Orange Cookies

Franchise Genetics originally bred Orange Cookies by crossing Orange Juice with Girl Scout Cookies, according to Leafly, which calls the result a sativa-dominant hybrid and also writes the name as Orange Cookies Chem. AllBud gives the same pairing and splits it 60% indica to 40% sativa, a slightly indica-dominant hybrid. This flower carries the name.

Tangerine, orange juice and a spicy finish

Leafly says the flavour will remind you of a sweet, juicy tangerine, and tags it orange, citrus and sweet. Its reviewers describe a sweet, orange-juice-like smell and an orange-grapefruit flavour. AllBud describes a tangy aroma of sweet citrus and a taste of sweet, fruity citrus with a sour, earthy tinge on the exhale.

Steven De Guzman’s tip in our Orange Cookies guide tracks the order one AllBud reviewer tasted: orange, then cream, then a spicy finish.

Terpinolene tops the terpene list

In Leafly’s terpene data terpinolene, tagged fruity, comes out dominant, with myrcene and caryophyllene behind it. Our terpinolene guide calls it a piney, floral terpene.

Compact, lumpy buds

Leafly’s growers describe compact, lumpy buds with light green foliage, and its reviewers picture light green popcorn buds with sugary crystals. AllBud describes medium-sized, very dense, lumpy, spade-shaped buds in light minty green, with fiery orange hairs and a sparse scatter of chunky white trichomes and resin.

On the grow side, Leafly reports yields between 450 and 550 g for every square metre and a plant that takes well to topping and feeds moderately to heavily. It names Powdered Donuts among the descendants.

Two THC figures, one mellow buzz

Leafly puts the strain near 25% THC with a little CBG (1%), above its potency average, and AllBud’s range is a moderate 12% to 18%. Leafly describes a cerebral, euphoric head buzz with a happy mood and a relaxed body, calls the effects long-lasting, and shows relaxed, happy and euphoric as its reviewers’ top tags.

AllBud describes a long-lasting mellow buzz: a euphoric head buzz that begins around the eyes and forehead and spreads through the body, leaving the person happy and relaxed. It calls the high fairly mild. Ratings stand at 4.6 from 546 on Leafly and 4.8 from 53 votes on AllBud.
