Lots of good feedback on one of my newer creations Orange Diesel. So I might as well kick it off with the background. Normally Ive never been a fan of either the color/fruit named strains because I had come to equate a majority of them with a lower than expected potency level.

I while back a buddy turned me on to their orange strain which was a cross between Cali Orange Bud and Skunk#1. I was really impressed with its potency and yield for being an "orange" strain. Around the same time I also had going that prolific NYCD male from Annac's stock. A few paintbrush strokes later and the deed was done.

Heres the pics I have of the orange strain and that uber-male NYCD plant. [ yes that last pic is a male ]

What is the smoke like? Looks good, feels good to grow your own out doesn't it? Bong salute!

Now fast forward to the present and heres the current crop of Orange Diesel. This intro will go a bit faster since I wasnt able to get many baby pics. These pics are about five days into flowering.

While the leaves all look pretty uniform the plant structures have two distinct growing phenos. One is a shorter branched cylindrical shaped plant and the other pheno has large bushing lower branches. It will be a while before I know if theres much difference between the two when they bud out more. With sixteen decent female representatives there should be a few good ones that stand out to be pollenated.

Out of this batch I had about 9 males to 'weed' thru to make the one selection. As far as they went it seemed most of the bushy branched ones were better than their cylindrical counterparts. More resin developement, better smell, and overall healthier growth. For a couple of weeks it was neck and neck between three of the bushy ones and the final one stood out a hair above the other two.

Heres a couple of group shots of the females.


Heres some closer shots of a couple nice individual gals.


And heres the last one of the chosen male. More updates soon.

Damn verite, that is one bad ass male you got there. The orange diesel sounds very good, I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Take care

That male is fantastic. Your cross looks beautiful as well. What smell did the buds take on?

Thanks peeps, so far I only have feedback from the people that have test grown/smoked the Orange Diesel. I will be getting a chance to try some out next week first hand, so I can let you know then my first thoughts on consumption.

Some that have already tried it left some comments in my other strain thread Holy Grail [ linked below ] If it turns out really good I'll have to get some of Rez's Sour D and whip up some Sweet-n-Sour D, yum.
