Orange Sunset
Also known as: Frosted Orange Sunset
Overview
Orange Sunset is a well-balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by Cannarado Genetics through a cross between Orange Banana v1 and OZ Kush. This cultivar emerged during the late 2010s to early 2020s wave of citrus-dessert hybrids that gained popularity on the West Coast. With its 50% indica and 50% sativa genetics, Orange Sunset offers a perfect equilibrium between mental stimulation and physical relaxation, making it versatile for both daytime and evening use. The strain is visually striking with dense, medium-sized buds displaying a deep green base intertwined with vibrant orange pistils, sometimes developing subtle purple or blue hues. A generous coating of frosty white trichomes gives the buds a sticky texture and crystalline appearance. Orange Sunset has earned recognition among cultivators and consumers for its consistent canopy development, robust resin production, and distinctive aromatic complexity that combines bright citrus notes with earthy undertones and hints of Kush spice.

Growing Information
Orange Sunset presents a moderate to challenging cultivation experience best suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days) and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor plants typically reach 3-4 feet in height, while outdoor plants can grow 4-6 feet tall, with some reaching up to 60 inches maximum. Expected yields are 400 grams per square meter indoors (10-12 ounces per square meter) and up to 350-400 grams per square meter outdoors (up to 12 ounces per plant). The strain thrives in warm, sunny conditions with stable temperatures and humidity levels. Plants benefit from regular pruning and low-stress training (LST) techniques before flowering to maximize yield and promote even canopy development. Orange Sunset is particularly resilient against common pests and diseases, making it somewhat forgiving for novice growers despite its moderate difficulty rating. Harvest time for outdoor cultivation typically falls in October.
