Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is medium. Identity confidence is medium. The diagram is this strain's own sensory radar, not a photo. Batch quality still depends on grower, freshness and storage — none of which is captured here.
Background
The story
“Orange and citrus over a skunky, earthy base, clean and classic.”
The nose is bright and sweet: orange and citrus over a skunky, earthy base, clean and classic. The effect is balanced and happy — an uplifting, mood-lifting high with a relaxed body, a versatile all-rounder.
It's moderate and dependable, an old-school flavour-forward skunk. For a sweet citrus-skunk classic, Orange Bud has endured for decades.
