Dalaihempy look. old danwoody hear .i remember growing out some nice killer and most spiritual buzz in my life from kalimist i liked it so much i have a few crosses of jlp sourdog x kalimist. but grown organic you will find very few true sativa lovers that love KM in there own way. there are some short flowering phenos but get a good pheno and your set.

Hi mate you know how much of a sative head i am and how much i love the haze hybrids also but the old KM took me by suprise i did not expect what i found.

I was gifted some rear old KM seeds from 96 or 97 need to re look by a good friend i thort cool id love to try this line any way grew them out found 2 phinos a very short squot phino and a taller more lanks phino.

The short squot one was the only fem i found and the rest were males the fem had no real smell in flower long story short i harvested and cured it i then sampled it thort mmm nothing very od as every one raves about this line.

20 minets late i feel it start to come on as i was doing something thort okay finaly and all it did from then was build and build into what i can tell you was like no haze hybrid high i have smoket to date it was like the best pure thia high i have ever had and the high with out a lie lasted 5 to 6 hours the hole time i was thinking to my self lucky i didnt smoke more of it.

Not only do i still have this cut but also made seeds from her with a km male that matched her perficly in looks very nice male infact.

The od thing about this fem KM cut is from seed it had thin sativa looking leaf now grown from clone has taken a more fat look to her leaf and odly if i didnt tell you she was KM you would not think it was km the flowers get fat yet more like a sat/indica look yet finishs fast under 10 weeks think last time i ran her she came in between 8 or 9 weeks and were talking the first km seed line here that made km imfumes.

KM has my respect and simon who created it why i sed in my first post if shes not rocking your world you dont have the right plant.

I think i have pics of her still both from seed plant and clone in flower to the only thing i can folt it on is yield not yuge say 3 to 4 oz cured .

No hint of stone trust me all high no celling and i would not give it to some one that was not a big smoker or only smoked comercial lines.


I realy wish this plant was free becouse i would love to shear this cut and more.

Hey Dalaihempy... me too!! Sounds wonderful! I still remember my first time smoking km in the dam. It was quite late in the evening and after two days smoking different dutch weed strains and not so good sleeping in a youth hostel :biglaugh: I felt tired and asked the "seller" at the greenhouse for some uplifting weed and he said "kalimist will do it!" and after smoking it i felt a powerful energy rush so i had to jump up and up again and again feeling euphoric.

Still got seven beans but they are from 98/99 or later I guess ....but i am sure they will do the trick :abduct:

Yep, you're right about the quality of the high and its also super pretty tasting. I'd be adventuresome to soar higher yet though if I can find a brighter stronger buzz but I have just sampled the hash and you're quite right again, really blasts ya way out and above wasted...

I was fortunate enough to breed up some beautiful big dark beans from careful selections and I can see I'll likely have many more phenos amongst the numbers, like this will be a fun exercise to pursue, so I'll be working with 'em for sure at this stage...

hmmm...some really nice stuff, I do really like it!!!
 
I'm curious what flowering times everyone else got for Kali Mist. I have a single pheno of the recent version and it's at 95 days with somewhat uneven ripening, ie 40-50% amber at some buds and no amber at others. I'll probably do a partial harvest at 100 days. It's the mild incense/perfume pheno and it's worth noting that some trichomes turn a deep cherry red instead of amber.

The unripe sample buds haven't blown me away, but then again I'm a chronic smoker and like I said, they weren't ripe yet. I lost my clone of it, but the super long flowering time makes me hesitant to grow it again (through revegging) until I pile up a large enough stash to make me feel secure.

and you have to give it at least 1 month cure to any sativa. yes you can smoke it right after drying but its nothing like it after 3 months cured.

I sent out a ton of Kali Mist clones to dozens of 'Merican OGers back in '03-'04.. Anybody here in this thread wouldn't happen to be one of the receivers?

I hit day 90 today and I'm at 80% cloudy and 20% clear still. I'm looking to keep this entirely heady so I don't want many amber trichomes in there. At what point did you start seeing the amber trichomes?

When you say incense/perfume pheno, does it smell like flowers to you? All three of mine smell like roses.

