What is the Orange Velvet strain?
Orange Velvet is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its happy effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Orange Velvet is a rare evenly-balanced hybrid strain that has become extremely difficult to find and is considered discontinued by many sources. Originally called "Melvin," the strain was renamed by MzJill of TGA Genetics, who received it as a gift from a medical patient named Luanne who suffered from multiple sclerosis. The strain is believed to be a cross between Orange Skunk and another unknown hybrid, likely originating from the Pacific Northwest. MzJill Genetics popularized the strain, and it is notable as the mother plant to the famous Jilly Bean and Agent Orange strains.
Orange Velvet is distinguished by its exceptional aroma and flavor profile that remarkably resembles orange creamsicles or dreamsicles. The buds are light green in color but appear orange due to an abundance of bright orange pistils covering the flowers. They are dense and compact with a generous coating of white trichomes that accentuates their visual appeal. The strain offers a smooth smoking experience with medium to large-sized buds that are both visually striking and aromatic. Despite its mild to moderate potency compared to modern high-THC strains, Orange Velvet has earned a devoted following for its unique sensory experience and well-balanced effects.
