Orange Bud Auto Strain Review Having wrapped up my latest grow of Orange Bud Auto, it's time to reflect on how this autoflowering version stacks up against its photoperiod counterpart and overall performance. Growing Experience Growing Orange Bud Auto was a solid experience. The plant showed impressive vigor and resilience, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced growers. However, in hindsight, topping this strain might not have been the best approach. If I were to grow it again, I’d stick to low-stress training (LST) up until the preflower stage. This technique better supports light penetration and airflow without the potential yield dip I observed with topping. Aroma and Flavor The scent profile of Orange Bud Auto is pleasant and recognizable, though it didn’t quite reach the aromatic depth of the Tangie from my Fastbuds outdoor grow. The fragrance leans towards sweet, with subtle citrus and floral notes, but the true highlight is in its taste. On the palate, you can expect a classic citrus zest mingled with earthy undertones, delivering a flavorful smoke that’s enjoyable yet understated compared to some more pungent strains. Effects and High The high from Orange Bud Auto strikes a balanced chord between uplifting sativa and calming indica influences. It delivers a smooth, long-lasting buzz that keeps you engaged and upbeat without veering into couch-lock territory. It isn’t overly racy, making it an excellent strain for daytime and evening use. The high is mellow enough for creative pursuits, listening to music, or socializing with friends. Potency and Suitability This isn’t a powerhouse strain, so if you’re a heavy smoker with a high tolerance, it might not hit the mark for intensity. However, it’s perfect for those looking for an easy-going high that doesn’t overwhelm. The effects are best described as a pleasant, sustained euphoria with a clear head and a relaxed body—a great option for those who prefer a balanced, mild experience over the hard-hitting strains. Final Thoughts Orange Bud Auto is an appealing strain for those who appreciate a nuanced, sociable high and are looking for an everyday strain that can transition seamlessly from afternoon activities to evening relaxation. It may not be as terpene-rich as some of the more modern varieties, but it brings a solid, enjoyable experience that pays homage to the original Orange Bud lineage.

Seems to be a good lineup. But it's the first time growing with coco and mineral fertilizer. So I have no comparison. But plants seem to like it. The grow fertilizer has very high nitrogen ratio. One plant had a nitrogen toxicity though I only gave 2/3 of the recommended amount in preflower phase. I recommend for Auto flowers to give half of the dosage of the feeding chart.

They work like they should. I'm satisfied and will use it again.

Solid products. Only used pH+ and pH - to adjust the pH. Did work like it should.
