How to grow Auto Orange Bud
Taste
Seb's take
Orange Bud crossed with the house's Auto Daiquiri Lime, a compact plant that keeps a low profile despite years of development behind it. Pungent orange and lime on the nose; the high is happy, euphoric and creative, and at 26% THC, worth the wait the breeders clearly took.
Where it comes from
Orange Bud is a long-standing Dutch Passion selection, and here the house has crossed her with their own Auto Daiquiri Lime to bring the line into autoflowering form. The record notes several years of development behind the result, an unusually patient piece of breeding for a plant marketed on convenience. She grows compactly and keeps a low profile, which the discreet cultivator will appreciate. A citrus lineage, in other words, both named and bred to smell of the fruit bowl, and clearly worth the wait the breeders took.
Nose & flavour
Pungent orange leads, exactly as the name would have it, with a sharper lime note behind from the Daiquiri Lime side of the cross. There is nothing coy about the aroma, it is loud, fruity and unmistakably citrus. The compact stature does little to keep it quiet, so an odour filter is a sensible companion. A bright, holiday sort of nose, and a persuasive one.
The high
Happy, euphoric and creative, an upward, sociable sort of experience rather than a sedating one, well suited to daytime and company. At 26% THC, though, the lift carries real weight behind it, so the compact plant belies a strength worth respecting. Pace the first encounter accordingly, and let the cheer arrive on its own terms.
Growing it
She flowers in roughly 70 to 77 days and yields a generous 400 to 500 g/m². The record gives no height figure, so I will not guess at one, but the description is clear that she stays compact and low-profile, welcome news for anyone growing where discretion matters. The years of development the breeders put in show in the potency more than the stature. An autoflower that asks little of your ceiling and rather more of your tolerance.
