Putang

Putang is a hybrid cannabis strain produced by crossing Tangie with Star Pupil. The combination brings together two distinct genetic profiles — Tangie, known for its bright citrus expression, and Star Pupil, a strain recognized for its resinous, indica-leaning character — resulting in a cross that sits at an interesting intersection of those two lineages. On the nose, the influence of Tangie is typically front and center, delivering the citrus-forward aromatics that the parent strain is known for. Depending on the phenotype, growers and users commonly report notes ranging from tangerine peel and orange zest to earthier, slightly floral undertones contributed by the Star Pupil side. The flavor profile tends to follow the aroma closely, with citrus notes carrying through on the inhale and a subtler, more grounded finish. In terms of commonly reported effects, Putang is generally described as producing an uplifting, cerebral experience alongside a degree of physical relaxation. Users frequently note a mood-elevating quality early in the experience, which tends to settle into a more balanced, easygoing state over time. The cross appears to blend the more energetic, sativa-leaning tendencies of Tangie with the calming body qualities associated with Star Pupil, though individual experience will vary depending on phenotype and personal tolerance. Specific grow data for this strain — including flowering time, yield figures, and preferred growing environment — is not widely documented in available records. That said, growers familiar with either parent can reasonably expect plants that may lean toward moderate height with resin production consistent with the Star Pupil lineage. As with most hybrids, phenotypic variation is possible, and selection across a seed run may surface plants that favor one parent over the other in both structure and effect profile. From a breeding standpoint, Putang represents a straightforward but purposeful pairing that combines Tangie's terpene-rich citrus expression with Star Pupil's potency and body. For breeders working with either parent line, this cross offers a useful middle ground and a foundation for further genetic exploration. Its lineage makes it a strain worth attention for those interested in preserving or building on the aromatic qualities of Tangie while incorporating the resin and effect depth that Star Pupil brings to the table.
