If you are into citrus-fruits then this is the plant for you. Very enjoyable plant to grow. Germination of 2 seeds without fuss. Growth rate during the veg cycle is somewhat rapid with the correct conditions. Within one week I had 8" seedlings. I tried to keep clear of using ferts and nutes until the first week of flowering. I used organic "Bio Bact" once a week with watering. Plants were vegged for 6½ weeks, could of pushed that for another week. I did notice stretching after 50 days of flowering from then the weight increased. Only thing I would stress on is keeping a lot of air movement during the flowering process. My results under 300w HPS was under average. If I doubled my HPS to 600w I'm sure my buds could of tripled in weight. More light the better, of course! The high is good after a few hits, can be a very motivating high. Recommended highly for back pain. I found smoking excessively can cause an attack of the giggles, though enjoyable.
I used a old stand-up freezer. Standing at 2½m high and about 1m in width. Soil grow using ½ compost & ½ orchid mix. Lighting 300w HPS & two 36w Fluro-Tubes. Watering twice a week. Organic fertilizatiion using Bio Bact during flowering.

Wow! I had a good feeling that this classic strain would impress me, and it has! After two grows of California Orange, I can say that I will continue to grow this frosty, stinky strain in the future. The seed itself is smaller in size and germinates quickly in a warm environment, usually pops a...continued

This was a non priority strain in my garden for a few months, so it did not get the "usual" attention my ladies often receive.
I vegged only a week or 2 under a 400W MH in a soil mix consisting of heavy + light potting soil (thouroughly cleansed), blood + bone meal, bat and seabird guano, lime, p...continued
