Acid Orange
Also known as: Acid Orange Kush
Acid Orange Strain Overview
Acid Orange is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Orange Bud and an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, believed to be a Kush variety. The strain first gained attention in the early 2010s among European breeders and has since become popular in both European and North American markets. Its name derives from the intense citrus aroma reminiscent of orange zest combined with a potent, mind-altering effect that some users describe as 'psychedelic' or 'trippy'.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with bright orange pistils. The buds are typically medium to large in size and covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Acid Orange is known for its distinctive terpene profile that creates a complex aromatic experience, combining sweet citrus notes with earthy undertones and a subtle diesel-like finish.
Notable features include its relatively fast flowering time and adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Acid Orange has developed a dedicated following among users seeking a unique sensory experience that differs from more common citrus-forward varieties.

Acid Orange Strain Growing Information
Acid Orange is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Acid Orange responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The plants benefit from regular feeding with balanced nutrients and require adequate spacing for optimal airflow.
