Orion is a modern autoflowering variety developed from a lineage of Blue Dream and Amnesia. Its origins remain standard for the current market, as no specific breeder or historical timeline has been documented for the strain. As an autoflowering cultivar, it is designed for ease of growth in both indoor and outdoor environments, completing its flowering cycle in 70 days. Growers should note that the strain typically offers a low yield.
The terpene profile of Orion is confirmed to feature myrcene as the primary constituent, followed by caryophyllene, pinene, limonene, humulene, beta-pinene, linalool, guaiol, bisabolol, and camphene. This combination of terpenes contributes to a distinct aromatic and flavor profile. In terms of strength, the strain contains an estimated 17.5% THC, providing a potency profile that is categorized as THC-dominant.
Users of Orion report effects that are consistently relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, and the strain is frequently used for assistance with sleep. At this time, no notable offspring have been recorded for this variety.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
◎
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
