Naranja Mecánica
Also known as: Orange Mechanic, Mecánica Naranja
Naranja Mecánica Strain Overview
Naranja Mecánica is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Spanish breeders that has gained popularity in European cannabis markets. The name translates to 'Orange Mechanic' in English, reflecting its prominent citrus characteristics and mechanical precision in its effects. This strain was created by crossing the classic Orange Bud with a potent Haze variety, resulting in a balanced hybrid that combines the uplifting qualities of sativas with some relaxing indica undertones.
The strain is characterized by its vibrant orange pistils that contrast beautifully against its dense, forest green buds, which are often covered in a generous layer of trichomes. Naranja Mecánica typically produces medium to large-sized plants with a branching structure that requires some training for optimal light exposure. The buds emit a strong citrus aroma with undertones of earth and spice, which translates directly to its flavor profile when consumed.
Notable features of Naranja Mecánica include its relatively fast flowering time for a sativa-dominant hybrid and its resilience to common growing challenges. The strain has become particularly popular among medical cannabis users in Spain and other European countries where it is legally available. While not as widely known in North American markets, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Naranja Mecánica Strain Growing Information
Naranja Mecánica is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. This strain prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain shows good resistance to mold and pests but requires adequate ventilation to prevent bud rot in dense colas.
