Genetics & Origin of Californian Orange
Californian Orange is an old-school classic which, according to Dutch Passion, is only available from this breeder. The hybrid of 50% Indica and 50% Sativa dates back to the year 1980 and has always been bred true since then. Its genetics come from an exceptional Californian strain; the manufacturer speaks of a traditional Californian beauty that goes back to the hippie era. It does not reveal which parent strains are behind it. Dutch Passion describes the line as strong and stable with a high resin content – even the leaves become very resinous. According to the breeder, it has a loyal fan base to this day. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod, so they only flower after the light cycle is switched to 12/12. The strain description does not state a THC or CBD value. Another classic from the same breeder is Blueberry by Dutch Passion.
Who Is Californian Orange For?
Californian Orange is a strain for everyone who prefers classic genetics to newer hybrids. It suits:
- Collectors of traditional strains with a long breeding history
- Lovers of orange and citrus aromas
- Indoor growers with sufficient room height for plants 1.2 to 2 metres tall
- Growers who value resin-rich flowers and leaves
- Consumers looking for a clear, active and sociable high
It is less suitable for anyone who expects maximum yields or depends on manufacturer figures for THC and flowering time. You can find more strains for growing in a tent under feminised indoor seeds.
Growing Californian Orange: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
For Californian Orange, Dutch Passion gives a usual height of 1.2 to 2 metres and yields of about 400 g/m²; elsewhere it says the yields are slightly above average. The flowers have a normal ratio of flowers to leaves and become very resinous. The manufacturer does not state a flowering time in the strain description; in the shop the strain is rated at 8 to 10 weeks, which is to be understood only as an approximation. At a height of up to 2 metres, you should keep the vegetative phase short or train the shoots. Not every plant shows the citrus aroma equally clearly – according to Dutch Passion, some plants exhibit it, so selecting a favourite phenotype can be worthwhile. You will find the basics in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Dutch Passion gives no information on growing outdoors in the strain description, and in the shop Californian Orange is listed as an indoor strain. The outdoor harvest is rated there as only from November – for Central European gardens that is very late, so a greenhouse or indoor growing is the safer choice. The manufacturer does not state an outdoor yield per plant. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Californian Orange
The strain takes its name from the orange scent and flavour, which Dutch Passion describes as fairly unique; some plants show a distinct citrus aroma in smell and taste. The manufacturer does not state a lab terpene profile. It describes the effect as a clear up high that makes you active and sociable – fresh, clear and strong in the old-school style. If you smoke too much, the effect becomes somewhat heavier, according to Dutch Passion. The breeder calls the strain potent but does not give a THC value; in the shop it is rated in the 11 to 19% class, which is only a rough approximation. How intense the effect is depends on dose and individual tolerance.
