Seb's take
The name refers to the rich citrus flavour rather than the colour of the flowers, though orange, citrus and skunk on the nose make the point moot either way. The high runs happy, uplifted, euphoric, relaxed and energetic, built on Skunk #1 stock bred for speed and ease as much as taste. A jaw-dropping novelty in the eighties, a dependable classic now.
Where it comes from
An eighties classic, and one that has aged well. Herbies' Orange Bud descends from Skunk #1 stock, bred in that decade to carry the citrus character without sacrificing the speed, ease or generous yields Skunk was prized for. The name, the record is careful to note, refers to the rich citrus flavour rather than the colour of the flowers. What began as a jaw-dropping novelty has settled, sensibly, into a dependable classic, the rare strain that earned its reputation and then kept it.
Nose & flavour
Orange and citrus lead, bright and sweet, with the pungent skunk of the Skunk #1 parent underneath keeping it honest. The name makes the point and the nose confirms it, this is citrus-forward through and through, sharp and sweet at once, with a funk beneath that marks its heritage plainly. A lively, appetising aroma that does not travel discreetly.
The high
A bright, sociable high, happy and uplifted, tipping into euphoric and energetic, with a relaxed undertow to keep it grounded. At 23% THC it has real substance behind the cheer, but the character stays lively rather than leaden. More a daytime sort of experience than an evening one, and good company for it. The Skunk lineage shows in the get-up-and-go.
Growing it
A medium plant, holding to roughly 100 to 140cm, and an easy, quick one in the Skunk tradition. Flowering finishes in a brisk 56 to 60 days, with indoor yields landing around 458 to 488 g/m². The record is plain that she inherited her parent's speed, ease of growth and generous production alongside the flavour, which makes her forgiving of enthusiasm and a sound choice for a grower still finding their feet. A classic that is as obliging in the room as it is in the jar.
