The Best Orange Weed Strains

Orange cultivars have been popular amongst cannabis enthusiasts since the 1980s. Not only do these types of cannabis weed strains provide an incredible high, but they come in a variety of delicious citrusy flavors, too. 

Where do orange cannabis strains get their flavor? The terpenes limonene, terpinolene, valencene, and sesquiterpene are the cause. These natural chemicals give orange cultivars their delicious aroma and flavor. In fact,  many of the same terpenes found within orange cultivars are also found in citrus fruits.

This list includes some of the best orange weed strains based on strength and flavor. Whether you’re an indoor or an outdoor cultivator, these orange weed stains are suitable for growing in a variety of conditions. 

This 70% indica strain’s beautiful green buds and bright orange pistils are aesthetically pleasing, and the combined citrus and mint flavors are delectable. When it comes to THC, expect California Dream plants to produce 20% and upwards when grown in optimal conditions.

When growing California Dream, note that the cultivar thrives in a Mediterranean or Steppe climate. The California Dream cultivar also produces tall mold-resistant plants, so if you’re an outdoor cultivar with ample space, growing outside is a good option.
