Orange Bud

Generous yields and potent flowers brimming with fragrant resin – that's Orange Bud! Novice growers will appreciate its easy-going nature, while its expressive aroma and invigorating effects will captivate those craving old-school stoner vibes or passionate enthusiasts seeking the ultimate smoke.

Genetics and Characteristics

Orange Bud is a feminized photoperiod sativa-dominant (70/30) hybrid from the remote 80s, the result of complex breeding involving two Skunk phenotypes, potent South American landraces and authentic Afghan indica. The latter slightly softened the sativa dominance, increased endurance and reduced flowering period to 7-9 weeks, significantly expanding the geography of the strain's cultivation.

The plant has a sativa structure and boasts rapid vegetative growth. Elastic, massive, glossy, trichome-covered buds, when properly tended, generously cover the graceful branches, bending them with their weight and demanding the grower's attention in the final weeks of maturation.

Flavor and Aroma

A unique terpene profile dominated by sabinene, ocimene, linalool and phellandrene creates a truly unique organoleptic palette for Orange Bud. As the name suggests, the primary notes of the aroma are juicy orange and nectarine, accented with hints of vanilla and cinnamon, and wrapped in spicy sweetness and earthiness. The flavor unfolds with a refreshing burst of citrus and pungent skunk motifs.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

A high THC content of 15-20% ensures a potent and long-lasting cerebral effect characterized by a staggering surge of alertness, boundless energy, activity, and sociability. Riding the crest of the sativa wave, it sometimes seems as if the stars are within reach. Eventually, the high is replaced by laser-sharp focus and creative inspiration, ending the session with a pleasurable sense of total relaxation and all-encompassing harmony.

With its pronounced energizing and mild sedative properties, Orange Bud is effective in combating fatigue, lack of motivation, anxiety, PTSD, and stress, as well as reducing pain and inflammation.

Cultivation

Choose the sunniest and sheltered spot for the seedlings outdoors to ensure vigorous development while maintaining discretion. If you are new to growing, opt for organic soil with the addition of drainage components and mycorrhizae. Check the plant regularly for signs of pests and take preventive measures by spraying the leaves with natural insecticides (neem oil or aloe extract). Vigorous stretching can be easily tamed by training techniques that create a low-profile plant (LST, topping, tying). Install stakes or trellises to support branches loaded with massive clusters during flowering.

Indoors, use ScrOG which, in combination with full-spectrum lighting, regular watering and the application of balanced nutrients, will unleash the strain's yield potential. Monitor the environment, paying particular attention to relative humidity parameters, as large buds are particularly susceptible to mold during the flowering stage.

FAQ
