Agent Orange
6/10/2014
I was skeptical of this after growing it out. It is a sativa dominant plant. It seemed slightly more susceptible to root rot during very hot weather. Resist the temptation to overwater during heat. Use shade instead, if possible and keep root oxygen up.
This was a tall, sort of rangy plant, not as pretty as some, but with a great flexibility. It stood up during 107 days with 20 mph winds. Staking highly recommended anyway.
Agent Orange reveals its power after it is cut. During the curing and trimming, there is a very strong almost industrial orange fragrance. It makes you think your house is clean, but, not. It has a bud that is a little smaller than an indica strain, but well clad in orange hairs. As it matures the hairs become silvered with resin droplets. I harvested on the third consecutive day after nights dropped below 68. A little bit of chill is a nice ripener.
Once trimmed and tasted, Agent Orange immediately went on my list to grow again. It held up well outside, produced a very respectable amount of prime cuts as well as almost another pound in a second cut of lower, less mature foliage. It has a definite citrusy taste and smell. You could imagine it having been cured with orange rind or something, but it is what it is. Used in a vape, it expands the lungs, and does something very confusing to the brain. Immediately. For a while. It is great for cerebral thought and those stargazing summer evenings or nights in front of the fire. Great strain, already got another round of it in. Cheers Mountain Wellness Services!
