Kali Mist

Kali Mist, a top strain from Serious Seeds

Kali Mist is one of Serious Seeds' most prized gems, known for preserving the pure essence of sativas with 90% sativa genetics in its lineage. Its tall, elegant structure, with widely spaced leaves, allows light to easily penetrate to the lower parts, resulting in generous and high-quality production. Furthermore, its buds are large, sticky, and very resinous, making it a pleasure to work with for both growers and those seeking extractions.

Although many indica hybrids dominate the market today, cultivating a pure sativa like Kali Mist is a unique experience. It has, for good reason, been dubbed by many as "the queen of sativas," and rightly so.

History of the Kali Mist strain from Serious Seeds

Renowned cannabis author Mel Frank suggested in 1996 that Kali Mist likely originated in Southeast Asia, arriving in Oakland, USA, in the early 80s as a seed. It clearly shares traits with Cambodian plants, and Simon, the creator of Serious Seeds, believes that several American growers were already working with these strains without developing seeds from them.

To improve production and reduce flowering time without sacrificing the potent effect, Simon decided to introduce Afghan indica genetics into Kali Mist, which significantly increased bud density and shortened the flowering period.

Kali Mist today

Dutch authorities dismantled the Serious Seeds facilities, confiscating and destroying all male Kali Mist specimens. Fortunately, Simon had preserved genetics almost identical to the original.

After a year without Kali Mist seeds, Simon developed a new genetic profile, refreshing the sativa genes of the original plant with a third parent to achieve a lasting and almost pure sativa version. This decision was rewarded by winning the sativa category at the HTCC 2000.

Taste and aroma of Kali Mist

Regarding its taste and aroma, it stands out for its complex profile with nuances of fresh pine, deep incense, and Provencal herbs, all on a very clear Haze base that captivates from the first puff.

Effects of Kali Mist

Kali Mist is a sativa that leaves its mark. Its effect is very lucid and stimulating, ideal for keeping the mind active, boosting mood, and facing the day with energy and good humor. It's perfect if you're feeling down, need inspiration, or simply want to clear your head without feeling heavy or muddled. Additionally, many women value it for its ability to alleviate menstrual pain, as well as other types of chronic pain or muscle discomfort.

Other notable uses and benefits of Kali Mist

• It can help mitigate back pain and abdominal cramps.
• It promotes creativity and concentration, without sedation or mental fogginess.
• Its antidepressant effect can be useful in cases of low mood or prolonged stress.

How to grow Kali Mist indoors

Indoors, the flowering of this strain extends up to 90 days, so between growth and flowering, it's advisable to calculate about 4 months per harvest. During flowering, dense clusters of buds form throughout the plant, not very compact but bursting with resin and with a very intense spicy aroma that invites early harvesting. Its structure makes it perfect for applying the SCRoG method, ideal if you have limited space and want to control its height. With this technique, you can easily achieve yields of up to 300 g/m² with about 9 plants.

How to grow Kali Mist outdoors

Outdoors, Kali Mist grows incessantly, very slender and with enormous leaves reminiscent of prehistoric plants. If left to its own devices, it can easily exceed 3 m in height and offer harvests of between 400 and 500 g per plant. It is a very late variety, so you will have to wait until mid to late November to harvest it, but the wait is rewarded. It produces spongy but tremendously resinous buds, with large glands visible to the naked eye, leaving a tempting sticky layer. Thanks to its sativa heritage, it resists humidity and bud rot quite well, a common problem in Spain during autumn.
