Historical sample observations
A historical UK review sample provides the following sample-specific context. This week the archive are taking a look at another exclusive strain - CaliPo. This one is new to the UK market, bred by Arc Fams & the Cali_Po Cartel. \n CaliPo is a sativa-dominant strain that is making its way around the UK right now. Originally bred in 2014, the current batch came from a 2017 seed selection that saw 10 mother plants. Suffering from neglect and even some spider mite, eventually - and fortunately - this phenotype was saved. \n \n Appearance \nThis sample looks great - it feels solid i.e. dense, and it is well-developed with good trim job and good colouration. The pistils are a rich golden colour, and the bud itself is made up of shades of light green.\n\nAs the reviewer was handling this it is sprinkling trichomes everywhere, and the reviewer already can't wait to get it into the grinder and smoke some!\n\n \n Smell \nApparently, the genetics of this strain are not known (at least by us or the archive's contacts at this stage), but the reviewer can smell strong orange and citrus, with hints of grapefruit.\n\nThe CaliPo smells sweet without the pungency, setting it apart from Marmalade , ODV3 and the other awesome orange-inspired cannabis strains the archive've come across.\n\nThe aroma of this sample is perhaps one of the reviewer's favourite things about it. A delicious orange aroma that isn't what you would expect. Breaking open the flower, the reviewer get literal hints of Calippo (the ice lolly popular during the reviewer's childhood), so it feels particularly well-named.\n\n \n\n Taste \n\nConsuming this through the reviewer's Snoop Dogg Mothership bong , this seems to unleash a lot of power very quickly. The high kicks in fast, resulting in very red eyes that you'll see from about halfway through the review video.\n\nDuring the video the reviewer also coughed a fair bit after two bowls, partially due to a cough the reviewer was suffering from at the moment. The bong smoke gives a sweet orange flavour reminicient of the smell of the strain, but not overtly strong tasting when smoked in this way.\n\nVaping this in the Mighty Vaporizer , the reviewer get the delicious nuances of the sweet orange notes - like a sweet zesty sort of taste. It tastes smooth and clean, delicious at 180 degrees celsius.\n\nThe Calippo ice lolly taste is also detectable in the vaporizer, so the reviewer was glad the reviewer opted to use the Mighty for this review. Vaping is the reviewer's preferred consumption method whrehn it comes to the CaliPo cannabis strain by Arc Farms and the Cali_Po Cartel.\n\n \n Effects \nAs mentioned above, this one kicked in hard, and it kicks in fast. As a sativa-dominant strain, this is the sort of thing the reviewer prefer to smoke in the daytime, but you can see from the video just how red it made the reviewer's eyes, so it maybe not the best one for discreet daytime smoking!\n\nThe effects are very nice, uplifting and clear-headed. The head high of CaliPo leaves the reviewer feeling creative and inspired.\n\n \n Conclusion \nI like how different the CaliPo strain is to other strains. the reviewer also like the effects of this one, making it good for smoking in the daytime.\n\nThe UK is bringing some fire to the table with this one, and the reviewer look forward to seeing more reaction to it from an international audience.
