Sonic Orange

Sonic Orange is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Tangie with an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, often speculated to be a phenotype of Orange Bud or a similar citrus-forward strain. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders aiming to enhance the vibrant terpene profile of Tangie while adding more physical relaxation. It gained recognition in the West Coast cannabis scene for its pronounced orange aroma and balanced effects, appealing to both recreational and medicinal users seeking a flavorful, mood-enhancing experience. The name 'Sonic Orange' references its intense citrus scent and energetic yet calming high.

Visually, Sonic Orange buds are typically dense and conical, with a structure leaning slightly indica-dominant. The flowers exhibit bright green hues interspersed with amber pistils and a generous coating of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma is dominated by sweet, tangy orange and tangerine notes, often accompanied by undertones of earth and spice, which translate directly to its flavor profile when smoked or vaporized. Growers note that the strain tends to produce moderate to high yields, with flowering times around 8-10 weeks indoors.

Notable features of Sonic Orange include its strong terpene expression, particularly high levels of limonene, which contribute to its citrus dominance and potential mood-lifting effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, it has developed a niche following among users who appreciate its balanced hybrid nature—offering initial cerebral euphoria followed by gentle physical relaxation without heavy sedation. Its rarity in commercial markets may vary by region, but it remains a sought-after choice for those prioritizing flavor and moderate potency.
