Clockwork Orange by Clone Only Strains
1 other breeder's version of Clockwork Orange — compare flowering times side by side →
The history of Clockwork Orange is straight out of old-school forum lore, completely wrapped in mystery and grower debates. Originally held by a reclusive breeder out in the hills near Temecula, the rumors ran wild for years. Some old heads swore it was a colchicine-treated mutant of Greenhouse’s Alaskan Ice, but the general consensus on spots like ICMag is that it's actually an unverified cross of G13 and Black Widow. Eventually, Riot Seeds spent years working the line to release it in feminized seed form, but that original clone-only cut from Clone Only Strains remains a total holy grail for serious strain collectors.
Growing this plant is a wild ride, mostly because of its infamous leaf mutation. In the vegetative stage, the authentic cut throws out these crazy, crinkled, almost deformed-looking leaves. Beginners used to panic and think they had a virus, but if you see that crinkle, you know you've got the real deal. It grows as a bushy, balanced hybrid and needs about 70 to 77 days to finish flowering indoors. Once it flips to flower, it stacks up hard and ditches the mutant look for dense, resin-caked nuggets.
The smoke is intense and unforgiving. The aroma is a mix of old-school earthy pine and spicy, Haze-like herbal notes. It hits you with a heavily numbing body stone combined with a soaring, cerebral head rush that can easily induce paranoia if you aren't ready for it. Clockwork Orange earned its cult following by being unapologetically strong and completely unique. It’s a piece of cannabis history that reminds us of the wild west days of underground breeding.

Growing Clockwork Orange: what to expect
As an indica-leaning plant, expect a modest stretch after the flip (roughly 50–100%) and dense bud structure — which makes late-flower humidity discipline the main risk: keep RH in the 40s once buds fatten to stay ahead of mold. Growers familiar with Alaskan Ice will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
