Californian Orange

Why choose Californian Orange feminised seeds?

Californian Orange is an old-school cannabis classic that has been cherished by connoisseurs for decades. It stands out for its excellent terpene profile and relaxing high. This medium-sized, high-yielding strain has an average flowering time of around 9 weeks. It is known for its resinous nature, compact structure, and a good flower-to-leaf ratio.

The dominant orange aroma and flavor are truly delightful. The effect is both energetic and euphoric, with a slight uplifting quality that also offers physical relaxation. A small percentage of plants may develop male flowers under severe stress, so it's important to monitor your plants closely during flowering and act quickly if any male flowers appear.

A beloved cup-winning old-school cannabis variety

Californian Orange has earned numerous awards over the years. She won her first prize in 2013, later taking first place at the Copa Txapelketa in Spain. In 2016, she claimed two different cups at the same event in Argentina. She also took first place at the Copa Cannabis in both the Outdoor and Extract categories, proving her versatility for both indoor and outdoor cultivation as well as for making cannabis extracts.

Citrus-dominant aroma with notes of orange, mandarin, lemon, and earth

As the name suggests, Californian Orange has a strong citrus scent and flavor. The strain is rich in myrcene and limonene, giving it a pronounced citrus profile. While most plants offer a strong citrus aroma and taste, some phenotypes may have more floral or tropical notes with occasional earthy undertones.

All plants produce significant resin, which extends into the leaves. It's a very sticky strain with a potent and pungent terpene profile, even if it's not the most potent in terms of THC content. The scent starts gently during flowering but becomes a wonderful fresh citrus aroma once fully developed. It may have a slightly sour edge with mainly citrus and lime notes, while the taste combines orange and mandarin with occasional earthy or skunky undertones.

A rich history originating from California, USA

The origins of Californian Orange trace back to the 1970s when Dutch Passion explored California for a unique cannabis strain with a distinct citrus profile. The goal was to find a plant with a real orange and lemon scent and taste. This exceptional Californian plant was brought to Amsterdam, where selective breeding led to the creation of this strain for the European market.

Californian Orange is a 50/50 Indica/Sativa hybrid with Californian roots. It was crossed in the 1980s and is exclusively available from Dutch Passion. The genetics come from a plant with a powerful terpene profile of ripe oranges and mandarins, backed by an earthy foundation. It's a true old-school USA classic that has remained popular among connoisseurs for decades.

Big sticky buds with a thick resin layer and strong citrus aroma

Californian Orange is a strong and stable strain with a solid layer of resin and trichomes, even on the leaves. Despite the rise of newer strains, it has retained a loyal following among growers. The old-fashioned effect offers a clear energetic high combined with an excellent terpene profile.

The intense orange scent and taste are never boring, and the yield is medium to large. The smoking experience is far from average, offering a relaxing high that gives energy, euphoria, and a dreamy state. It prefers a stable indoor climate and flowers in about 9 to 10 weeks indoors. It's suitable for hydroponics or SOG techniques and can be grown as a multi-topped bush or naturally into a 1-meter-tall plant with normal pre-growth.
