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.

Pink Champagne

Hybrid 65/35 — THC 1623%

Pink Champagne, also known more commonly as “Phantom” or “ Raspberry Kush,” is an indica dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) strain created through crossing the infamous Ken's Granddaddy Purple X Cherry Pie strains. This bud packs a flavor just like the name suggests, packing tastes of sweet berries and grapes with a rich kush exhale.

The aroma is of sweet grapes and berries with a notable fresh strawberry effect that's slightly spicy at times, almost like an actual glass of pink champagne.
