Willy … That’s a heck of a saw tooth leaf!

Hahaha
It was an absurd thing, sometimes the serrations were slightly bent upwards, increasing the effect...
The scent of that plant was really spectacular, if you take a Sicilian orange in your hands and smell it, you get exactly that scent...
@mexcurandero420
I remember in Switzerland cali-o buds,quite dense, fragrant, with a lot of hairs red - copper...
Not strong like superskunk or others skunk-type, but perfect for daytime and moments with friends...
Lot of good memories....

$5 per seed in 1987 adjusted for inflation = $13.89 per seed in today’s dollars

A small percentage of the plants can develop male flowers, which is expressed most heavily when plants suffer from severe stress. It is advised to check your plants thoroughly during flowering and act immediately before the male flowers open and pollinate the other plants. (Orange Bud Description DP)

what seed line are you running Ace and where did you source them?

 

[acespicoli]

unfortunately the dried buds had a more skunky, sweaty taste....

Bless you for adding this stuff
"Pure grapefruit mercaptan, or citrus-derived oils rich in grapefruit mercaptan, are sometimes used in perfumery and the flavor industry to impart citrus aromas and flavors. However, both industries actively seek substitutes for grapefruit mercaptans for use as a grapefruit flavorant, since its decomposition products are often highly disagreeable to the human sense of smell."

I knew what I was looking for in these the Orange line and Cali-o with the resultant S1's will maybe travel to the train thread for use in an old recipe
The orange oil is anazing and the lemon skunks...

def citrus is the taste we want from Orange Bud, the best tasting ones I had were grown in Florida (tasted just like FL oranges)
Im always intrigued by the fine sweet corn and watermelons that come from the sand much better tasting than clay grown counterparts

what seed line are you running Ace and where did you source them?

This herm was a S1 of AE77 from above that said this is in no a smear on the line its excellent, one of the best of many (one would be unwise to disregard it)
CSI is a fine distributor a little slow on replies (likely due to volume and available time...)but generous and honest IMO


Next up is Dutch Passion Orange will do a side by side and any others anyone wants to bring to the thread are welcome
Alot of people say their better as hybrids (welcomed also) I wanted the the clone S1s and the regular line before I compare it to my 80s memories
Best >>>

i was thinking about running some of the ones from CSI this year.
