Orange is a modern hybrid strain featuring a complex lineage derived from Orange Widow and Snow White, alongside an additional component of undocumented origin. Developed for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, this strain reaches maturity over a 63-day flowering period. With a moderate cultivation difficulty, the plant is recognized for producing a high yield. Its genetic contribution to the industry includes the development of its notable offspring, Maracuya.
The chemical profile of Orange is defined by a primary dominance of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene, with subsequent concentrations of beta-pinene, limonene, linalool, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, nerolidol, humulene, ocimene, and terpinolene. This specific combination of terpenes yields a distinct aromatic and flavor profile consistent with its heavy myrcene and caryophyllene content. The structural balance of these compounds provides the nuanced sensory experience characteristic of this THC-dominant hybrid.
As a THC-dominant variety, Orange is reported to produce effects that are primarily characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These attributes suggest its utility for addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. Through its documented offspring, most notably Maracuya, the strain continues to exert an influence on modern hybridization efforts within the cannabis industry.

Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Orange indica or sativa?
Orange is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
What terpene is dominant in Orange?
Terpinolene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Myrcene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Orange good for daytime use?
Orange is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