I made a post in the Den about my first couple experiences with it last night and today and for anyone that wants to be completely blitzed while having enough energy to clean your entire house, this is the plant. I cannot fathom how the high will be once they are all cloudy plus dried and cured properly

Kali Mist Kali Most

Kali Mist Kali Most

Now that I've finally got to sample a range of well matured Kali Mists and while I'm really enjoying, I'm wondering, is there a higher high out there than this stuff or is this going to be pretty much about as high as it gets??

Is there anything higher, more intense, more potent???

Qb

Hello,
Are Kali Mist & Kali Most Seperate Strains Or Just Miiss-Spelled? If They Are Different Which Is Better?
Thank You

I recently got 39 f1 female phenos from seed in doing a breeding project and found they were pretty much all finished at around the 14 week mark with several exceptions that clearly wanted to go on quite a lot further but most were consistently finishing at around the 100 days. By this stage, they're starting to die off naturally from old age, with shadow leaves wilting in rapid progression daily...I doubt you could generally push them too much further than this...

out of 39 females I had some excellent phenos, some rare, like one with an intense sweet and sour mango fragrance, a purple strawberry that nearly turned black and literally smelt and tasted like strawberry jam as well as the relatively common ode' cologne' or incense smelling ones and the odd catpiss pheno...collectively, this stuff omits an odor something pretty akin to pineapple lifesavers...

I saw amber tichs around the time you are at now. The plants were from clone and it seemed the riper buds were at the lamp's "sweet spot" directly under the bulb. I saw single amber/ red trichs at least a week before that, but there were too many clear trichomes for me to really consider it ripening.

Kali Mist is the shhhhiiiinnniiit! It is a great high and I kept a real sativa looking cut that just sends you into the stratosphere. I do her outside only and she has never failed me once. I also got a few different breeders versions of SSH that will be dropping pollen on the Kali mist this fall. Kali is one of those girls you either love or hate cause the right pheno is elusive. I wish good phenos on you all of this lady. She is like the Champagne of Weed, kinda like High Life is for beers!!

rupertb no by the look of your plant it should slow down and start to add nice sativa looking buds .she gets really sticky. but i have had phenos at that stage stretch while flowering .
i got good at growing kalimist .but i have been growing 2-3 plants every year for 6 years looking for the best pheno. every one was strong in there own way.

i Evan have some sourdogxkalimist and some Bogs sweetc99 x kalimist that has huge yields and turns nice color in the fall yellow to black and has a sweet pip tobacco flavor.
and very strong buzz . its a mix starts off in the head and your up for a while then you wake up the next morning not remembering when you passed out. just the best feeling
like you had the best nights sleep.

Here is some info i have found on Kali not sure where i copy and pasted this from but here ya go:
Kali Mist: Still a superior player in the sativa champions league
Since the year of 1996, when, on occasion of the Amsterdam Cannabis Street Festival, I happened to enjoy the merits of Kali Mist weed for the first time, I have fallen in love with this unique sativa strain. The legendary Eagle Bill (who unfortunately died last year) had a booth at this festival and, amongst other strains, offered free Kali Mist vaporizer hits to the people. I will never forget this awesome experience: Kali Mist immediately extremely quickened both body and soul, caused a feeling of sanguine mental easiness, having the effect of a long lasting energy injection. Two years later, I was sitting in the ?Grey Area? coffeeshop in Amsterdam with two friends, being totally smoked to the bone and almost unable to move. But we still had to walk several kilometres to the Highlife Cup that took place in suburban Amsterdam, far away from the centre! Then we bought some Kali Mist and after having smoked a little bit, we promptly got on our feet again, like robots under a marching order, it was just impossible to sit still any longer. There it was again, this prickling energetic feeling that directly captures body and mind. Kali Mist has this special rare ability of cutting through a dissipating high from a previous smoke. It cuts through your fatigue and fog, scaring away those gloomy ghosts of passive stonedness. A perfect party weed that makes you move your ass, dance like a dervish and communicate vividly with other guests. It`s the exact opposite to a couch-lock Indica that makes you introverted, passive and sleepy.

