Blood Orange by Crockett Family Farms
Blood Orange is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred by Crockett Family Farms, celebrated for its vibrant citrus profile and uplifting effects. This strain offers a balanced sensory experience, making it a popular choice for those seeking creative stimulation and focused energy.
Appearance
The buds of Blood Orange are visually striking, often displaying a mix of light green and deep orange hues, reminiscent of its namesake fruit. They are characterized by a dense structure and are generously coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, sparkling appearance. This resinous coating contributes to both its potent aroma and its high cannabinoid content.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Blood Orange is dominated by bright citrus notes, often described as freshly peeled oranges, with subtle spicy undertones. Upon consumption, users experience an immediate burst of sweet citrus, followed by a hint of earthiness and a peppery finish. This complex flavor profile is largely attributed to terpenes like limonene and caryophyllene.
Effects
Blood Orange is known for delivering energetic and focus-enhancing effects, making it suitable for daytime use or creative pursuits. Users often report a heightened sense of creativity and mental clarity, accompanied by an invigorating sensation. The strain provides a clear-headed high that supports activities requiring concentration and problem-solving.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically contains THC levels around 18% and very low CBD levels (<1%), characteristic of sativa-dominant varieties. Its terpene profile is notable for caryophyllene, which contributes spicy notes and potential therapeutic benefits, and limonene, responsible for the prominent citrus aroma and flavor. Myrcene and pinene are also present in smaller concentrations.
