I had some White Rhino back in...this would have been 1998 and I still remember it vividly. A guy with a grow house in WA gave me a few grams of it because I listened to him bitch about his wife entrapping him in a meth bust...true story. Anyway, still remember it as some of the most incredible weed ever. It seems that many strains tend to get corrupted over time and lose their shine somehow.
i got a packet of greenhouse white rhino regs in original sealed pack before GH went all fem, i know the WR was great from GH back then
Those are all good points and I can't argue with the environmental factors and user errors you mentioned IF watching in a movie theater, which is something I rarely do for those very reasons. hahahah
You should open pollinate those and distribute accordingly imo!
Do you really think that Kali is still good? I have been wanting it for a while. The long flower time had me intimidated!
I just saw your post, we must have typing at the same time...
That's pleasant news to me considering my kali Mist were purchased around 2010.
possibly it sounds like you got them before things went bad @ SS? if they are the good types then probably crossing them with everything you possibly can maybe the go? also some may say open pollinate them among themselves too, cos it sounds like you have got the last of a very good thing...make the best of it i guess...be a shame to just grow them out then thats the end of that strains genetics forever maybe?That's pleasant news to me considering my kali Mist were purchased around 2010.
but I'm not exactly an advanced grower. Any tips should I decide to crack them?
So what's your best guess on a timeline for when Kali Mist was good, not so good, then good again? I bought a pack around 2000 that was unreal. Best smoke I've ever had. Bought another 2 packs around 2009-2010...which sucked.
A couple of posts back was the first I heard of this problem. I'd love to know the answer myself. That's to long a flowering period to not know its the real deal.
...im only going on the timeline whats been offered here by various growers, one grower(homebrewer) here states his were good around 4-5yrs ago...then another(flash63) who very recently grew some out said his was lame....so if yours were crap 5yrs ago ive no explanation...like i said with my ak47 beans...probably going to end up being a quick nibble for some parrots?...since there seems a lot of negative with recent SS gear & mine being only purchased 1mth ago....may sound wasteful, only 5 beans, lifes too short especially since ive got proven beans worthy of growing..and umm i may have got some details mixed up between kali & ak about actual timelines of good beans...soz
If I possessed Kali mist I'd have to run it! I kept popping my AK and watching the best of each batch go auto on me. But since I had the seeds I kept trying until all 3 packs were gone.Damn dudes I been reading these exact same kind of reports over on breedbay about Serious.
I got a pack of Kali Mist and Ak waiting to run. Not so hyped anymore. The general consensus seems to be no bueno. I'll still run em eventually and just keep em in small in small pots.
Trust me I've always badly wanted to run it but I'm a novice and that flower time scares me and I would be really sad to fuck it up somehow.If I possessed Kali mist I'd have to run it!

Maybe there's some user error in the mix too. Until this thread I hadn't heard a bad word about Kali mist. However I've seen many threads on the auto malfunction. Take it with a grain of salt I'm just one guy but seeing is believing.
Well you could pass them on to someone
---> you pop and sex them ---> keep cuts of each female---> give the plants to a trusted friend to flower. Now you should be able to test it. Then you know which one to use to make FEM S1s. Then you've got female genetics to save of the selected female AND a cut to test drive??
I Just got these from a local medical prop 215 store in San diego. This AK 47 is the strongest plant I've seen . She doubled in 3 days !
