Orange Slush
Orange Slush
Also known as: Orange Slushie, Orange Slushee
Overview
Orange Slush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created through crossing Purple Trainwreck and Jamaican Landrace genetics. This vibrant strain emerged during the late-2010s wave of dessert-inspired cultivars and has gained popularity for its distinctive citrus flavor profile that resembles a refreshing summer slushie. The strain typically displays a 70% indica to 30% sativa ratio, making it well-suited for evening relaxation while still providing some uplifting cerebral effects.
The buds of Orange Slush are visually striking, featuring dense, grape-shaped dark green nugs adorned with thin dark amber hairs and a generous coating of crystal trichomes covered in sweet, sticky resin. The strain's color palette can range from lime to forest green with occasional purple streaks, especially in cooler-grown phenotypes. The heavy trichome coverage gives the flowers a frosty appearance that enhances their overall bag appeal.
Orange Slush has developed a reputation for its therapeutic versatility and relatively straightforward cultivation requirements. The strain produces creeping effects that begin with uplifting euphoria before transitioning into calming relaxation, making it particularly valued by both recreational users seeking balanced effects and medical patients looking for symptom relief without overwhelming sedation.

Growing Information
Orange Slush is considered a beginner to intermediate-friendly strain that adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. The flowering period typically lasts 8-9 weeks, with some phenotypes finishing around week 8 for optimal flavor preservation. Indoor growers can expect above-average yields when grown under controlled conditions with proper humidity and temperature management. The strain thrives particularly well in warm, dry outdoor conditions with excellent sunlight exposure. Plants benefit from early topping and canopy management techniques, as they tend to exhibit vigorous vegetative growth and can stretch significantly during flowering. The strain prefers slightly alkaline soil with pH around 6.0-6.5 and responds well to organic living soil cultivation methods.
