Tangerine Sunrise and Diesel Wreck
Here comes the Sun! Today the Sun moves into Leo, brightening and lightening up our days. It's been an emotional month, filled with exhilaration and exasperation! But, Leo promises to bring more warmth, more joy and more enthusiasm to our lives. And, since I am born under the sign of Leo, I ushered in the Lion with a big, bold sativa, Tangerine Sunrise.
Tangerine Sunrise is a pure sativa strain, just what the Lion ordered! It was created by the Colorado Seed Co by crossing Hawaiian Sunrise and Tangenesia and was named one of the ten best strains of 2014 in the West.
Tangerine Sunrise’s nugs are moderately dense with deep, firey “sunrise-like” trichrome fibers. But this flower isn’t just all about its good looks. Oh, there’s much more to Tangerine Sunrise than meets the eye. Its flavor is also an attention getter -possessing a big bold citrus flavor, which is balanced out with a woody, herbaceous essence that is surprisingly refreshing. But, the star of the Tangerine Sunrise show is its effects. This strain immediately uplifts mood, boosts energy, improves creativity, prompts giggles and chattiness, followed by an unexpected feeling of mild relaxation, unlike most straight sativa strains.
As far as medical benefits go, Tangerine Sunrise works great for depression, fatigue, pain, stress, and inflammation. It is an all-around enjoyable flower from its flavor and aroma to its relaxing effects. Whether you’re waking up or winding down- Tangerine Sunrise is an easygoing bud that will definitely welcome your sunrise or the sunset!
The next big sunny strain that I tried this week was Diesel Wreck, also known as Diesel Wreck Haze. Diesel Wreck is an 80/20 sativa dominant hybrid created by crossing Nevil’s Wreck and East Coast Sour Diesel and the results are a strain that is a chip of the old blocks. Much like its parents, this strain has a strong pungent aroma and flavor of diesel. It’s buds are mint colored with bright white trichomes and are shaped like small peppers. It’s those small unassuming pepper shaped buds that explode when consumed, lifting your mood up, inspiring creativity, sociability and laughter.
This strain will give you the get up and go to get your entire to do list done and to have fun doing so. It is the ideal strain to help this Lion get her roar back and to go courageously into her future, filled with love and light.
