Orange Juice
Orange Juice
Also known as: Orange Juice Kush, OJ, OJ Kush
Overview
Orange Juice is a distinctive cannabis hybrid that has gained recognition for its authentic citrus profile and balanced effects. The strain exists in multiple genetic lineages from different breeders, with the most notable version created by Gage Green Genetics through crossing their proprietary Joseph strain (Underdog OG bag seed) with California Orange and OG Kush (COOG). Another prominent version from Dinafem Seeds was developed through self-crossing Tangie genetics, resulting in a sativa-dominant hybrid. The strain emerged during the citrus cannabis revival of the 2010s, capitalizing on consumer demand for fruit-forward genetics with recognizable flavor profiles.
Orange Juice plants typically produce medium-sized, conical flowers with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and abundant orange pistils that visually reinforce the strain's namesake. The buds display light to medium green coloration with occasional purple undertones in cooler temperatures, all covered in a sparkling coat of trichomes. The strain is known for its exceptionally aromatic profile that genuinely resembles freshly squeezed orange juice, with some users reporting it smells exactly like citrus with minimal traditional cannabis odor. This authentic citrus presentation, combined with its balanced hybrid effects that provide mental clarity and mild physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation, has made Orange Juice a popular choice for both recreational and medical users seeking daytime functionality.

Growing Information
Orange Juice is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for intermediate growers while being manageable for beginners with basic care. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with yields of 400-550g/m² under standard conditions and up to 650g/m² in optimized setups with CO2 and high-efficiency LEDs. Plants reach 1.5m (4'9") indoors and can stretch to 3m (9'8") outdoors, requiring training techniques like topping, SCROG, or SOG to manage height. Outdoor plants thrive in warm, sunny Mediterranean-type climates and finish flowering by late September to early October, yielding 400-800g per plant with some reports of up to 1kg+ in ideal conditions. The strain responds well to standard feeding regimes and doesn't require special nutrients, though growers should monitor for vigorous growth patterns. Strong aromatic properties mean good ventilation and carbon filtration are essential for indoor cultivation.
