Its buds emanate the same citric profile too with its electric lime hue accentuated by the fiery yellow and orange hairs around the bud.
However, its true power lies in its energizing Sativa effects which have enticed users all over the world.

As a tropical strain, Purple Tangie has a natural propensity for the sunny weather of a Mediterranean climate.

Rather, it will take longer to flower as there is often not enough sunlight. Still, there are many who prefer cultivating the Sativa-dominant strain indoors.
Having basic gardening skills and knowledge with various growing techniques is usually a must to maximize indoor yields.
One of the most important is topping the plant. This entails forcing the plant to flower early to encourage more budding sites to sprout as well as keep it short in an area with little vertical space.
Applying a Low-Stress Training method like the Screen of Green will also ensure an even canopy that allows light and air to circulate in the lower nodes.
This will require installing a screen at a height above the batch and trimming any branch that grows beyond.
