Hey sativa lovers
I'm back with a report on my first pick-up of Sour Tangie and Golden Goat strains
. I've waited to have three weeks with both of these new-to-me strains and I've been able to vape a number of bowls... a number or ways and with breaks interspersed
. The great news is that I was able to get a high quality batch of both strains. The pictures didn't lie
.
In more detail and first off, the Sour Tangie batch looks great... vibrant with frostiness to the naked eye (visible trichomes). It has a more leafy less dense look and it feels lighter. Lots of pistils too. The Golden Goat looked more dense and even more frosty to the naked eye
. The trichomes in both strains are amber in color which means a more subtle frosty look in my experience than indicas (which generally have a higher contrast from white trichomes). Thus the visibly frosty sativas I've experienced have been potent sativas
.
On to the vaping and experience. I like to vape at low temps first (320 F) to derive the most stimulating sativa effects first
. Starting at the top, Sour Tangie is the stand-out for me (over Golden Goat). I love strong sativas and the Sour Tangie and batch delivers... hard
; it's very potent
. I find every strain has a different profile in experience and ST is no different. First thing I've consistently noticed is that it has a very unique flavor. You can really taste the sour in it (from the East Coast Sour Diesel). This is very different from the other sativas I have and have sampled, and easy to pick out. Next, Sour Tangie hits very quick. Notably quicker than my other sativa strains. Four minutes in on the first session and I am
. Related to that, I also find that ST really ramps up hard too
; ST is definitely a bracing sativa, which I love.
I get cerebral frontal lobe 'tingling' that good sativas have, strongly as well... but in a kind of different way (there's a different frontal lobe sensation from other strains). It reminds me a bit of the feeling of physical pressure, like the Headband strain which has that notable physical pressure sensation, but different. Wikileaf describes similar cerebral sensations, which I discovered after my Sour Tangie experiences
. As the experience settles in for a few hours plus, I feel the estimated 20% indica components contributing a very enjoyable and welcome physical relaxation component; it reminds me of Acapulco Gold in this way, a similarly described strong sativa. The overall experience I get with ST is an invigorating initial strong cerebral experience followed over time by an enjoyable more-rounded sativa expression, and in combination with a nice physical relaxation component. Excellent
.
FWIW, the strongest expression of these aforementioned effects happen when I take ST as the first session after a cannabis break (which I do every week... and am doing right now
). I've done ST three times this way alone over the last three weeks and can report consistent effects.
Sour Tangie is a winner; highly recommended
. In quality batches it's very potent stuff for the strong intense cerebral sativa fan
.
Here's a few pictures of my ST batch

Looking at the Sour Tangie genetics it makes me want to try Tangie even more
. That's where ST gets its more intense cerebral effects from. Anyone here tried Tangie?
I've drafted Golden Goat feedback but will wait to fill it out with real-time feedback and post it up when I have the a fresh batch in the next day or so.
Cheers, enjoy your Friday... and sativas
!
