California Orange Feminized - Black Elephant Genetics

California Orange: the citrus California classic with an orange aroma

California Orange (German Fem Line) by Black Elephant Genetics revives a legendary Californian strain, an old-school classic that has been grown for decades and remains a benchmark for anyone seeking a genuine citrus profile. It is a perfectly balanced hybrid (50% indica / 50% sativa), easy to handle and adaptable, with resinous flowers and an intense aroma of freshly peeled orange that stands out from the first weeks of flowering.

Why choose California Orange

✓ Feminized: every plant will be a productive female, with no males to identify.
✓ 50/50 hybrid: a balanced, vigorous structure that is easy to train.
✓ 60-75 day flowering: a reasonable, predictable cycle.
✓ Good yield: up to 400 g/m² indoors and approx. 500 g/plant outdoors.
✓ Orange aroma: citrus, fresh and fruity, true to its name.

Indoor cultivation

Develops a medium-sized plant of up to 1 m, with moderate stretch during flowering and well-spaced side branches. It responds very well to topping and LST, which help open the canopy and multiply the tops, and it also adapts to sea of green setups with many small plants. It yields up to 400 g/m² after 60-75 days of flowering. For maximum results we recommend a high-quality airy substrate, regular pH control (6.0-6.5 in soil), moderate, consistent feeding and an activated carbon filter, as its citrus aroma becomes noticeable in the second half of flowering.

Outdoor cultivation

Outdoors it can reach up to 2 m and yield approx. 500 g per plant. It is harvested in late October, so it performs best in warm, dry, sunny climates with mild autumns, in a spot that gets direct sun for much of the day. In areas where autumn turns humid, choose a well-ventilated location or a greenhouse and check the inside of the flowers during ripening.

Aroma and flavour

A bright citrus profile: ripe orange dominates from the start, with the freshness of just-peeled zest and hints of mandarin. It is joined by a fruity sweetness and, underneath, a slightly earthy base that adds depth and intensifies in the final weeks of flowering.

Frequently asked questions

Is it difficult to grow?
No. It is a robust, adaptable strain that also suits beginners: all it needs is a stable pH, feeding without excess and good ventilation during flowering.

How much indoor space does it need?
With a final height of up to 1 m, it fits well in standard 80x80 or 100x100 cm grow tents; topping and LST help keep an even canopy and spread the light.

How should I store them until sowing?
In a cool, dry and dark place, ideally in the fridge inside an airtight container. This preserves their germination power for a long time.
