Atomic Orange
Also known as: Atomic Orange Kush
Atomic Orange Strain Overview
Atomic Orange is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by combining the genetics of Orange Velvet and Lemon Kush. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from California-based breeders seeking to create a citrus-forward hybrid with balanced effects. The strain gained popularity for its distinctive orange aroma and well-rounded experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds with a conical structure. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, covered in a generous layer of frosty trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the buds, complementing the strain's citrus theme. The buds are typically resinous and sticky to the touch, with a structure that makes them suitable for various consumption methods.
Atomic Orange is noted for its strong citrus profile that dominates both aroma and flavor. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Its moderate THC range makes it accessible to various experience levels, though novice users should approach with caution due to its potential potency.

Atomic Orange Strain Growing Information
Atomic Orange is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-20 ounces per plant outdoors.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Growers should monitor humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. Atomic Orange responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants typically develop a bushy structure that benefits from pruning to improve airflow and light penetration.
