Considered a true classic in the marijuana world, this weed is one of the early Skunk variations. Although the specifics are not yet clear, it is believed to be the product of backcrossing Skunk #1 in the state of California. Nonetheless, it has validated its worth by having a stellar reputation in cannabis circles, winning second place in the Bio Category of the 1994 High Times Cannabis Cup.
With THC levels that can reach up to 23%, this 65% Indica strain exerts a mind-stimulating high and a serene body vibe. Its powerful yet incredibly mellow effects can make you feel more engaged and immersed during social events. On the other hand, you should be extra cautious with high dosages as there have been reports that it could cause couch-lock. But if that is what you want to achieve, then, by all means, toke away. Its enticing floral and fruity profile creates a pleasurable experience for both newbies and seasoned smokers.
This exciting varietal is available in both autoflowering and photoperiod versions that growers of all levels will appreciate. Give it basic care, and you can fill your stash with its frosty, aromatic in just a few weeks.

Orange Bud is a typical Indicaplant that grows to a manageable height. Apart from its more-than-decent yields, it is a no-fuss Mary Jane that thrives wherever you place it – indoors, outdoors or a greenhouse. It has an easygoing nature and does not need round-the-clock attention.
The name“orange” is not just indicative of its flavor and aroma, but it can also be seen in the pistils’ color. This radiant hue serves as an alluring contrast to the plant’s overall emerald-green shade. As it matures, the huge colas become loaded with buds coated by a heavy layer of trichomes.
Orange Bud’s ample yield can be maximized by employing the Sea of Green (SOG) method for indoor cultivation. This technique is great for growers with small spaces. Additionally, if you want to hasten the overall growth cycle, propagating this strain in a water medium gives the roots direct access to nutrients. After an 8-week flowering period, you should be able to harvest up to 400 grams(14 ounces) of delectable nugs per square meter.
Precise temperature and relative humidity (RH) levels will provide a better defense against pathogens and diseases. These factors should be adjusted as the plant enters its different stages.
Rearing Orange Bud outdoors is possible in a warm, continental climate with abundant sunshine and mild breezes. For growers living in the northern hemisphere, the best time to harvest is early October, before the winter season arrives. Each 90 to 120 cm (3 to 4 feet) plant can provide a massive 400-gram (14 ounces) yield.
Note that regular seeds offer a 50/50 chance of getting both male and female plants. The male plants can be used for future breeding projects, but you have to ensure that no accidental pollination occurs by placing them in a separate room. On the other hand, feminized seeds guarantee that all the seeds will turn out to be female plants – an option that is more suitable for beginners.
Orange Bud also comes in an autoflowering variant blessed with a faster growth rate and easier bud production. Cultivators who prefer auto versions over photoperiods essentially do so for two reasons: the plant does not adhere to a strict light schedule and has a speedy life cycle. Moreover, it is sturdy enough to flourish even in harsh environments because of its Ruderalis genes.
Auto Orange Bud has a life span of 7 to 9 weeks, half of which is spent in the vegetation stage while the other half is for the flowering period. It typically grows to around 100 cm (3 feet) only, yet it can generate up to 300 grams (14 ounces) of usable bud per plant. If you want to take advantage of this strain’s potential for a perennial harvest, carefully plan your growing schedule. Plant the first batch of germinated seeds in April for a June/July harvest. Then, sow another batch, and you can collect more buds before the first snowfall. Indoors, you can maximize the yield by using the Sea of Green (SOG) method.
