Calypso

Calypso is a sativa dominant hybrid (60% sativa/40% indica) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 18-24% on average, with 1% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the Calypso high as an immediate uplifting cerebral rush that sharpens focus and sets off waves of creative energy, keeping you motivated and sociable without weighing down the body. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. Because of these effects, Calypso is often chosen for managing chronic fatigue and low mood, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Calypso has a distinctive skunk and sweet flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a skunk-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has chunky popcorn-shaped bright neon green nugs, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Calypso is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Calypso family — see Calypso Candy and Calypso Fruit for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
