Orange Kush

These shots show the buds after a 3-month cure (I cure with the fan leaves still around the buds, then trim once curing is complete — I use the trim to make hash). Flowering time was 10 weeks and the final yield came out to 50g dry, fully trimmed. The bag appeal is excellent, with dense dark green buds and bright orange pistils; when you break them open, you get beautiful purple calyxes with some lighter green and even slightly pinkish tones, really eye-catching. The smell and taste are incredible, very pronounced notes of orange and mandarin peel, like sun-dried citrus zest, super tangie, almost like an orange soda, and the smoke is delicious — easily my favorite out of the 8 strains from this run. Effects are quite uplifting with just a toke or two in the morning alongside a coffee, but if you go further it starts very euphoric and gradually shifts into a more psychedelic-type high that lasts quite a while. I’ll definitely run this strain again; I only popped one Orange OG seed this round, so I’m really curious to explore other phenotypes, but this one is already a clear keeper for me.
