About These Strains

Orange Diesel

Hybrid 50/50 — THC 14–16%

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.

A super delicious bud with a quick-hitting high, Orange Punch is a great option for any fan of soothing sativa strains.

The taste of Orange Punch is much like what you'd guess with its name, blending together bright, citrusy oranges with sugary grapes and a hint of skunky pungency.
