Growing 

By back crossing the original seeds brought back from the West Coast almost 40 years ago, we were able to recreate all the best traits from this lady, making her extremely uniform and homogenous. We were capable of enhancing the yields and terpene profile of the parental line even further, making this strain ideal for commercial growers.

Indoor
A great choice for beginner growers as she does not stretch much once flowering starts, making her ideal for indoor growers with limited height.

The flowering period can take up to 65-70 days; however, she is well worth the wait and will reward you with big frosted buds, with orange and pink hairs wrapped around. A beautiful strain that is a real head turner and has incredible bag appeal in terms of appearance and aroma.

Outdoors
Outdoors, she stays short and stocky and will produce thick side branches and short internodal spacing. We recommend plant the California Orange Bud seeds outdoors in spring time, harvesting front the middle to end of October, depending on climate.

Fungal resistance

An old school variety that has a strong resistance to spider mites and powdery mildew. She can endure drought conditions and heat stress with no real issues.

Flowering time

Indoor
Some phenotypes will finish flowering within 63-65 days, with the largest sized plants requiring a full 70 days. The buds will swell and become thick and dense, so we advise using a microscope to check the trichomes up close.

Outdoor
Growers who live in a hot climate will finish with rock solid buds in 63 days, with some plants requiring a week more before being ready. We recommend planting outdoors in a South-facing location for best results, and to ensure the plants receive the most sunlight over the seasons.

Yield

Indoor
Yields of 550 g/m² (1,8 oz per square foot) are possible with this hybrid, and we strongly recommend growing in a Sea of Green for maximum production. She is an excellent strain for growing in small-sized pots, such as 10 liter (2 gallon) pots.

Outdoor
It is possible to harvest 1000 grams (35.5 oz) per plant outdoors when grown from spring until the fall.

Plant height & structure

California Orange Bud Feminized will grow displaying indica and sativa traits finishing around 125 cm (49.2 inches) tall making her a well-balanced hybrid, that grows medium height. As she is a big-yielding cultivar, her growth structure will remain more bushy than tall, as she fills out with plenty of vegetative growth.

Training

We recommend California Orange Bud for growers who enjoy training their plants, she has incredible potential. Topping and tying down will produce the most productive plants, and we advise pruning the lower 75% of growth before flowering to improve airflow and induce a top-heavy canopy.

Smell, taste and effect

The best way to describe California Orange Bud is to imagine freshly squeezed oranges, lemons, and a lingering skunky aroma mixed. There are earthy and floral overtones that give this cultivar a very smooth, bold, and distinctive orange juice scent.

When lighting a joint, her flavor is zesty, orange, mandarin, and candy all mixed into one smooth sensation, that reveals itself further upon exhaling. It won’t take long before her effects kick in, giving you an overwhelming sense of calmness and clarity, with an edge of alertness like a good old boost of vitamin C.

The effects of California Orange Bud are a mixture of upbeat, high energy with a relaxing physical effect that runs through the entire body. A great choice for social occasions, as well as smokers with a low tolerance who enjoy deep conversation and a spark of creativity.

Smokers who will a lower tolerance to potent, high THC varieties will find this strain a very comforting choice that is a perfect balance of indica and sativa.
