Naranga
Also known as: Orange Naranga
Naranga Strain Overview
Naranga is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed in the Netherlands, though its precise origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding literature. The strain appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as part of a wave of citrus-forward cultivars, with breeders specifically selecting for pronounced orange terpene profiles. The name 'Naranga' is derived from the Spanish word for orange, reflecting its dominant aromatic characteristics.
Visually, Naranga plants typically display dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often a vibrant green with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes. The pistils tend toward orange and rust colors, creating a visually striking contrast against the green foliage. The buds are usually resinous and sticky to the touch, with a texture that suggests careful cultivation.
Naranga is particularly noted for its distinctive aromatic profile that strongly emphasizes citrus notes, specifically reminiscent of fresh oranges and tangerines. This characteristic has made it popular among consumers seeking fruity, uplifting cannabis experiences. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, with an initial cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions to physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on dosage and individual tolerance.

Naranga Strain Growing Information
Naranga is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Naranga responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though it prefers stable environmental conditions. The strain is suitable for indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates when grown outdoors. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in dense buds. Some phenotypes may benefit from low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and yield.
