Strain Overview
From the autoflower specialists at Mephisto Genetics, ILL#78 - Orange Panda merges elite Orange Diesel zest with the legendary production and stability of 3 Bears OG. Expect a fast 8–10 week turnaround, high yields, and a loud orange-citrus-diesel profile backed by 21–25% THC. Standout features include vigorous autoflower growth, dense frost-laden buds, and exceptional bag appeal. This hybrid suits growers who want top-shelf quality with minimal wait—perfect for small tents, balconies, or tight perpetual runs. Demand is high for Mephisto limiteds, so if ILL#78 - Orange Panda is in stock, it’s wise to pounce.
Lineage and Breeding
Orange Diesel contributes the explosive orange peel, citrus zest, and fuel-soaked rind that defines the nose, while adding energetic uplift and a lively terp profile. 3 Bears OG, a Mephisto flagship, brings the structure and reliability: compact branching, golf-ball-to-cola bud formation, hearty resin coverage, and consistent performance under varied conditions. The breeding goal here is simple but potent—capture the juiciest orange-diesel top notes in an autoflower that stacks hard, glazes in resin, and finishes fast. The cross works because 3 Bears OG acts like a quality control backbone, tightening internodes and improving trichome density without muting the citrus-fuel signature. The result is a dependable, high-output auto with true connoisseur flavor, aligning with Mephisto Genetics’ reputation for autos that smoke like modern photoperiod elites.
Flavor and Aroma Profile
ILL#78 - Orange Panda leads with fresh-squeezed orange and sweet citrus, quickly chased by pungent diesel and a clean, candy-like finish. Limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, and humulene drive the bouquet—think orange marmalade over a gas-soaked peel, with a peppery snap on the exhale. Crack a jar and the room fills with tangy rind and sticky sweetness; grind it and the fuel note surges. On the palate it’s zesty, smooth, and moreish. Bag appeal is elite: frosty, orange-forward buds that reek like a citrus fuel station.
Effects and Benefits
Expect a quick-onset lift that lands in happy, chatty euphoria before settling into warm-body relaxation. Great for daytime creativity, social sessions, or unwinding after work without a heavy couch lock. The 21–25% THC brings potency with a clean, enjoyable arc that lasts a few hours, tapering to a gentle, comfortable comedown. If you want bright mood, sensory sparkle, and a chill finish, ILL#78 - Orange Panda is a versatile go-to.
Phenotypic Variation
Most phenos lean orange-citrus with a diesel tail, but you’ll see two common expressions: a zesty “orange soda” pheno with slightly longer spears and stacked calyxes; and a “fuel-forward” pheno with chunkier nuggets and a sharper gas bite. Colors range from lime to forest green with occasional amber-pistil flush; cool nights may tease subtle purples. Resin coverage is uniformly high—some phenos drip with greasy heads ideal for hash. Flavor swings from sweet orange candy to spiced peel and petrol, making pheno hunting rewarding for terp chasers.
Growing Guide
Skill level: beginner-friendly, rewarding for advanced growers. Keep temps 22–26°C day, 18–22°C night; RH 55–65% veg, 45–55% flower. Provide strong light (PPFD 600–800 early flower, 800–950 mid/late) and a steady light schedule (18/6 or 20/4). Gentle LST from week 2–3 is ideal; avoid aggressive topping after the autoset. Expect 80–150 g per plant indoors and 450–550 g/m² in optimized setups. From seed to harvest: 8–10 weeks. Pro tips: start in final pots (11–19 L) to prevent transplant shock; feed moderately early and ramp P/K in mid flower; maintain good airflow to densify colas and deter mold. Potential challenges include calcium/magnesium demands under high-intensity LEDs—supplement lightly—and early stretch; curb by increasing light intensity and managing VPD.
User Reviews
“Pulled 132 g from a 2x2 under 240W. Smells like orange cleaner and jet fuel. Super frosty, easy LST, no drama. Finished day 71. This one’s staying in the rotation.” — Jay M., intermediate grower
“Compact, uniform plants with chunky spears. Two phenos: sweet orange pop vs. gassy rind. Both bangers. Pressed rosin came out bright and terpy.” — K.L., experienced grower
