Not so easy to grow, but with a good soil and pH t grows well.
When you pass 12/12 it starts to stretch and can easily grow for the 1st 30 days 1 metre.
Don't give it any potting or FIM, the principal bud is spectacular...

Hey Stoners, I'm a 50 yr old hippie with my very first indoor CFL grow. This site is a wealth of info - but I've been reading soooo much - I think I've confused myself (or it could be the in-between hits). Anyway, I got some seeds from a friend who claimed they were Kali-mist/blueberry strain (a mix?). I started them April 1, and they are now in their 71 day of veg. 2 of them are VERY healthy and stand at about 33 inches and have 11 petal leaves (is this common in KM strains?). The 3rd plant, I wasn't sure it was gonna even make it - but is now about the same as the other 2 - but has a slightly different color leaf, and leaf structure (the serrations on the leaf are different).
I had planned on going 90 days veg - then start flowering - but, I just read something about the growth rate during flowering could be 300%! - does this mean in height also? If so, I'd better change the lighting now - they'll be bustin' outta the closet! LOL
...AND...when is the best time to clone? before or after sexing?...and then, do you veg the clone or let it keep flowering?
Thanks for any help! And here's a pic of "Samson & Delilah". P.S. I was given 1 seed tonight that is supposed to be "White Widow"....if the stickyness of the baggie is any indication of potency - then it'll be good, cause the baggie is like it had honey in it!

Rams, you've vegged for 72 days!! WHOA!! Those KM's are going to skyrocket when you switch to 12/12. I surely hope you have the verticle space as they will reach for the skys.....they can triple their size during flowering (yes 300%) and its all height. I flowerd my KM's last year for like 110 days (I think) so be ready for a looooooong flowering time. You will not be dissappointed AT ALL. KM has got to be some of the best smoke I have ever had and I am almost as old as you.
WW is another bad ass strain, if you start it now, it will probably finish up with the KM's.

hey, was just wondering if you know what genetics make up the silver surfer. I got it as a clone in Mendo, 2003, and always thought it was a silver haze? And in oyur opinion , which one is better, Kalimist or S surfer? thanks.

Depends on your pheno, and if you supplement with Co2. The phenotype that I chose as a mother finishes up around 13 to 14 weeks. It might look "done" sooner than that, but the extra couple weeks are worth it. The high becomes even more intense if you give it that time to finish.
I veg mine for around 4 weeks from rooted clone ..... they are usually around 12-16 inches when flipped to flower. I use a tomato cage in flowering and start tying it down around week 4 of flower. It would end up too tall for my setup if I didn't tie it down.
It is hands down my favorite smoke. Hopefully you got a keeper! Good luck.

Wow, can't believe my original post turned so many on to Kali Mist! It's still the best high in my stable, although the Jilly Bean Orange Poop pheno is now my all-time favorite (which says a LOT).
Just an FYI, I normally only flower 77 days (11 weeks). I've never run it over 84 days, I can't imagine going 15, 16 or even 17 weeks! Owww! I would agree that many would say I harvest too early I don't really go by the trichome color, I go by the breeder recommendation. Plus, my yields are on par with most of my other strains, so I don't think I'm giving up much quantity. Being such a sativa-dominant plant I'm not surprised it could go on and on without ever really showing classic signs of ripening, or perhaps I have a different pheno that ripens early? I'm not sure. I do have a package of Western Winds from Sagarmatha, which are supposed to be same thing, but have the original parents, see how they compare.
And maybe someday I'll try running mine another month longer and see if it's worth it. Keep growing, cheers!

LMMFAO!!! So here goes...
Went to the DAM this past summer and was the first time in 13 trips that I could smoke. The first 12 trips were in the ARMY, and I was ALWAYS the one to get "randomly" tested, so I was so damn paranoid about smoking there I'd just bang a bag of boomers and call it a night.
So the wife and I are on our first day there, several steps outside Centraal Station, and I remember The Grasshopper Coffeeshop, literally on the main drag into Amsterdam where I took my brother for New Years 2002. She doesn't smoke, but knew the importance of getting me set up before we site-see, so went straight there. Head downstairs at about 11 AM, not many people there yet, and I see Kali Mist at the top of the menu.
Now, a little backstory on this, I drove my mother to Toronto in 2008 specifically for this strain. She's a strictly sativa woman, and this was to be the first ever strain that I grew, and it was to be a bonding experience with her as I'd been away for about 7 years, and never shared the love of the plant with her, though she'd been growing for 20 years. We get to Toronto after a 7 hour drive only to find out they're sold out... PFFFT!! Screw Ontario Seed Bank!
So here I am, day 1 in the DAM and Kali Mist is staring at me. I immediately over-pay for it @ 30 euros for a gram... yes... THAT much... Proceed to try to roll a spliff, but having some trouble as we don't have king papers and roach filters here in the NE, but I will do as the locals do, and struggle through a somewhat respectable roll job.
Rip down about half a j and the wife is getting to the end of her tolerance so I decide to put it out, and take the rest with me as I REALLY don't need to smoke the whole gram by myself even though my tolerance is pretty high from smoking my own jank at home. Here's where shit gets real man...
She wants to go to the Anne Frank house... yes, where all the Holocaust shit went down, THAT Anne Frank house. Sigh... ok wifey, I'll go with you
Get there and the line is like 300 people long. For the next 45 minutes I get to hear about how bad I smell like marijuana with this half a j in my pocket, so I ditch it before we walk in.
Feel like I'm on goddamn cocaine in this quiet ass museum tour with all these people staring at me (obviously not a lot of potheads go check out the ACTUAL history of the city while they're there) for the next hour or so. Holy shit son! Too much for me to handle! This shit had me walking above my shoes man!
THAT being said, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this strain and the high I got off of it, unfortunately I experienced it in the WRONG atmosphere. I'd imagine the price was derived from 2 things: The length of flowering time and ability to handle the height of the plant, and the fact that it was RIGHT on the main drag of Amsterdam as the shops off the beaten path were much more reasonable on their prices.
I WILL tackle this strain again soon. I've got several years of growing under my belt, and feel I can control the plant enough to see it all the way through to finish despite my 4.5' height limit. The length of flowering time is absolutely no concern to me for the quality and type of high this delivers. I will try to find the same in a more manageable plant with shorter flowering time, but this certainly is one to re-visit! HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!!

I can't add anything that hasn't already been said. Kali Mist is a fantastic sativa that is motivating, clear and euphoric. Mine goes 100 days and is always in my personal stash. I love variety but I also love my Kali.
