What are orange cannabis strains ?

Orange cannabis strains have earned a great reputation for heavy yielding THC rich buds with a uniquely delicious citrus taste and aroma. The origins of orange weed strains lies partly in a 1970’s road trip to California by Dutch Passion founder Henk van Dalen. That strain hunting trip provided some fantastic genetics in the form of Californian Orange. Some European skunk selections also provided high quality genetics for some modern orange strains.

Orange strains of weed are perhaps most well known for the distinctive orange terpene profile which gives a rich, deep citrus taste and scent. But the best orange strains also pack a serious THC rich punch too. You can grow orange sativa strains as well as orange indica strains. Orange strains have been used extensively in breeding, thanks to the high yields, high potency and great taste. This has allowed orange Afghani strains, Asian orange strains and African orange strains. As well as the orange aroma, many growers love the appearance of strains with dark orange hairs.

How to get the most tasty orange buds?

Many feel that growing organically in soil gives the best taste. Growing in soil with slow release organic nutrients is not only simple, it also delivers a really tangy citrus taste. The experts recommend growing your orange cannabis strains under LED grow lights for the best terpene profile. Optimised lighting conditions without temperature extremes is a great way to maximise citrus terpenes such as Limonene. The blue light treatment is also a good way to maximise orange taste. Those with adjustable spectrum LED lights can cut out red light and only deliver blue light for the last 2-3 days. This boosts terpene production.
