Purple Tangie by Unknown or Legendary
Listen, if you haven't grown Purple Tangie, you are seriously missing out on one of the most electric sativas of the last decade. The story goes that somebody popped a random pack of DNA Genetics Tangie seeds around 2014 and found this absolute freak of nature—a Tangie crossed with some unknown purple heavy-hitter, probably Purple Kush. The result? A towering, vigorous beast of a plant that throws down massive yields and stretches to the ceiling. You absolutely have to top and tie this girl down, or she will literally take over your entire grow room. It’s a bit of a marathon, taking a solid 10 to 12 weeks to finish flowering, but the payoff is insane.
The terps on this cut are out of this world. It’s not just a subtle citrus vibe; it smells like someone smashed a bushel of fresh tangerines over a pile of crushed grapes. That sharp, zesty orange rind cuts right through the sweet berry undertones, making your carbon filter work overtime. And the bag appeal? Nuts. You get these big, spade-shaped buds that show off gorgeous violet streaks towards the end of flower. It’s the kind of weed that looks so good you almost feel bad grinding it up. Almost.
Don't let the pretty colors fool you into thinking it's a sleepy indica, though. This stuff is pure rocket fuel for your brain. It usually tests way up in the 20-28% THC range and hits with a soaring, cerebral rush that makes you want to clean your entire house and write a novel at the same time. Smoke a little too much and your heart might start racing, so beginners definitely need to take it easy. But for seasoned smokers looking for that perfect daytime smoke that won't glue you to a chair, Purple Tangie is just undefeated.

Growing Purple Tangie: what to expect
As a sativa-leaning plant, plan for a big stretch after the flip (often 100–200%) — flip earlier than feels natural and keep training options ready. Sativa-leaning plants also generally prefer a lighter feed than heavy indicas. Growers familiar with Tangie will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
