clear, active head that suits getting things done rather than sitting still. Daytime company for a busy mind. Cheerful, clear and inclined to keep you moving.
Growing it
She likes a little more feeding than usual — start low and build up — and takes any training you care to apply, which is just as well: left alone she'll reach up to 200cm outdoors given root space and time. Flowering runs around sixty-three days indoors, nine to ten weeks, for 450 to 550 g/m². Forgiving of inexperience despite the size, she rewards a firm hand with both control and yield. Give her the headroom or the training, and mind the appetite.
