Tangie Candie Feminized Seeds · Elev8 Seeds · Runtz x Tangerine Cookies Hybrid

Tangie Candie Feminized Seeds from Elev8 Seeds are your ticket to cultivating a legendary hybrid that masterfully blends the candy-sweet decadence of Runtz with the vibrant, citrusy punch of Tangerine Cookies, resulting in a high-THC powerhouse with unforgettable flavor and impressive yields.

Ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of "elite" strains promising the world, only to end up with a plant that's finicky, low-yielding, or just doesn't live up to the hype? You invest time, money, and hope into a seed, dreaming of frosty, aromatic buds, but instead face weak genetics, hermaphroditic tendencies, or a harvest that smells more like hay than heaven. This confusion leads to wasted cycles, disappointment, and a nagging feeling you're missing out on the truly great genetics.

Tangie Candie cuts through the noise. It's a proven cross from a respected breeder, combining two iconic parent strains to create something reliably exceptional. This isn't just another pretty name; it's a genetic blueprint for success, offering the robust growth, insane terpene profile (tested at over 5%), and heavy yields you've been searching for, without the guesswork.

Typical Myths About "Elite" Hybrid Strains

• Myth: "All these fancy crosses are just hype with weak genetics." Reality: Tangie Candie is built from stable, award-winning parent lines (Runtz and Tangerine Cookies), ensuring vigorous growth and consistent, premium-quality offspring.
• Myth: "High-THC strains are always difficult to grow and sensitive." Reality: While potent, Tangie Candie shows good resistance and adaptability, making it suitable for growers beyond the expert level when given proper care.
• Myth: "You can't get both massive flavor and massive yields." Reality: This strain is renowned for delivering abundant harvests while packing an extraordinary terpene profile of over 5%, proving you don't have to sacrifice aroma for weight.
• Myth: "Indica-dominant hybrids are only good for nighttime." Reality: With its 70% indica / 30% sativa balance, Tangie Candie offers a versatile high that can be euphoric and creative before melting into deep relaxation, suitable for various times of day.

What Tangie Candie Really Does (And What It Doesn't)

Tangie Candie genuinely delivers a sensory masterpiece. It produces dense, trichome-covered buds that reek of sharp citrus, sweet berries, and creamy orange soda, translating directly into a flavor explosion on the palate. It provides a powerful, well-rounded high that starts cerebral and settles into full-body comfort.

What it doesn't do is perform miracles in neglect. It requires standard attention to lighting, feeding, and environment to reach its full potential. It won't turn a first-time grower into an instant champion without effort, but it rewards good practices with exceptional results.

Advantages and Benefits When Grown Properly

• Explosive Terpene Profile: Experience one of the highest recorded terpene contents (over 5.1%), filling your space with intense orange cream soda and sour berry aromas.
• Heavy, Resinous Yields: Expect bountiful harvests of up to 750 g/m² (2.2 oz/ft²) indoors or 1400 g (3.09 lb) per plant outdoors, thanks to its robust structure.
• Potent, Balanced Effect: Enjoy a versatile high from its >25% THC content, perfect for unwinding after work or sparking creative sessions.
• Visual Appeal: Grow stunning plants with deep green foliage and flowers adorned with vibrant orange pistils, covered in a thick layer of frost.
• Genetic Reliability: Feminized seeds ensure all plants are flower-producing females, eliminating the worry of male plants and maximizing your garden space.

Tips to Choose Well According to Your Expectations

Tangie Candie is a fantastic all-rounder, but your goals will determine how you approach it. If you're chasing ultimate flavor and don't mind a slightly longer flower time (8-9 weeks), this is your strain. For maximum yield, employ training techniques like SCROG to manage its bushy structure and support its heavy buds.

• If you expect connoisseur-grade flavor: Pay close attention to the drying and curing process to preserve its delicate citrus and berry terpenes.
• If you expect massive, easy yields: Provide strong support for the branches during late flowering, as the dense buds can become heavy.
• If you expect a trouble-free grow: Maintain stable environmental conditions and avoid overfeeding, especially during the flowering stretch.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow's CEO (Alan)

I've heard all the myths: "Those American hype strains never perform," or "It's all about the name." Then I ran Tangie Candie. Let me tell you, the hype is real, but it's backed by substance. The first thing that hits you is the smell during late flower – it's like someone cracked open a crate of ripe tangerines next to a berry patch. Unmistakable and incredibly loud. The plants stayed surprisingly compact in veg but exploded in the first two weeks of flower, so I'd recommend a SCROG net to keep that canopy even. The buds stacked densely and were absolutely caked in resin by week 7. The high is exactly as described: a sharp, euphoric lift that gently eases into a deeply relaxing but not couch-locking stone. It's become a personal favorite for late-afternoon sessions. My pro-tip? Don't rush the dry. That incredible terp profile is worth preserving with a slow, controlled dry and a proper cure.

How to Grow Tangie Candie Successfully

Quick Overview: A high-yielding, indica-dominant photoperiod from Elev8 Seeds with an 8-9 week flowering time, ideal for growers seeking potent, aromatic results indoors or in warm climates.

Safe Start & Strong Roots: Germinate in a warm (22–25°C), humid environment. Transplant carefully to avoid shock. For explosive root development from the start, consider a root stimulant like BN-Roots to establish a robust foundation.

Vegitative Vigor: Maintain an 18/6 light cycle. This strain can bush out, so low-stress training (LST) is highly recommended to open the canopy. Keep temperatures between 22–26°C and humidity around 60-70%. Use a balanced vegetative fertilizer to support strong, green growth.

Flowering & Fattening Buds: Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to induce flowering. Expect a significant stretch in the first two weeks. Reduce humidity to 40-50% to prevent mold on the dense buds. In weeks 3-5 of flower, introduce a bloom booster rich in phosphorus and potassium to maximize bud density and resin production.

Harvest & Preservation: Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber for a balanced effect. Flush with plain water for the last 10-14 days. Dry slowly at 18-22°C and 50-60% RH for 10-14 days, then cure in jars for a minimum of 2 weeks to fully develop and preserve its incredible citrus-cream aroma.
