About These Strains

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.
