California Sunrise is created by a Mallorca-based cannabis breeder, Alpha Genetics. This Indica-dominant strain was made by back-crossing Californian Orange with another Californian Orange, creating a new strain that carries the best qualities of its parent strains when it comes to its effects as well as flavor and aroma.
Unfortunately, this strain has also inherited some of its parents’ poor traits. It doesn’t do very well in outdoor growing, especially when the weather turns colder. So the best way to grow this type of strain is indoors where there’s better temperature control.
Type: Indica-dominant hybrid strain at 65% Indica / 35% Sativa
Lineage: Back-crossing of California Orange with California Orange
The plant has dominant Indica features with its broad, dark green leaves. The buds are Indica-looking as well. They are medium- to large-sized, dense, and roundish at the tip. Pale orange to reddish orange pistils wrap around the dense buds, with generous silvery white trichomes covering them.
The plant, itself, does not grow very tall, making it perfect for indoor growing since it doesn’t require too much space.
Growing California Sunrise Hemp indoors is easy and requires medium maintenance with little fertilizer. But as mentioned earlier, this strain grows well indoors, so greenhouse cultivation is advised if you want to grow this plant.
The plant requires a sunny climate. So, even if you live in a colder climate and grow them indoors, you still might encounter some problems once the temperature hits below 50-degrees Fahrenheit at night.
It produces a relatively moderate yield and typically flowers between 60 and 63 days.
What differentiates California Sunrise cannabis (marijuana) from hemp is its THC content. For the plant to be called hemp, there should be lower than 0.3% THC levels. Anything above 0.3% is considered cannabis or marijuana.
The back-crossing of its parent strains has given California Sunrise a more potent aroma and flavor. It has a sweet and earthy aroma with refreshing citrusy scent reminiscent of orange zest. You’ll also notice strong hints of spices. Upon inhalation, it tastes sweet and tangy as well as citrusy.
The head high hits you first. You’ll feel a slight buzzing pressure inside your head and down your face. The head high is clear, so expect to feel energized after one deep puff.
As its Indica genes kick in, you’ll feel a relaxing warmth course through your body – from your head down to your toes. The head high then gives way to a strong body high that leaves you fully relaxed and calm. The smoke is smooth, so it doesn’t cause as much throat irritation as other strains.
This strain is perfect for beginners. The long-lasting head and body high is not so overpowering and won’t induce a couch-lock. Moreover, its low THC content won’t induce any psychoactive effects such as hallucinations, paranoia, and psychosis.
