DK Orange
Also known as: Dutch King Orange, Orange DK
DK Orange Strain Overview
DK Orange is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the Netherlands in the early 2000s, representing a cross between classic Dutch genetics and American West Coast breeding techniques. The strain was developed by combining Orange Bud, a well-known Dutch staple, with an undisclosed indica-dominant hybrid, resulting in a balanced hybrid that showcases the best characteristics of both parent lines. Its development reflects the era when Dutch breeders began incorporating more diverse genetic material to create strains with complex flavor profiles and reliable effects.
The strain is characterized by its vibrant orange pistils that contrast sharply against its forest green buds, which are typically dense and resinous with a moderate coating of trichomes. The buds often display purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. DK Orange plants typically grow to medium height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has gained recognition for its consistent performance and distinctive citrus aroma that remains prominent throughout the growth cycle.
Notable features include its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it versatile for different times of day. The strain has maintained popularity in European markets and has seen limited distribution in North America through specialty breeders. While not as widely available as some commercial hybrids, DK Orange has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its classic Dutch heritage combined with modern hybrid characteristics.

DK Orange Strain Growing Information
DK Orange is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like SCROG or topping. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a flush period before harvest to enhance flavor profiles.
