Orange Bud 2.0 is an improved and further developed version of the original Dutch Passion classic Orange Bud, which retains the original characteristics, such as the unmistakable orange aroma and taste. This new strain was created by crossing Dutch Passion's Orange Bud with Mimosa (Clementine x Purple Punch), and the result is extremely impressive. The aim with this cross was to combine the old and the new at a level that appeals to all types of growers and smokers. Even dedicated 'old school' Orange Bud growers will love Orange Bud 2.0. It really is the most special cannabis strain in the Dutch Passion Orange Family cannabis seed collection.
She combines a very high THC level of around 20% with a very rich terpene profile. The buds smell super intense, pungent and taste heavenly. The classic “Orange” profile has been retained and taken to a new level.
Orange Bud 2.0 is easy to grow, even for inexperienced growers, and has an average flowering time of around 8 to 9 weeks. In the hands of experts, this strain will flourish and provide the grower with truly premium-quality buds. This is a resinous strain with a compact plant and flower structure, making it suitable for every type of grower and growing method.
The citrus-dominated orange flavor and taste provide a real taste explosion. And the best part is, it tastes exactly like it smells – intensely fruity! With its high THC content, it delivers a strong high with a balanced effect. A mix of physical and mental effects, powerful yet relaxing.
But it will also be a hit with “new school” growers who like extravagant flavor and aroma profiles. By crossing it with American Mimosa (Clementine x Purple Punch), the geneticists were able to improve the quality of the buds and further stabilize the strain.
It is common knowledge that Skunk, Haze and Afghan are the three most frequently crossed and developed cannabis strains in today’s cannabis gene pool. Orange Bud is one of the classic Skunk strains that Dutch Passion was able to develop and stabilize in the 80s and 90s, until the buds were available in almost every Dutch coffee shop and on every continent (in the form of cannabis seeds).
A unique Skunk variety that has been a bestseller for decades, with orange hairs on the buds. The beautiful frosty buds have a delicious fruity/orange aroma, a pleasant high and good commercial value (easy to grow and clone, fast flowering and high yield).
The new version, Orange Bud 2.0, is now even fruitier, even spicier and even more visually appealing! Do you like intensely fruity weed? Then don't wait any longer and try Dutch Passion's Orange Bud 2.0 now!
The growth of Orange Bud 2.0
Orange Bud 2.0 is a new hybrid strain available only as a feminized cannabis seed. The plants have a slightly more compact and smaller structure than the classic Orange Bud. They also develop beautiful, compact, hard buds and are beautiful to look at. This still allows for high yields, only slightly lower than with the original. In the opinion of Dutch Passion, quality makes up for everything and in this case, “quality before quantity” certainly applies. Orange Bud 2.0 is a strain that produces flowers of absolute premium quality.
She prefers organic soil and coconut fiber. However, she can also be grown hydroponically, which can shorten the total growing time by one to two weeks. Orange Bud 2.0 doesn't get very tall, being slightly more Indica-dominant than the original. When grown naturally without techniques, a height of about 75–100 cm is typical. With a longer vegetative phase and good growers, heights of around 100 cm up to a maximum of 150 cm are possible.
Even beginners will enjoy growing Orange Bud 2.0 cannabis seeds. No special growing techniques are required to achieve good results. Careful stabilization has also made it slightly more resistant to stress than the original.
This is a unique new Skunk cross with an American influence. It produces sturdy branches and is easy to feed. The stretch is average and predictable. Orange Bud 2.0 performs well in SOG cultivation, just like its parents.
Orange Bud 2.0 has an average flowering time of about 56–63 days, which generally corresponds to 8–9 weeks indoors. Due to the stronger indica-dominant hybrid genes, this cross remains more compact and shows less stretch than the original Orange Bud.
It thrives in sunny and dry climates and can also grow well outdoors in suitable regions. In temperate northern climates, outdoor harvest is usually around mid-October, provided the plants are protected from excessive moisture.
The effect of Orange Bud 2.0
Orange Bud 2.0 has a pleasant effect that combines physical and mental sensations. The high potency results in a strong, long-lasting effect that can promote creativity while remaining balanced and calming.
Smell and taste of Orange Bud 2.0
The well-known orange and tangerine aroma of the classic Orange Bud has been retained and enhanced. Citrus notes dominate both aroma and flavor, accompanied by fruity and slightly sweet nuances.
Some phenotypes may show notes of nectarine, grapefruit, peach or tropical fruits. Combined with the improved appearance, this makes Orange Bud 2.0 a particularly appealing strain for lovers of intense citrus flavors.
