Seb's take
Orange Skunk crossed with White Widow, the most famous name in the business, produces old-school heft rather than sleight of hand. Strong and fruity on the nose, with long, solid buds glistening with crystals; the high is straightforwardly happy, no tricks required.
Where it comes from
De Sjamaan crossed Orange Skunk with White Widow — arguably the most famous name in the whole business — for The Magician, and the result is old-school heft rather than sleight of hand. Sixty-five percent indica. The White Widow lends the crystal coat and the punch; the Orange Skunk brings the fruit and the pungency. A heavy, pungent plant with long, solid buds glistening with resin. No tricks in the lineage, just two well-known names doing honest work.
Nose & flavour
The record names no specific notes, but the breeder is clear enough: the smell and taste are strong and fruity — the Orange Skunk side showing plainly through the Widow's punch. Loud and pungent rather than subtle. I'll not embroider past that; the fruit leads, the pungency carries it, and she announces herself well before the jar is open.
The high
The breeder keeps it simple: expect a happy high. At a medium strength, the fair reading is something cheerful and uplifting rather than flattening — genial company rather than a full stop to the evening. The record names no more than that, so neither will I. A straightforwardly good-humoured lift, no tricks required.
Growing it
She grows tall — 120 to 200cm — so give her the headroom, or train her early to keep the height in check. Flowering is relatively quick at forty-nine to sixty days, fast for a plant this size. No yield figure is recorded, so I'll not invent one, though the long, solid, crystal-heavy buds the breeder describes point in a promising direction. A vigorous grower that rewards a bit of space and a firm hand with a resinous, pungent harvest.
