βA fine blend of sweet orange flavoured Californian strains, combined with a skunky hash flavoured Indica. A
versatile plant which performs well under all conditions. The more heavily branched specimens tend to be the
big yielders.

greenhouse: up to 500 gr.β- Sensi Seed Bank
Growers Comments:
βLighting was a 50/50 mix of 1000w MH and HPS. The plants were grown in soil with organic ferts mixed into the
soil before planting. The plants started out under 40w fluorescent light in 16 oz. cups for approximately 4
weeks, then transplanted to 2 gallon pots under the MH and HPS. Plants were vegged for another 4 weeks,
then the lights were turned back to 12/12. After the females were identified, most were transplanted into 5
gallon pots. No CO2 was used. The seeds were Sensi Seeds products purchased through Ubino.
Two packs, 32 seeds, were germed in paper towels. These seeds were a bit problematic. Some didn't
germinate, others showed a root, but failed to develop any further. Others broke the surface of the soil, but
didn't grow any "adult" leaves, stopping with just the 2 seed leaves. I ended up with 16 seedlings, 13 "normal"
looking seedlings, with 3 "runts." The runts were discarded. Of the remaining 13, 7 turned out to be female.
The plants physical appearance was very similar, with good branching. Finished heights were between 42 and
52 inches with the average at 48.3. Dry, manicured weights are as follows: min. 44g, max. 83g, average 56.7g.
The smell and flavor was a little different for each plant, with the largest one being a bit fruity. The others had
a better stone and resin, however. The high is quite "stony," not couch lock, but very nice. There were
absolutely no hermies with this strain, but 2 were subject to mold, and the grow was kept a bit dry, so if any of
you grow this, keep an eye out for the tell tale signs of "bud rot." If you can tolerate the low seedling to seed
ratio, I would recommend growing this strain.β β High Dog

Growers Comments:
"Regarding California Orange⦠Ed Rosenthal says he knows (it was) developed by Cultivators' Choice in
California in the 70's.β
βAs far as the Cali O, wheeeweee that is one excellent smoke too. This one came as a cut from a friend; the
mom has been around for many years. Its hard to ever doubt that this is the real deal Cali O-- smells sooo
citrusy it'll make your eyes water. Very coated with a pretty good bud structure. But the high is just excellent.
Keeps you very stoned and mellow but will not put you down unless you smoke too much. While its not the
most potent, this is definitely on the all time high list, for smell, taste, and quality of stone.β - ~shabang~
"I'm smoking some bud from an original Orange mom right now... she smells like a fresh cut orange, tastes
like tang, and has a great social high. The cuts can be traced back to California over 15 years ago...." -
~shabang~
"β¦This is the same cut of Orange that a few other people have passed around. The yield is pretty good when
you consider it is a 7-week strain. You can let it go to 52 or 55 days and it is a little thicker but not as sweet.
You can get 1.5+ pounds of organic per 1K of light, in 7 weeks that's not bad eh?
Sorry no rough estimate yet Irish, will be ready in time for New Years though. There were 4 main colas on that
one and 2 smaller side branches; I prune off almost everything below what you saw so it's easier to trim.
They're usually an ounce and a half per plant, can go up to two.
I didn't mention anything on the smoke of it. I've grown her so much and figured so many others have that
going on about her quality of stone would be old hat. You got it though-- one of the best hybrid highs around.
Not the most potent but definitely strong enough.
I was smoking earlier samples while I was trimming and more than a few times I found myself standing up to
trim instead of sitting cause I had too much energy. Amazing the kind of housework you can get done when
you have a bud that doesn't lock you to the couch. The smell and taste are nothing less than complete orange
overload. After rubbing off my scissor hash, my fingers smelled for hours like I'd been peeling oranges instead
of trimming buds. It was too nice of a smell to wash off so now everything around is sticky too.
This cutting has been around for 20 years, originally from California. Cross-out tests have shown it is *not* a
stabilized hybrid, looks more like the offspring of two unrelateds. Whether the parents were stable is anyone's
guess, but this cut is certainly what "Cali-Orange" is supposed to be. I consider the C/O to be
connoisseur-quality. The orange smell is unmistakable, high is first rate, and potency is good.
Potency is good, but not great. It's really good smoke and you wouldn't think twice about the strength until you
live with her a while. I wouldn't be surprised to see a more potent line made with this cutting going around
sometime soon. I say its connoisseur-quality for a few reasons:
1) The average krippy smoker wouldn't think twice about smoking the Orange-- looks good, smells good, gets
you high. Nothing outrageous about it, it doesn't hit you like a 2 x 4.
2) The experienced connoisseur will note subtle differences about her that make her stand out among the
crowd. Besides the fast flowering time and good vigor, you have to look at the smoke qualities-- the complex
head high, the lack of tolerance you build to her, and intensity of the smell. The quality of the high is just
excellent. It will range from strong head rush, to relaxing, yet quite energizing.
Asking me to pick a favorite between Orange and DAB is a tough one. The DAB is more likely to impress the
average smoker-- resin count, bud appearance; intense rush will make DAB look like the better weed. But the
Orange has a timeless quality about her. If I could only take one strain to grow on a deserted island, I would
likely pick the Orange." - Shabang

