Growing Clockwork Orange
Clockwork Orange was once only available as a clone. Hence, it was not recommended for beginners as cultivating a cutting usually requires the expertise of a seasoned grower. However, after being released in seed form by Riot Seeds, it has since been a favorite choice among enthusiasts casually getting into growing cannabis at home.
With that said, Clockwork Orange is quite easy to grow. It has a sturdy frame and a compact structure. Although, due to its bushiness, aspiring growers will have to trim the plant often to increase airflow around the lower nodes. This will also significantly improve light distribution among the lower nodes and circulate nutrients to healthier parts of the plant.
Though it can withstand the cold, the plant still has a strong propensity for the warmth of a Mediterranean climate. Basking for long hours under the sunlight, it grows tall, strong, and flowers quite early especially in the south.

This is not to say that Clockwork Orange will not thrive in the northern hemisphere. Rather, the lack of sunlight might result in a longer blossoming time. With that said, growers can expect at least 200 grams of buds to bloom per plant between the last week of October to the middle of November.
There are many growers who prefer to cultivate Clockwork Orange indoors, where important factors such as lighting, temperature, and humidity can easily be adjusted to meet the needs of the plant. Moreover, it is also easy to create a setup for a particular training method like the Sea of Green which maximizes a small growing space. Flowering normally takes place 8 to 11 weeks after the vegetative phase. During harvest, it yields at least 100 to 200 grams per square meter.
Once mature, the buds develop streaks of orange and yellow that can easily be mistaken for gold. Each is completely covered in a thick coat of sticky trichomes. Hence, it is often a popular choice to use for hash development.
