Strain Description:

Orange Bud was developed in the early 1980s through a careful selection of Skunk genetics aimed at enhancing sweetness and fruitiness without sacrificing yield or potency. The result is a beautifully balanced hybrid that has earned its place as one of the most respected strains in Dutch cannabis history. Her buds are dense, frosty, and covered in vibrant orange pistils that give the strain its name.


This variety is loved for her combination of classic Skunk vigour and a distinct citrus fruit aroma. Easy to grow, forgiving, and adaptable, Orange Bud remains a top choice for both novice and professional growers. She produces high-quality, resinous flowers suitable for both smoking and extract production. Her stable genetic foundation ensures reliable performance, consistent structure, and uniform results in every grow.


Awards and Recognition:

As one of Dutch Passion’s most successful classic strains, Orange Bud has won multiple awards and remains a favourite in Dutch coffeeshops to this day. Alongside Power Plant and White Widow, she helped define the golden age of Amsterdam cannabis genetics.


Flavour and Aromas:

Orange Bud delivers a mouthwatering combination of sweet and tangy citrus flavours. Her aroma is dominated by notes of orange peel, nectarine, and tangerine, layered with classic Skunk earthiness. The taste is fruity, refreshing, and slightly floral, making her one of the most enjoyable Skunk variants available. When cured properly, her buds emit a scent reminiscent of freshly squeezed orange juice and tropical fruits, making her instantly recognisable even among experienced connoisseurs.


Strain Lineage:

• Original Skunk Selection: Orange Bud was developed from a selective breeding project focused on isolating the sweetest, fruitiest phenotypes of early Skunk genetics. The result was a stable, uniform hybrid with enhanced flavour and potency.


The strain continues to serve as a foundation for many modern hybrids due to her stability, adaptability, and unmistakable citrus profile.


Growing Information:

Orange Bud is known for her vigorous growth and adaptability. She thrives in all growing mediums — soil, coco, or hydro — and responds well to various training techniques. Her sturdy structure, strong stems, and balanced internode spacing make her ideal for both SOG (Sea of Green) and SCROG (Screen of Green) setups. During flowering, she typically doubles in size and produces long, fully stacked colas covered in sticky resin and bright orange hairs.


She performs best under consistent light intensity and moderate nutrient levels, making her suitable for beginners and experienced growers alike. Orange Bud is a resilient strain that can tolerate minor fluctuations in feeding and environmental conditions without issue. Indoors, she completes flowering in approximately 7–9 weeks, while outdoor growers can expect to harvest around early to mid-autumn, depending on the climate.


Flowering Time:

Orange Bud has a flowering period of around 7–9 weeks indoors. In optimal conditions, some phenotypes can finish as early as week 7. She continues to grow for about two weeks after switching to 12/12 lighting before focusing energy on bud production. Outdoors, flowering completes by early October in most temperate climates. With an overall seed-to-harvest time of 12–14 weeks, she offers a fast turnaround while maintaining exceptional quality and density.


Yield:

Orange Bud produces consistently high yields of premium-grade cannabis. Indoors, yields average 400–450+ g/m², with even higher results possible under expert care or SOG conditions. Outdoors, in sunny climates with rich soil, she can produce abundant harvests of dense, resinous flowers. Her buds are relatively easy to trim due to a favourable calyx-to-leaf ratio, and the frosty trichome coverage makes her highly desirable for hash and concentrate production.


Effects:

Orange Bud’s effects are uplifting, social, and energising. Her high begins with a bright, euphoric rush that enhances creativity and focus, making her ideal for daytime use. The experience evolves into a happy, relaxed buzz without heavy sedation. Users often describe her as a “feel-good” strain that helps reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue. With THC levels ranging between 15–20%, she provides a balanced potency suitable for both casual and experienced consumers. Her zesty terpene profile, rich in limonene and myrcene, complements the effect with a refreshing and motivating aroma.


Strain Summary:

Orange Bud (Feminised) by Dutch Passion is a timeless classic that continues to impress growers and consumers alike. A vigorous, easy-to-grow hybrid with sweet citrus flavours, dense buds, and an uplifting high, she represents everything that made classic Skunks legendary. Suitable for all growing environments and techniques, Orange Bud remains a cornerstone of modern cannabis genetics — reliable, potent, and bursting with orange-scented charm.
