Profile of Sticky Orange XXL Automatic: Combination of Indica and Sativa
The blend of terpenes and flavonoids brings together the characteristics of Indica and Sativa in a unique experience. Growers will be surprised at how easy it is to grow Sticky Orange XXL Automatic both indoors and outdoors in temperate and continental climates.
This strain is the result of a four-way cross between California Indica, Shiva Skunk, Gorilla Glue, and Maple Leaf Indica. The compact structure, fast flowering time, and large flowers are typical of its Indica heritage. However, the flavor has a more Sativa character.
The flowers of these cannabis seeds are, as the name suggests, sticky: fingers stick together due to the dense trichome layer. The leaves are covered with numerous orange stigmas.
Growth Pattern of Sticky Orange XXL Automatic
Sticky Orange XXL Automatic cannabis seeds are composed of 80% Indica and 20% Sativa genes. Due to its Indica dominance, the plant has a compact structure with narrow internodes and dense leaves. A little defoliation can expose the flowering sites and improve the canopy microclimate. The branches of this strain are robust and powerfully built to support the heavy buds well in the later flowering phase.
The foliage remains dark green during growth, and attractive purple leaves sometimes develop at the end of flowering.
Autoflowering cannabis seeds offer the advantage of not requiring a change in photoperiod to induce flowering.
Sticky Orange XXL Automatic begins flowering independently, regardless of the light exposure. The flowering time is short, between 45 and 50 days, which facilitates multiple harvests per year. Indoors, the plants reach a height of 70 to 100 cm, while outdoors they can grow to over 100 cm.
Yield of Sticky Orange XXL Automatic

Those wishing to grow this strain outdoors are best advised to do so in a temperate or continental climate. This plant's flowers are known for their abundance and density.
The flowers of Sticky Orange XXL Automatic grow together quickly, forming large colas at the tips of the branches. The distinctive orange hairs give the flowers an almost completely orange appearance from a distance. The thick bracts are covered with countless sticky trichomes.
Gloves are recommended when handling the flowers, which contributes to their name. The dense, sticky layer of trichomes creates an impressive frosty appearance.
