As one of the first F1 hybrids ever released, Orion F1 strain showcases unprecedented vigour, uniformity, and production, all while racing to harvest in around 10 weeks. These traits immediately caught the attention of our legion of fans and customers, and have spurred the popularity of our groundbreaking F1 hybrid selection.

Read on to acquaint yourself with everything that makes Orion F1 strain so special, then pick up some seeds for yourself to sample the best variety of the year.

Orion F1 Strain: A Major Feat in Cannabis Breeding

Whether you associate the name Orion with the constellation or the mythical Greek hunter, you’ll soon identify it with the F1 hybrid variety from RQS. The result of meticulous inbreeding, Orion F1 strain derives from Blue Mammoth Auto, Blue Dream, and Amnesia parent lines, making for a fierce specimen in the grow-op, and a delectably potent one in the stash jar.

As one of the highest-yielding cultivars in our F1 lineup, Orion never sacrifices quality for quantity—it delivers both in spades.

Flavor, Aroma, and Effects of Orion F1 Strain: Fresh Flavors and Relaxing Euphoria

Orion F1 strain is a veritable terpene bomb, expressing high levels of myrcene accented by medium levels of farnesene and ocimene. This terpene trio results in a flavor that is at once sweet and refreshing. Users will certainly pick up on its fruity, candy-like sweetness, but a fresh pine twist prevents the taste from becoming cloying.

In terms of its high, Orion F1 strain is all about delivering relaxing euphoria. Boasting exceptional THC levels, alongside the aforementioned terpenes, Orion F1 wraps users in a soothing embrace that, when used in moderation, won’t lock you to the couch. Instead, you’ll experience hours of creative bliss. Spend the evening daydreaming, chatting with close friends, or listening to your favorite albums. Given its high potency and stoning constituents, Orion F1 strain is perhaps best saved for afternoon and evening use, though its initial euphoric rush can provide a late-morning boost as well.

In addition to recreational use, Orion F1 strain has won the favor of holistic cannabis users, as it provides a long-lasting mind-body high that helps to take the edge off of tension—both mental and physical. When used in larger amounts, its effects can become more soporific, allowing users to gently drift off to sleep.

Growing Orion F1 Strain: Strong and Mighty

In addition to its unique flavor and wholesome effects, Orion F1 strain really stands out with impressive growth. As a high-octane autoflower, plants max out at a reasonable height of just 65–80cm, making them highly suitable for cramped indoor spaces, balcony grows, and guerrilla operations. Despite their small stature, these plants are seriously abundant and fast to deliver the goods. Taking 65–70 days from germination to harvest (with a lightning-fast flowering stage of 35–40 days), Orion F1 strain produces massive yields that will have your jaw dropping to the floor.

Best of all, each seed you sow of this variety will grow into uniform plants that exhibit the same structure and take the same amount of time to reach harvest. This allows growers to optimise production and maximise light exposure to their crop without needing to train—although some LST can help to push Orion’s yields even higher.

All of this means that even beginners to cannabis cultivation can achieve exceptional harvests of potent and aromatic bud. On the other hand, veteran growers can push production to the max, achieving numerous harvests over one growing season. The choice is yours with this versatile variety!

Other users, such as E.M., note Orion’s incredible robustness, saying that “Orion exhibits tremendous vigour and uniformity throughout all plants”. Drgreen13 concurs, adding: “She grew like a champ, no issues whatsoever. 9 weeks from seed to smoke. I would definitely recommend…”.

Seldom_Seen also mentions that she is resilient and “put up with some extreme temperatures during the grow and never showed any signs of stress”.

Regarding her high, users also had a lot to rave about, though Y. S. warns: “Orion F1 [has an] extremely high THC level… it’s not for weak smokers!”. Despite the potency, the high is happy and relaxing. As RobDiv shares: “Smokes super smooth—a very nice HAPPY head high. The girlfriend likes this one as it doesn't cause any couch-lock…”.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
