An old-school indica/sativa hybrid cannabis strain that dates back to the early 1980s if not before! A terrific resin producer that produces good to very good yields in just 9 weeks flowering indoors. Its dense buds have a really strong orange/citrus flavor and deliver a very potent, uplifting, happy high but one which may induce the old "cotton mouth" feeling so it is advisable to keep a drink handy. Heavier doses can lead to a more couch-lock indica-type stoned effect. Medically it can be used to help combat stress and depression.

For the last three grows I have been topping twice to get four tops, which is called manifolding. Previously I was topping once at the second node to get foup tops, which I've seen referred to as Uncle Ben's Method. I'm leaning towards topping once, as it seems to lead to much quicker vegging than topping twice. These Cali Orange are taking forever to bounce back from the second topping. Also, I haven't seen a dramatic difference in yield between the two. Any opinions from other people who top their plants?

Looks good. I got one piece of advice. When you start your plants back the lights up a little and let them stretch a bit more.

It lets the plant get a little taller and keeps the bottom leaves out of the soil.

I leave a couple inches head space in my pot that way if they stretch too much I can add some dirt back.


Good looking grow.

I appreciate the help.

I'm using a 200w led (true watts) for veg. 24" seem about right?

I'm not sure as I don't use led. Its fine at that height for growing. I would just raise it a bit when sprouting.

I started doing that because I got tired of my bottom leaves drooping when they needed water and getting wet after watering.

Looks beautiful! have you tried and other Seedsman strains? I have a bunch of their white widow that I got as freebies. Looks like I should grow it soon if it's anything like yours.
