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.

Tangie Smoke Report Growing and smoking Tangie has been a pure joy from start to finish. The unique effects and flavors varied significantly between the different harvest times, making this strain truly versatile. Smell and Flavor: The first sample had a very citrusy taste with light orange notes, and the flavor lingered pleasantly after a hit from my vaporizer. After full curing, the scent when opening the jars was delightful. The later harvested buds offered a fuller taste, blending light citrus with a hint of tangerine, enhancing the overall experience. Effects: The first harvest, taken with 20% clear and 80% cloudy trichomes, delivers an energetic and cerebral high. It sets in quickly, like a wave of euphoria that travels from your body right to your brain. It’s perfect for creative activities—I picked up my guitar and completely lost myself in the music, making it great “guitar weed.” It’s also a fun social high; when shared with friends at a city celebration, everyone felt energized and had a great time. The later harvested buds, taken with 20% amber trichomes, offer a slightly different vibe. The high still kicks in fast but feels more balanced between energy and relaxation, maintaining creativity with an uplifted mood. It’s perfect for outdoor activities, and when combined with nature, it gives off a “every little thing, is gonna be alright” vibe—pure bliss. Having both options has been a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend experimenting with different harvest times to explore a strain’s full potential. Final Thoughts: That’s it for now, folks! It was a pleasure sharing my harvest report of this season’s standout strain. She's the clear winner (so far). Watch out for my other diary and find out if my Orange bud plant can push her from the first place. Lastly I want to thank Fast Buds for creating such a nice strain ️️
