Kali Mist

Of all the numerous strains on the cannabis seed market, Kali Mist is a widely recognized standard for the perfect sativa hybrid. She's often called the Queen of Sativas, and rightly so. Her refined, noble lineage traces back to the finest landraces, and multiple awards in international cups and competitions confirm her outstanding characteristics, which have found expression in this plant's incredible natural potential, amazing yield and mesmerizing appearance.

Genetics and Characteristics

Kali Mist is a feminized photoperiod sativa-dominant (90/10) hybrid with a high THC content of 17-19%, a testament to the dedication of breeders who not only managed to cross and stabilize the genetics of three sativa landraces native to Southeast Asia (presumably Cambodia), but also perfected it by adding a rare clone of Afghan indica. Introduced to Amsterdam's vibrant weed scene in 1993, Kali Mist quickly gained popularity among dedicated sativa enthusiasts for its astounding effects and exceptional flavor.

Considering the dominance of sativa, the plants typically display a moderate amount of foliage in the vegetative stage, elongated structure, spreading branches, wide internodes and manage to complete flowering in 10-11 weeks. The texture of the buds deserves special mention. At first glance, they appear deceptively weightless. The elongated, resinous flowers with a charming spicy aroma are characterized by the formation of dense spiral clusters. Indoor yields are generally 400-500 g/m2 (14-18 oz). Outdoors, Kali Mist rewards the grower with a generous 900-1200 g (32-42 oz) (!) from a single plant.

Flavor and Aroma

Her bright and pungent sativa aroma will greet you as soon as the pre-flowering stage begins! During flowering, you will need a reliable ventilation system equipped with a carbon filter to hide your hobby from your houseguests. In the final weeks of flowering, the scent of the buds becomes even more intense, creating a bouquet that combines skunk, spice, berry, and earthiness. Dried, cured and crushed flowers release a tangy, lemony aroma. Once the buds are touched by the flame, a delightful composition of sweet, floral, citrus, pine and peppery notes will overwhelm your taste buds and olfactory receptors with a wave of delight. True connoisseurs will recognize the notes of ripe strawberry and lavender.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The powerful cerebral effects of this perfect morning and daytime strain provide mental clarity and creative energy, while improving focus and mood. Kali Mist has overwhelming recreational effects, so it should be used moderately for medical purposes. When consumed in appropriate amounts, the hybrid is highly effective in relieving pain and inflammation, psychological and emotional disorders, stress, fatigue, loss of general tone, and nervous tension.

Cultivation

Kali Mist can be successfully grown both indoors and outdoors. Beginners may find this strain quite challenging to handle, so be sure to gain some theoretical background, seek the assistance of experienced colleagues and read successful grow reports to achieve good results.

If you choose to grow indoors, provide the plant with an optimal environment and specific conditions tailored to each stage of the plant's development. Adequate ventilation will aid in regulating the relative humidity in your grow room. Establishing a watering and feeding schedule with constant monitoring of pH and ppm (EC) levels will prevent overwatering and overfeeding. An optimal pot capacity should be between 15-20 liters (4-5.3 gallons).

When growing organically, pick a nutritious and balanced soil mix amended with perlite, vermiculite, zeolite and mycorrhiza. Ensure proper drainage. The optimal lighting regime with full-spectrum LED lamps is 18/6 during the vegetative stage, switching to 12/12 for the beginning of flowering. Once the plant has reached 5 nodes, you can start with LST. It's also recommended to use SoG/ScrOG techniques during the vegetative phase.
