How to grow Californian Orange
Taste
Seb's take
Freshly peeled orange from first sniff to last, sweet and citrus-bright throughout. The high is old-school Sativa in spirit: euphoric, uplifting, sociable, and built for daylight hours with no trace of couch-lock. A straightforward name for a strain that delivers exactly what it promises.
Where it comes from
Dutch Passion trace this back to a Californian line, and the name carries no mystery, she is an orange through and through, in scent and in spirit. Fifty percent each way between indica and sativa, though the old-school sativa character is what comes through in the glass. A long-standing house working from Californian stock, and the result is as straightforward as its label suggests.
Nose & flavour
Freshly peeled orange, from first sniff to last, sweet and citrus-bright, clean enough to satisfy a fussy palate. There is no muddle here and no second-guessing; the nose is exactly what the name puts on the tin, and it holds that clarity right through.
The high
Social, happy and energetic, old-school sativa in temperament, euphoric and uplifting, and built for daylight with no trace of couch-lock to slow you down. At 22 to 26 percent THC it has the strength to keep pace with the character. Company and daylight suit it best.
Growing it
Flowering in around 63 days at 400 to 500 g/m², with THC a genuine 22 to 26 percent and a listed 1 percent CBD. Mind the height: 120 to 200cm on the record, so she can stretch and will want the headroom, plan the space before she asks for it. A tall, bright, sativa-leaning plant that pays back a grower who has given her room to reach.