Kali Mist was bred by Simon, the breeder and owner of Serious Seeds, in 1993. Shortly after its initial appearance in the cannabis scene in 1994, Kali Mist won a first harvest festival award when being elected best hydro weed at the High Times Cannabis Cup 1995 in Amsterdam. But the years went by and to my great surprise, Kali Mist did not score any other price at the annual Cannabis Cup. Then it was the ladies who finally brought about the breakthrough again: At the High Times Cup 2000, the celebrity judges responsible for the sativa category were exclusively women, and these prominent cannabis ladies came to an unanimous decision: Kali Mist was the strain with the most uplifting high, the most attractive look and the best aroma. What an awesome comeback: Five years after its first Cannabis Cup success, Kali Mist finally became the world`s official sativa champion, a victory that really had been overdue, after years of permanent boring Haze dominance. Simon confirms that Kali Mist is very popular amongst women in general: ?Next to the sheer pleasure of smoking it, we received several reports that it works great against menstrual cramps.? In 2004, Kali mist won a 3rd price in the hash category of the High Life Cup Spain, awarded on occasion of the High Life Fair in Barcelona 2004. This Kali Mist hash had been produced from Spanish outdoor plants.

Many people have speculated about Kali Mist`s genetics, often claiming it also contains original Haze genetics (that`s wrong!), as Simon has not precisely revealed its pedigree. But even if he wanted to, he just would not be able: Simon had received Kali Mist`s ancestors from different growers who for the most part didn`t know themselves where they exactly originated from. Nevertheless, certain details are for sure. The wellknown author Mel Frank reported in 1996 that ?Kali Mist appears to have much Southeast Asian character? and that he ?grew Kali Mist ancestral stock in the early `80s in Oakland, California?. Well, we do not know whether there randomly was a direct connection between the stock Mel Frank grew back then and the material Simon used for breeding Kali Mist, but we know at least that Mel Frank guessed right ? Kali Mist, indeed, has a strong Southeast Asian background, namely Cambodian genes which constitute a major influence in Kali Mist. And Simon reports that before he started working with the Kali Mist genetics, different US growers had already cultivated its ancestors, but not used it as breeding stock. The other ancestor that is definitely known is an Afghani indica, and Simon revealed that the breeding pattern consists of two sativa dominant hybrids. Furthermore he assumes that there are also Colombian and Thai genetics in Kali Mist`s ancestors.

So what is for sure at least is the fact that the Kali Mist gene pool partly traces back to Cambodian and Afghani heritage and that its ancestral stock had previously been cultivated in the States. Interestingly, Simon made a trip to Cambodia in the past, trying to find high-grade landraces for refreshing and further advancing his Kali Mist, but wasn`t successful - he couldn`t find anything that was comparable to the Cambodian dominant lines he already had.

Kali Mist looks back on a very eventful breeding history, its genetic composition has been changed several times due to certain circumstances. The initial Kali version that was available until 1997 resembled, as already mentioned above, very much a Southeast Asian sativa. But while its high was superior, Simon wanted to improve its medium yield and decided to increase the Afghani indica share. Accordingly Kali Mist got a new father with more indica genes. This resulted into Kali Mist plants with higher yields and shorter flowering times, but also decreased the calyx-to-leaf ratio and interfered with that sensationally clean sativa high. Hence many Kali Mist lovers were unsatisfied with this revised version, stating that quality would be more important to them than quantity. But this was only one reason that made Simon return to a more sativa dominant pattern again in 1998. The other was that he simply was forced to recompose the Kali Mist strain anew, due to the fact that two breeding gardens of Serious Seeds had been busted at almost the same time and all specimens of Kali Mist`s male parent had been confiscated by the police. So this male parent used at that time for producing Kali Mist seeds was lost, but luckily, Simon still had closely related genetic lines at his disposal that had survived at other locations. In the aftermath of this bust, Kali Mist seeds weren`t available for one year and Simon eagerly worked on a new genetic profile. He took the chance and decided to revive its original almost pure sativa character by using a sativa dominant third father for creating the new Kali Mist version for the next millennium. And Simon`s decision to celebrate a Kali Mist sativa revival was soon rewarded by winning the sativa category of the High Times Cup 2000. Kali Mist nowadays has a sativa content of about 80-90 percent. However, since its second revision, Kali Mist has a flowering time longer than ever before, it takes 70-90 days to ripen - but that`s still short compared to a pure Haze for example. And the unique sativa high from the early days of Kali Mist has successfully been restored.

