Orange Chameleon
Orange Chameleon
Also known as: Orange Chameleon Chem, Chem Orange Chameleon, Orange Chemeleon
Overview
Orange Chameleon is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through crossing Tangie and Thank You Jerry. The strain was primarily bred by Mycotek and gets its name from both its distinctive orange citrus aroma and its adaptable, chameleon-like growth characteristics that can vary significantly across different growing environments. The strain exhibits notable phenotypic plasticity, with color expression ranging from bright lime-green to deeper forest green with orange-amber pistils, depending on temperature and growing conditions. Orange Chameleon produces medium to large, tapered spade-shaped buds with dense crystallization of milky white trichomes and thin orange-amber pistils. The strain's visual appeal is enhanced by its resinous coating and forest green coloration that can display purple hints in cooler temperatures. This cultivar represents a modern breeding achievement that combines the bright citrus characteristics of Tangie with the complex chemical profile of Thank You Jerry, which brings extensive Chemdog lineage including cuts from Chem 91, Chem 4, Chem D, and Chem Sis through its Gorilla Dawg parentage.

Growing Information
Orange Chameleon is suitable for experienced growers as it can be demanding to cultivate. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, reaching heights of 30-60 inches. Plants require 52-62 days for flowering (approximately 8-9 weeks), with optimal harvest around day 57. Expected yields range from 10-15 ounces per plant. The strain exhibits notable environmental adaptability, with color expression varying based on temperature - deeper colors at 15-18°C night temperatures and lighter lime-green hues at 20-22°C. Plants benefit from careful environmental control to maximize terpene expression and resin production. The 'chameleon' characteristic refers to its phenotypic plasticity across different growing conditions.
