Also known as: Killer Orange Kush, Orange Killer
Killer Orange Strain Overview
Killer Orange is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its distinctive citrus profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. It represents a careful cross between notable parent strains, resulting in a genetic profile that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users seeking a flavorful experience with moderate psychoactive intensity.
The strain is visually characterized by dense, resinous buds that exhibit a vibrant orange hue interwoven with deep green foliage and occasional purple accents, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The orange pistils are especially prominent, giving the strain its name. A thick coating of trichomes covers the flowers, indicating its potency. The aroma is immediately recognizable as a sharp, sweet citrus explosion, predominantly of ripe oranges, with underlying earthy and spicy notes that become more apparent when the buds are broken apart.
Killer Orange is noted for its well-rounded effects that begin with an uplifting cerebral onset before settling into a gentle physical relaxation. This makes it suitable for daytime or evening use, depending on the individual's tolerance and the specific phenotype. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries in legal markets, particularly appreciated by users who prioritize flavor and aroma alongside functional effects. Its reliability and distinctive sensory profile have secured it a niche following among cannabis connoisseurs.

Killer Orange Strain Growing Information
Killer Orange is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors.
