Strain Description:

Orange Bud Regular represents the true essence of classic Dutch breeding. A stable Skunk hybrid with a proven track record, she combines easy cultivation with strong, uplifting effects and exceptional flavour. Discovered during Dutch Passion’s original Skunk selection program, Orange Bud quickly earned its place in Dutch coffeeshops for its intense aroma, reliability, and dense, orange-haired buds. This regular version offers the same quality and stability as the feminised strain but provides both male and female plants, allowing experienced growers to explore breeding projects or preserve original genetics.


Her buds are dense, crystal-covered, and bursting with a rich citrus aroma. The balance between her Sativa and Indica traits makes her vigorous, adaptable, and forgiving — a true workhorse for both professional and hobbyist growers.


Flavour and Aromas:

Orange Bud’s terpene profile is dominated by bright, citrus-forward notes of orange, tangerine, and nectarine. The aroma is sweet, fruity, and slightly floral, with a classic Skunk base that enhances depth and complexity. On the inhale, expect a tangy, refreshing citrus flavour, followed by smooth, sweet undertones on the exhale. Her scent is instantly recognisable and remains one of the most distinctive among classic Dutch strains.


Strain Lineage:

• Original Skunk Selection: The foundation of Orange Bud comes from early Skunk breeding work in the 1980s. Selected for its sweetness, vigour, and resin production, Orange Bud became a cornerstone of Dutch cannabis genetics and remains one of the purest representations of the original Skunk line.


This regular seed release allows growers to experience Orange Bud in her natural, unaltered form — perfect for breeding and preservation projects.


Growing Information:

Orange Bud Regular grows vigorously in any setup, making her suitable for soil, coco, or hydro systems. She develops a strong central cola with heavy side branching and can adapt to various training techniques including SOG (Sea of Green) and SCROG (Screen of Green). Her sturdy structure and forgiving nature make her an excellent choice for growers of all skill levels. The plants respond well to topping, bending, and low-stress training, producing multiple bud sites loaded with trichomes.


She typically doubles in size during the early flowering stage and produces thick, heavy colas coated in sticky resin. Her leaf-to-bud ratio is excellent, making trimming fast and efficient. Orange Bud Regular also performs well outdoors in temperate and Mediterranean climates, where she can reach impressive sizes and produce large harvests of citrus-scented buds.


Flowering Time:

Orange Bud Regular completes her flowering cycle in 7–9 weeks. Indoors, she transitions smoothly from the vegetative to the flowering phase and continues to grow for about two weeks after switching to 12/12 lighting. Outdoors, harvest time typically falls between late September and early October, depending on the local climate. Her flowering speed, combined with her reliability and resistance, makes her a versatile choice for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.


Yield:

Yields from Orange Bud Regular are consistently high. Indoor growers can expect approximately 400–450 g/m², while outdoor plants can produce even larger harvests when given sufficient space and sunlight. The buds are compact and heavy, with a thick coating of resin that gives them a frosty, sticky appearance. Her excellent calyx-to-leaf ratio makes trimming straightforward, and her vibrant orange hairs add an unmistakable visual appeal.


Effects:

Orange Bud delivers a bright, cheerful high that captures the uplifting essence of classic Skunk. Her effects are fast-acting and long-lasting, promoting a sense of happiness, creativity, and social energy. The high is mostly cerebral, with a gentle physical relaxation that never becomes overwhelming. Perfect for daytime use, she’s ideal for social activities, creative work, or simply enjoying a positive mood boost. The combination of citrus terpenes and moderate-to-high THC levels provides a refreshing, mood-enhancing experience that leaves users motivated and clear-headed.
