About These Strains

Nepalese

Sativa 0/100 — THC 1417% — CBD 1–1%

Nepalese is a 100% pure sativa strain that is a native Landrace to the region of Nepal that is often used as a breeding strain. This popular sativa offers a moderately high THC level that ranges between 14-17% on average and a delicious aroma of sweet citrus with a hint of floral earth.

The taste of Nepalese is very much the same, with a sweet citrus onset and a hint of lavender earth upon exhale that sits pleasantly on the tongue.

Orange Diesel

Hybrid 40/60 — THC 1416%

Orange Diesel, also known as “Sour Orange Diesel,” is a slightly sativa dominant hybrid (60% sativa/40% indica) strain created as a cross between the potent Sour Diesel X Agent Orange strains. This bud is infamous for its smell and taste – it somehow manages to smoothly combine the harsh sour diesel taste of its Sour Diesel parent with the sharp sweet citrus of Agent Orange, creating a flavor that has some bite but is still delicious!

This bud's appearance definitely comes from its Agent Orange parent – Orange Diesel buds have medium-sized lumpy spade-shaped bright neon green nugs with a thick layer of furry bright fiery orange hairs.
