Information about Orange Skunk:
The skunk that we have grown accustomed to are black and white. But there are others that have brown, grey, or cream colors. In the cannabis community, there is one that comes in orange.
For many people, orange is an attractive color. Sure enough, the orange hairs covering the bud is indeed a sight to behold. However, its name is more because of the incredibly delightful scent of orange that it emits.
The orange influence is, of course, a trait inherited from one of its parents – California Orange. In referring to this strain, many people like to call it old school as it first made its appearance back in the 80s. Over the decades, it was also called by several other names – Cali-O, Cali Orange Bud, C.O.B., and Californian Orange. It is also notable for its clear-headed high.
Meanwhile, the influence of its other parent Skunk No. 1 is undeniable. Not only is it evident in its aroma, but also in the making users feel energetic. If California Orange is old, then Skunk No. 1 is even older by at least one decade.
In mixing up the genetics of California Orange and Skunk No. 1, the result is a strain that not only highlights some of the best traits of the parent strains but also to distinguish itself with its own distinct effects.