Description:
βA 100% Skunk selection, grows with thick hard buds and orange pistils. A very appreciated variety.
Specifications:
~ Flower: 8 weeks ~ Harvest: end of Oct.β β Dutch Passion seedbank catalog
Growers Comments:
βThis pretty bud lives up to its namesake with light green buds, covered in bright orange hairs. There are also
tiny crystals on all the leaves and buds. Its strong skunky smell is actually tapered by the more green smell
that accompanies it. Fluffy and light, the buds break up nicely, leaving your fingers a little tacky. The
expansive strong smoke tastes a bit like a brown weed (earthy)--the skunk taste has been eliminated with
some green taste lightly in the background. ***1/2β β Homepage Amsterdam
"Mine is also from Dutch Passion. I'll be honest it is not a great yielder. My first harvest, soil/chemical, it had a
brown weed taste. My last harvest, #4, hydro/organically, the brown weed taste is there, but the is a citrus
undertone. By the way it leaves your mouth watery, not cottonmouth like my skunk #1. I prefer skunk #1 to it,
but my friends prefer the OB.β
βI prefer the OB to SK#1, one of the 2 other strains I own. Iβm doing it in water culture with GH nutes, in a
basement with about 6'5" total height, kind a pain in da butt. My version of the Orange Bud is from Positronics
through Jock. Genetically it is about 6 months old, and in its 2nd flowering cycle. The taste is more citrusy than
brown but the brown you speak of is noticeable. The strain just isnβt as sweet as an NL."
"...I've puffed orange bud all over the world from Amsterdam to London to LA and it is consistently one of my
favorite strains. At best, orange bud is hispid with very long bright orange pistils, very dense "nugglet" buds,
and above average crystal production. Very nice cerebral high, wonderful juicy taste. IMHO, orange bud is one
of the most common high-end strains in America and Western Europe." -Mao Tse Tung
"Orange bud is a great strain(at least Positronics version is.) Potent and fairly tasty. Sunsets are great on
orange bud due somewhat to its trippy nature. Very clear high. A little light on the yields but still acceptable. Of
the 10 or so strains I've messed with it still rates towards the top. Wish mine was still around. enjoy the
orange." βkaka
"Oh, yes it sure will stretch during the first few weeks of flowering. I found that by keep my MH 400W about 2
to 3 inches from the top of the plant and placing a fan to gently blow the tops, the stretching will be reduced.
Also flush it out with plain water before switching it to 12/12 and adding bloom nutrient. It is also one of mine
and many of my fellow tokers' favorite strain." -Mota
