Hey All.
I'm a huge fan of the original Cali-O (aeric77 cut). I used to get some of the dankness nugs of it years ago from a small collective in Oaksterdam. I stumble across some clones of it from a friend of friend in mendo a few years ago, that has since been lost, And recently I'm making my attempt once again to obtain a cut of it, or some form of it's genetics.
Let's clarify first, that we're not talking about orange colored bud. what nonsense for such an incredible strain to get mixed up in a bunch of swag just because of it's name. California Orange is not orange bud. We don't call bud by the way it looks, that's stupid. California orange, is california orange. Better known as Cali-O.
In my attempts at collecting and researching the real Cali-O. I've gathered some of it's crosses. since we all know - there aren't any beans of it. So far, the hybrids I've collected that most likely have the cali-o genetics we're after are - Royal Orange, Agent Orange, Jillybean/Tangie, C-Plus, California-Indica, Calizahr, and Orange Apollo(maybe).
I'm interested to hear what people think who have grown these genetics, and what they thought of the end result. It's basically just a choice of what you want your Cali-O served with.
Some of these strains history is so vague or unknown, that's it's really difficult to know it's origin. But what did you think while growing it? Did it resemble the easy-growing Cali-O we all use to know? Does it stink of oranges? did it taste like oranges? Do you think it's in the genes?
All I Know is, You could smell that stuff through cement if it was grown n cured right.
Cheers my fellow orange lovers!
