Tropical Tangie

Dry trimming the Tropical Tangie worked great for bigger buds which were nice and firm. There was a lot of fluffy bud below the screen that was no fun to trim that way. The leafy pheno was not so bad after all. The leaves can be easily removed by hand during the dry trim. The overall harvest was nice in terms of amount, resin and smell. The Tangie is very strong, uplifting still, but qith a bit of a punch. The smell is nice, but mine do not really have a citric or orange peel smell. More like an interesting spicy, sweet and somewhat musky aroma. Kind of like really fresh homemade hash. It was the first grow in this setup and with this strain, so I will not blame the genetics or the setup for the fluffy buds. They could probably have used at least one more week, even though they are supposed to be ready after 9-10. But it was too cold in the grow room and that slowed things down. I also did not defoliate enough and trim the small crap under the screen. Effect 9/10 Aroma 8/10 Yield 8/10 Bud appeal 7/10 I made clones from the good pheno, which are growing in a SOG, see next report. Then we see if I can squeeze out better bud.

FYI: The plant was her prettiest in Week11. So don't miss this if you (like me) most of the time mainly check the harvest page! :) I had a lot of fun growing Tropical Tangie. It's almost too vigorous, but if you get over the constant defoliation and watering needs, it rewards you with very dense very smelly nugs. A LOT of nugs! I initially bought this strain because I wanted something straightforward orange-y fruity. And while at the start of flowering it smelled exactly like that - towards the end the smell shifted. To the orange peel smell there joined a very pungent dark roast coffee smell (to my nose). A good friend of mine even called it "burnt rubber". Now as that smell has permeated through the "airtight" polypropylene containers like no strain before, i have kind of fallen in love with it! To me, the high is strong and relaxing. Almost sedating - first time i tried a larger amount I caught myself after a while staring at my PC monitor doing (and thinking) nothing. Nothing at all. Very serene.

I was so excited about this strain: I love tropical strains, I love tangerine strains. So this must be the culmination of strains right? It didn't quite live up to the expectations. She grew quite nicely, a very compact structure but was very sensitive to nutrients. Near the end of the flowering phase, she developed botrytis... The structure of the plant had too little airflow and the buds were very dense. Managed to save quite a bit of the flowers. The dried flowers are compact, quite sticky but do not have a fruity flavour.

The grow was easy, the smell is just AMAZING and I can't wait until it's all dry and cured because I smell great potential with this plant :)

Oranges with superpowers!! Growing experience - 8 Smell - 13 Taste - 12 Effects - 10 Spectacularity - 9 Poa, what a smell!! It's full on orange, cut in pieces, juicy and sour and fresh, so good! The buds are sticky and very dense, if you throw them onto a metal bin, they definitely make a CLONG! Great work, Dutch Passion! The plant was a beauty, grew normal in size, she responded directly to the switch, produced awesome buds. I was struck with budrot, next time I will grow her in winter, that's the time with the lowest humidity in the house. My environment wasn't ideal tis time. But still I got a great harvest. The effects are incredible, if I manage to stay awake, it's really trippy. I think I had hallucinations. But who knows. The harvest was quite early, from the look of the buds I would have waited one more week if the circumstances were different. But I'm actually really happy like how the flowers turned out!! Definitely a keeper in my growroom!
