Dankwolf, your 2004 description of Sensi is of their California Indica, which is a known cross of the California Orange and an Afgani, I believe. This is not the description for the Cali Orange. Thank you for all your information.Greatly appreciated.

I checked my 03 to 05 seed catalogs and found no other orange bud description foe sensi seeds white label or not . Take it for what its worth.

I am happy to hear that it helped .

This is the one I was referring too. They still sell it just like this. Sensi Seeds offers the California Indica, which is a California Orange Bud cross, and White Label carries the California Orange Bud. To me it would seem crazy if they were calling it California Orange Bud, which is the original name....if it wasn't. All the other's are specific that it is a cross, Still digging. Yes, very helpful. Thanks for taking the time.

White Label California Orange Bud Cannabis Seeds

California Orange Bud was brought from to Holland from California in the early Eighties and adapted for indoor and greenhouse cultivation. This variety has an surprising zest in both taste and performance. The orange plants grow fast and does not cause any troubles, so is a great choice for novices. The more experienced connoisseurs can achieve enormous yields. California Orange Bud has sweet citrus aroma and orange flavour.

Genetics: Orange Bud
Flowering Time: 45 – 55 Days
Sex: Regular
Type: 70% Indica
Area: Indoor and Outdoor

igrowone, Thank you. Yes, I had actually just saw that last night. It seems like the original, or as close to it, as the California Orange Bud from White Label.
So many decisions. I think I better start grabbing some of these older strains and start pheno hunting, and then do an open pollination, and see what I can come up with, still keeping the lines pure in mother form.

I just finished my Homegrown Fantaseeds California Orange grow.

A few notes:

- They have a gentle citrus aroma
- They have orange pistils
- They are not strong

I had sativa & indica phenos, love the sativa, indica is quite boring.

I put a clone of the sativa pheno to my running Sensi Black Domina grow.

I smoked DPs Orange Bud, which is completely different, 100% Skunk.

Because HF is run by Ex-Positronics chances are high that they use an old Amsterdam genetic.

good luck with the project, could be a good one to hang on to
1 other possible source is a member here, festivus i think
he made some cali-o f2's and put them up on seedbay a few years back
probably still in their seed vault

Dont mean to sound like a dick but is cali o part of tangie ?

Next question if tangie and cali o are similar or the same why is tangie viewed as something new and not a retro strain ? If u smoked cali o in 80 something or 90s and ur smoking tangie now why has no one said i remember this strain ..it wins awards like its never seen the light of day

Im sorry to hijack but that always puzzled me ..i had tangie when the cut was first in so cal before crockett had a seed company when dna won those first 3 cups then i had sour tangie from some dudes in norcal the sour tangie wasnt as orange smelling more of a creamy scent until u light it ..then u get the tangie ..idk if its the cup cut i was getting but it was the most orange tasting smelling i mean REEK of oranges amd tangerines ..shit isnt that potent tho but its flavor takes over anything no matter how small the bud

1# renameing of water downed strains.
2# if you dont belive me research vlue dream its been around for a long time under differnt names .
3# some terps over ride others . if two strains smell toraly different lets say skunk and blueberry but both carry a orange/ citrus dna they will come out orange /citrus with likly under tones of the other original terps. With the normal anomaly's.
4# some of Rhe old strains where 100% better then there modern day cousins. (my opinion)

tangie is definitely not something new. the marketing behind it is.

I agree 100% . marketing.............. Sad times we live in.i am happy i stayed out of the green rush .

Tangie is kick ass stuff, great tasting flower when grown nicely. Thats why it getting popular these days, its tasty as all fuck and plenty potent, I don't see it as a negative turn of events at all. Weed store customers go for that kind of bud, its a good product plus the flavor gives it a novelty hook.

I'm getting ready to order some seeds, including Tangie, for some upcoming small projects. I have an Orange Creamsicle male as well as Citrus Berry and Orange Juice males.

I sent Sam Skunkman a message several days ago. I keep hoping he will message back or add some information from the one source that would definitely know. We shall see.

I strongly dislike citrus/orange terps . been many years but back when i qould run out of the good old skunk/rks and i would have to tolerate cali orange outdoor or chemical/toxic hydro beaster went on for months some times :fsu: . and even worse people like the seasonal orange buds to the point i had to put orange peels in the beaster by request many times .

The old humbolt-Afghan and the c99-pineapple was great product all the way around . i miss the pineapple i bet it would make a great cross with a orange strain especialy if the pineapple was the male .

I am sure an organic well maintanied indoor quality oramge could be killer just have not seen it yet.

Sam_Skunkman, If you happen to see this, is it possible to confirm if this is true? I found this quote on an old forum and now can't find who said it. The claim is that the Aeric 77 cut is the original before it went to A-Dam long ago. Thank you to anyone with information on this.
"If you're looking for Cali-O (AERIC 77, California Orange) you can find that at Dutch passion and others as well. Chimera uses the original Cali-O cut "Aeric 77" in some of his breeding. The Aeric 77 cut is just the original cut before it was sent over to amsterdam a very long time ago (decades). Cali-O or California Orange or Aeric 77 IS KNOWN FOR ITS ORANGE CITRUSY AROMA AND TASTE"

Does anyone have experience with breeding Calio, I have a couple ccc s1's and wondering what to cross them with, a hashplant? Or something sativa?

Im not big on citrus terps either (we are like cats lol), but sweet orange is preferable to sour lemon in my book, that old humbolt-Afghan sounds nice, Im thinking of natural, forest grown bud?...

The humbolt look to be green house product.

From what i have gathered alot of hash plant × cali-o/orange has been done with great results. I cant say from personal experience but i hear the cali-o/orange strains breed true to there terp profile even with vary strong breeds but lack the thc numbers that people want to purchase . cali-o/orange strains are known for a great taste and smell that holds true over time unlike many of todays genetics . my understanding is there best used for the male side of a cross but like i said i have not played with any citrus strains for the most part.

C+ seems interesting :)
