Purple Tangie
Purple Tangie
Also known as: Tangie Purple
Overview
Purple Tangie is typically a cross between Tangie and an undisclosed Purple phenotype, resulting in a sativa-dominant strain that combines the best of both lineages: the zesty, orange-forward flavor of Tangie with the deep coloration and floral complexity of purple strains. In a show of its quality, Purple Tangie took 1st place in the Best Medical Sativa Concentrate category at the 2016 High Times Cannabis Cup in Los Angeles. This energizing cultivar gained traction in Southern California and quickly spread through West Coast dispensaries thanks to its distinctive terpene profile and potent sativa effects. Easy to grow in both greenhouse and indoor environments, Purple Tangie is especially popular with cultivators who value its strong yields, bright color, and vigorous growth cycle.
Purple Tangie buds are a visual treat that are dense, frosty, and streaked with purple. Bright orange pistils contrast beautifully against the dark violet hues of the calyxes. Trichome coverage is heavy, giving the buds a sparkly, resinous look. The purple coloration deepens when grown in cooler conditions, making this strain a standout in any lineup. Purple Tangie typically tests between 19–25% THC, offering a potent but manageable high for most consumers. Purple Tangie generally has low CBD content, often testing below 1%. It's primarily known for its THC-driven effects and flavorful terpene profile. It's been a longtime favorite among creative professionals and early risers who appreciate a cerebral, clear-headed high.

Growing Information
Purple Tangie has a flowering period of 10 to 12 weeks which is typical of a Sativa-dominant strain. After the long wait, growers are rewarded up to 16 ounces of buds per square meter. This strain prefers a semi-humid climate with daytime temperatures between 72 and 80°F (22-27°C). The flowering time for Purple Tangie ranges between 8 and 10 weeks, making it an average-early finisher amongst cannabis strains. As a tropical strain, Purple Tangie has a natural propensity for the sunny weather of a Mediterranean climate. It prefers basking in the daylight for longer periods of time especially during flowering. This is not to say the plant will not do well in the colder temperatures and short daytime of the northern hemisphere. Purple Tangie yields 12 to 16 ounces per square meter indoors and 16 ounces or more per plant outdoors. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation methods.
