Orange Animal by Seattle Chronic Seeds
Orange Animal is an indica-dominant strain developed by Seattle Chronic Seeds, recognized for its distinctive aroma and deeply relaxing properties. It combines classic indica genetics with modern cultivation techniques to offer a unique sensory and experiential profile.
Appearance
Orange Animal buds are typically dense and tightly packed, characteristic of potent indica varieties. They display a vivid green coloration interspersed with deep purple and orange hues, complemented by scattered orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, signaling their potential potency.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Orange Animal is a captivating blend of earthy and citrus notes, often described as piney with a strong orange scent. Underlying sweet and herbal undertones add complexity. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, beginning with sweet citrus and pine, followed by lingering herbal and spicy notes for a multi-layered taste experience.
Effects
As a predominantly indica strain, Orange Animal delivers robust body relaxation and calming sensations, often leading to a deeply sedating experience suitable for evening use. It may begin with a mild cerebral lift before transitioning into profound physical relaxation, making it effective for stress relief.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analysis indicates Orange Animal typically contains THC levels between 18% and 24%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is notable for limonene, contributing to its citrus aroma, alongside myrcene for earthy notes, and smaller amounts of caryophyllene and pinene. These compounds contribute to the strain's overall sensory profile and effects.
Growing
Seattle Chronic Seeds developed Orange Animal using rigorous selection methods and high genetic standards, with development spanning over 18 months. Early trials indicated potential yield improvements over previous cultivars, suggesting a focus on robust growth and consistent performance.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Seattle Chronic Seeds, Orange Animal was created as a project to combine classic indica genetics with contemporary cultivation methods. Genetic analysis suggests a lineage that is approximately 70-75% indica, contributing to its deeply relaxing and sedative effects.
