Orange Apricot
Orange Apricot
Overview
Orange Apricot is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Orange Juice and Apricot Helix. This strain features a 60% indica and 40% sativa genetic composition, making it well-suited for users seeking the relaxing effects of an indica with some uplifting sativa qualities. The strain displays arrowhead-shaped neon green buds adorned with thin orange hairs and a generous coating of tiny white crystal trichomes. Plants typically reach a modest height of up to 60 inches and produce medium-sized, thick, and compact sagittate buds with delicate burnt orange pistils and crystalline trichomes that blanket the forest green nugs.
Orange Apricot delivers a super sweet yet sour citrusy orange flavor with hints of fresh apricot and touches of fresh earth, while the aroma follows a similar profile with fruity apricot overtones accented by hints of fresh earth and spicy herbs, wrapped up with a heavily citrus effect that intensifies as the nugs are burned. The strain's terpene profile is rich in limonene and myrcene, with limonene providing a robust orange scent that is both appealing and pervasive, known for producing invigorating, citrusy aromas that enhance the sensory experience. The strain has gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that truly lives up to its name.

Growing Information
Orange Apricot is considered of moderate difficulty to grow and performs best in environments where growers have proper equipment to maintain good environmental conditions. Cultivators favor this strain for its manageable growth patterns and compact stature typical of indica-dominant crops, thriving in both indoor and outdoor settings, though controlled environments are recommended to maximize the terpene profile with essential temperature and humidity levels being important, including a slight reduction in humidity during the flowering phase to prevent mold and enhance resin production. The plant reaches a height of 30-60 inches indoors and outdoors with a flowering period of 54-61 days and harvest time of roughly 59 days, with indoor plants delivering yields of 1-2 oz/ft². Caretakers should anticipate a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks for the best quality harvest.
