Tangerine Kush Auto

Tangerine Kush Auto: A Sweet Citrus Treat

Tangerine Kush Auto seeds grow into medium to tall plants with pointy buds at the very top of the canopy. That canopy is comprised of narrow leaves and acts as a suncatcher, providing the rest of the plant with the energy it needs to grow healthy and strong. The buds of this plant are a mix of green and purple with a hint of orange hidden in the pistils. The dusty trichomes this plant sports make it appear as if it were drenched in sweet sugar and that very same crystal resin helps to produce the flavor and aroma profile that cannabis connoisseurs go nuts for. When harvested, the trichomes stick to the nuggets, making them sticky when broken up with your fingers. Tangerine Kush Auto has done well on the awards circuit, gaining recognition from THC and CBD fans. While it hasn’t taken home any major Cannabis Cup victories, it still has a solid resume within the growing community. Growers like this strain because it is no fuss and no muss. It is also a great strain for beginner growers to cut their teeth on.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Tangerine Kush Autoflower seeds thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments, but they particularly excel in a semi-humid, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. As stated above, this strain is perfect for first-timers looking to break into the cannabis cultivation community. For growing Tangerine Kush Autoflower seeds, using high-quality LED grow lights or HPS lamps is recommended to ensure optimal photosynthesis and robust bud development. To determine the perfect time to harvest, look for trichomes on the buds; they should be mostly cloudy with some amber for optimal potency and flavor.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Tangerine Kush Auto cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers.

Being that this strain is an Auto strain, it does not require a change in light to reach its flowering stage. It will do that automatically.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels should be kept around 40-60% during the vegetative stage, gradually decreasing to 30-40% during the flowering stage to prevent mold and promote healthy bud development.
• Training Techniques: Indoor, using soil as a growing medium can enhance the strain’s sweet flavors, while hydroponics and methods like the Sea of Green can also yield great results, especially if you are looking to maximize your harvest.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Tangerine Kush Auto:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Tangerine Kush Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, relaxed, and sleepy feeling you get when enjoying the Tangerine Kush Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 19%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying Tangerine Kush Auto cannabis.

CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Tangerine Kush Auto strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
