Description
Genetics: Tangie x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies
Type: Sativa Hybrid
Seed Type: Regular
Flowering: 9 weeks
Yield: Very Good
The smell is mouth-watering and LOUD. Fresh and dried buds will fill a room with the smell of orange cream soda. The taste matches the smell exactly and lingers on the taste buds. Tangerine Cookies lab tests showed our sample had 5.5% terpenes. This strain is a rock-star.
Top Notch 👍
One of my favorite choices for sure
Big yield
No big stretch
Easy training/roping to gain yields
Amazing flavors
Cannot go wrong

It’d all about the genotype. There must’ve been 20 different breeders that made 20 different Tangie x GSC crosses. In my humble opinion, only two of the 6-7 I personally grew out were connoisseur quality. The phenomenal Oni Noodles Tropicana Cookies, and this baby right here, Elev8’s Tangerine Cookies. They are spectacularly unique plants, bred especially when compared to one another, especially considering that they have identical parental genetics. That alone is incredible. But as I said, it’s all about the genotype. No two Tangies will have exactly the same genetics unless one is a clone of the other. And making the right choice when it comes to parental genetics is the key.
There’s lots of talented breeders out there, but there’s so many working with similar genetics (read: Clones with Identical Genes) especially out west, that the same often mediocre results can be expected. R&D in breeding is crucial. Especially when making regular seeds, because males are really difficult to ID which will be the best parents.
For example, I’ve used male Apollo 11 plants in one of my hybrid projects.. I had 4 possible fathers. One was sticky, stinky, and had visible terpenes, but a very loose structure, two didn’t really smell, but was resinous and had a dense flower structure and was the tallest male, three wasn’t sticky or stinky but had the most amazing structure, and four was an outlier, with large Indica leaves, a short, stocky, and bushy stature and a pleasant smell.
The females were all a very nice cut of Cherry Punch. I thought the first plant would produce the best seeds, but I was wrong. Although it appeared to be the best male, it didn’t pass on those remarkable traits. A quirk of male cannabis plants that I’ll never understand. Some of the offspring were excellent, but too few.
The second father did better, remarkably passing on the most terpenes despite apparently lacking in their expression itself. Three was the best father, despite lacking resinous flowers, visible trichomes, or a strong scent, only with its structure going for it, but it was the plant most likely to pass in Apollo 11’s most desirable traits including its unique terpenes, a solid trichome coat, which was the mother’s most obvious winning trait, as well as the structure I chose to test it for. The fourth did indeed pass on mostly indica looking traits, as well as its terpenes which matched the Cherry Punches well. But when it came to the smoke, even 4 had a sativa dominant effect, despite its physical appearance.
Three was the undisputed winner, but in a lineup, he would probably be passed over in favor of a more apparently expressive male. Which is why R&D – particularly with males, is so important. The most apparently 🔥 male may not pass those traits on to most of its offspring. It’s an unusual mystery of males (& some females too, though I’ve found that they more reliably pass on their genetic expressions), and of cannabis breeding generally.
It’d all about the genotypes used to make the seeds.
grew it last winter indoors and grew it this summer outdoors. Was a fantastic looking and smelling plant. Lots of tricombs and lots of buds. Purposefully bought this strain to make some of my own seeds and was very happy to get males and collect pollen. Made some fantastic looking new seeds from this wonderful plant. I love all their products. When you put this stuff through a rosin heat press the end result is heaven in a dab : } I have my medical license to grow.
