Orange Dream
Orange Dream
Overview
Orange Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid that crosses Orange Crush with Blue Dream, each of which bring a unique dimension to this strain. The strain entered dispensary menus in the early 2010s as the citrus-forward cousin of West Coast hybrids, with multiple breeders claiming credit for the name. The most commonly cited lineage pairs Blue Dream with an orange-leaning cultivar, often Orange Crush, though some catalogs list an Orange Creamsicle or even Tangerine-forward parent. Created by the breeder of Hawgsbreath, The Hog, this San Diego, CA strain is a hybrid of the Clone Only strain Blue Dream and BCGA's Orange Crush. Inviting aromas of citrus and vanilla combine to create a distinct flavor profile that can only be compared to orange creamsicles. Visually, Orange Dream is a burst of vibrant colors that reflect its name and potent effects. The buds are dense and often exhibit a rich orange hue, accented by hints of green and deep purples, which is a hallmark brought out by its sativa influence. Most Orange Dream cuts are THC-dominant, with total THC potential commonly ranging from 16% to 22% when grown well. Elite phenos and dialed-in grows can push into the 23–25% range, though this is not the norm for every batch. The strain has become popular for its balanced effects and distinctive orange creamsicle flavor profile that sets it apart from other citrus-forward cannabis varieties.

Growing Information
The difficulty to grow Orange Dream is known for being average. For growers looking to cultivate indoors, you can expect average height with a yield of moderate in about 8-10 weeks. Outdoors, Orange Dream should harvest around October you can expect average height and moderate yield. The sativa-leaning hybrid is easy to grow indoors or outdoors with a higher-than-average yield. Orange Dream grows to medium height, producing dense, crystal-coated flowers in about eight weeks. Orange Dream is an early bloomer and thus very suitable to grow outside. If you're not growing in pots but in soil than they can get up to 2 metres (6 feet) high if you put them out early in the season. With a blooming period of 7 to 9 weeks and a nice yield they're of course also growable inside. Orange Dream appreciates full sun and good air movement, with topping and light bending to create a low, even canopy that resists wind. Mulching helps regulate root zone moisture and temperature, boosting vigor through hot spells. In Mediterranean climates, expect a late September to mid-October finish depending on latitude and phenotype.
