How to grow Orange Bud
Seb's take
The name refers to the rich citrus flavour rather than the colour of the flowers, though orange, citrus and skunk on the nose make the point moot either way. The high runs happy, uplifted, euphoric, relaxed and energetic, built on Skunk #1 stock bred for speed and ease as much as taste. A jaw-dropping novelty in the eighties, a dependable classic now.
Growing Orange Bud: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.
Flowering runs the standard 8 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
A middling 140 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
A solid, dependable yield — 458 – 488 g/m² under decent conditions. Nothing that requires bragging; everything that justifies the effort. The yield lesson covers getting to "decent conditions".
Breeder figures put THC around 23% — firmly in the strong band. The number speaks for itself; we'll not add adjectives to it.
Citrus leads the nose — sharp, clean, and inclined to announce itself.
Effects report as chiefly uplifting — she raises the tone of a room rather than lowering the lights.
