California Orange is an old-school indica/sativa hybrid cannabis strain that dates back to the early 1980s if not before! A terrific resin producer, California Orange produces good to very good yields in just 9 weeks flowering indoors. Its dense buds have a really strong orange/citrus flavour and deliver a very potent, uplifting, happy high but one which may induce the old "cotton mouth" feeling so it is advisable to keep a drink handy. Heavier doses can lead to a more couch-lock indica-type stoned effect. Medically it can be used to help combat stress and depression.
Strain FAQ
What's the deal with spectral sensitivity in 12/12 photoperiod strains?
It's fascinating to know that 12/12 photoperiod strains may have a favourite colour! Changing the light spectrum during blooming can apparently boost cannabinoid and terpene production, increasing both quality and yield.
Why is creating a 50/50 Indica/Sativa cannabis strain so difficult?
Getting the right 50/50 blend is like walking a tightrope! Breeders carefully cross and recross generations of plants to lock down the proper qualities. Creating a constant Indica-Sativa blend in their offspring can take years of painstaking devotion!
How do breeders develop orange-flavored strains?
Breeders blend strains like chefs to boost orange flavour. By deliberately breeding plants with strong citrus qualities, they've created strains that smell and taste like an orange grove.
How can offering single seeds help the wallet?
Single seed selections are a cheap method to try out a variety of strains which is perfect for dabblers and experimenters. As curiosity costs drop, it's possible to shake things up one seed at a time without breaking the bank!
Can early finishing strains negatively impact cannabis terpenes and flavour?
Not at all—early-finishing strains are often said to have varied terpene profiles. Even with early harvest appropriateness, these varieties reportedly retain their fragrances, flavours, and therapeutic effects.
