The OV parentage is unknown, but it certainly has skunky genetics. Due to a low THC amount, this marijuana can be used by people with any level of tolerance. As it goes from the name, the strain offers a smooth smoking experience and is a good option for novices.

Taste and Smell

The Orange Velvet strain holds no surprise in its aroma palette. It features a strong orange and citrus taste delivered by valencene, which is a prevailing terpene. The tasty orange flavor takes over, but consumers can also catch pungent hints caused by myrcene and slightly sweet notes on the exhale caused by ocimene. People with a keen sense of smell can detect earthy scents as well. Other dominant terpenes in this strain are linalool, carene, and sabinene.

Orange Velvet Effects

The effects produced by this cannabis are not super powerful. The high is moderate and doesn’t last for long, so it allows users to retain their functionality. It fills smokers with euphoric lift and energy. Consumers become aroused, concentrated, creative, and maintain an increased focus. The kush provides mild body and mind relaxation and is helpful for various neurological complications.

From the medical point of view, the strain is good for alleviating symptoms of the following conditions:

• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
• Anxiety
• Bipolar disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Stress
• Lack of appetite
• Migraines

As a delicate strain with mild effects, Orange Velvet doesn’t provoke any serious side effects. Occasional negative reactions that may occur include:

• Rapid heartbeat
• Hunger
• Drowsiness
• Fatigue

Growing Tips

Unfortunately, this cannabis has fallen out of popularity, so the seeds are hard to come by. The cultivators who are lucky to track it down and get the seeds or clipping from mature plants can expect a medium growth difficulty and high yields (1-2 oz./ft2 for indoor and 2-3 oz./ft2 for outdoor gardens.) 

The plants can handle unfavorable growing conditions and temperature changes. The flowering period is completed in 57-64 days, while the harvest time is 73 days after germination. This is a photoperiod plant affected by light changes. As a result, it reaches 60’’-80’’ high when grown indoors and more than 90’’ when grown in the open air.