You will not be surprised that it was Mr. Power Planter again who conducted a test grow of Kali Mist. He sowed 10 seeds and nine of them sprouted. The plants were cultivated in six litre pots filled with Plagron standard soil mix, placed under a 600 W Osram Nav-T. They grew very fast, already revealing their mostly sativa character in the vegetative stage, having fairly wide internodes. Leafs were lush green and quite narrow. Two of the plants were much shorter than the rest, also having darker leafs, obviously they were determined by a stronger indica influence. 3.5 weeks after germination, Mr. Power Planter induced flowering by shortening the light cycle from 18 to 12 hours. Unfortunately, after 7-9 days, six plants turned out to be male and only three were female. Mr. Power Planter wondered whether his crop had been exposed to any kind of stress that might have caused that high maleness rate, but couldn`t find any hint for that. Then he came to the conclusion that this time he just had bad luck in the numbers game always played by mother nature when growing plants from seed. Often enough, he had been a lucky dog, getting much more females than males from a seed batch. One of the shorter Kali Mist plants had proven to be female and also in the course of flowering, it became clear that it wouldn`t stretch very much and flower faster than the other two plants that were very sativa dominant. These two ladies grew into real sativa beasts, heavily branching out and stretching a lot so that Mr. Power Planter had to bend their tops down and transplant them to larger pots with a volume of 15 litres. After 70 days of flowering, the short Kali Mist lady had ripened, featuring very dense and hairy buds that were most beautiful to look at and delicious to smell with their unusual sweet and spicy scent. The resin content was not abundant, but very decent. The other two plants proved to be real bud giants in the end, when they had matured two weeks later - after 84 days of flowering (so all of the plants were in time). They both measured 155 cm - welcome to bud jungle was the motto, huge classic sativa buds everywhere, even the lower and medium branches had produced colas of tremendous size. But these marvellous big buds also revealed some fox-tailing and a somewhat airy structure, as they consisted of numerous single flower lances, they were by far not as tight as the buds of the plant that ripened first. I think this gracile sativa cluster structure with lots of small calyxes and lances is typically Kali Mist. But the sheer mass of buds was supposed to make for an excellent harvest result nevertheless, however, at the time this article was written, buds had not yet fully dried. The smell of the classic Kali Mist sativa phenotype was the same as the other one had, very authentic and typically Kali.

Thanks to the very high calyx-to-leaf ratio, all of the three plants were quickly harvested and processed. When the smallest flower clusters had dried, it was time to fly? the sativa turn was as great as expected, very refreshing with an immediate onset, accelerating our heartbeat and speeding up our thoughts and movements. However, after a certain time, also a slight indica effect was noted, it was like slowly landing again after an intense long flight. With both the buds of phenotype 1 and 2, this type of high progression was the same. The smoke of all buds was also great, having an extraordinarily mild consistency, but at the same tasting deliciously spicy.

So Mr. Power Planter was highly satisfied with the performance of Kali Mist that immediately became one of his top three head-stash strains. And he is very confident that mother nature will serve up justice next time and provide more females to him.

Simon reports that Kali Mist also does extremely well under the Spanish sun, growing to a height of up to three metres and producing big yields, while being highly mold resistant, even in a very humid climate during maturation. A grower from Ibiza reported that his Kali Mist plants are regularly finishing already in the second half of October, although Serious Seeds generally states November as harvest date under natural light. Kali Mist is highly recommended for hydroponic cultivation and clones can be flowered directly after root formation. The effect of Kali Mist has proven very beneficial for medical users with e.g. multiple sclerosis, fatigue and chronic pain and can be used as all-day weed.


btw I have a cross of Kali Mist x Bubble Gum called Kali Gum going outside right now, I am sure it will be some killer smoke

I planted 4 and 1 was male. I would keep every single one of them from just the initial taste test.

I planted 4 recently. I got all females. I kept clones of all of them. but, I'm still in early flower.
