I am growing some Bhutanese right now so can't comment on the high yet, but I can tell ya the buds come sllloooooowwwwwwwlllllyyy and so far they're so damn scrawny. I keep thinking I should cut my losses and just kill it to use the space for something more productive. I may try again at some point for some novelty smoke, but this experience really makes it clear why people are so big on crossing Sativa's with Indica for shorter flowering periods. I would say unless you have the space, a pure sativa is not the way to go and even then you need the patience of a saint.
Kali Mist(circa 1998) was the only time i have smoked a TRUE 100% Sativa strain, done properly and finished..LOL...
The Kali Mist(circa 1998) before they added indica to beef up the buds and lower flowering times,,,was the best weed I have ever smoked..the only weed to give me trails like i was on acid or shrooms...VERY VERY strong smoke....it took you too another dimension...nothing at all like these kushes that stick you to the couch
peace

I don't know how long Bhutanese takes to flower, but I do know that as agonizing as the wait may be, it's usually well worth it when it comes to Sativas. They tend to plump up at the very end and although slow to flower they often actually produce quite well because all the crazy branches that are going everywhere become tipped with colas.
I guess it really depends just how long its going to take. It's not one of those 20+ week strains is it?
That strain was basically perfect. they should have never added indica.
pretty much the only way to find a pure sativa is to grow it yourself, thats what i had to do.
super concerned my zamaldelica will autoflower.
I just harvested what I believe to be pure sativa that I grew from seeds that I have saved from all the mex-brick I used to get in the 90's and in the early 2000's.

This is the kind of mexi brick buds I get in my hood. so i still get free dank sativa seeds.

Based on that stem alone, I am still interested to see what it can do if grown properly. As it was, I was smart to kill the original since it was never going to produce enough to warrant waiting.

Hi man,
No offense, and no credibility as I've never personally grown or smoked Kali Mist/Western Winds, but I've seen so many photos of it (inc. the pre '98 version) online and it's a bit hard to believe that it's 100% sativa. The plant, leaf and bud structure all look like there's some indica genes in there. This doesn't mean that the high is not ALMOST like a pure asian sativa, but that's what a great hybrid is - keep the sativa high in an easier-to-grow plant.
I've had great sativa highs of mostly-sativa hybrids. 75% and above (sativa x sativa/indica) can bring phenos that have an almost pure sativa high.
I keep repeating "almost" because some pure sativas (like the Haze I'm smoking lately) have an effect which is so clear, yet trippy, that you don't feel like having smoked weed at all, but have taken some other drug like a true psychedelic. It's so easy on the body in low doses that you think you are not getting high, being used to and waiting to "feel" something. And while you don't feel it as weed, it is so moving, touching something deep inside of you. It's purely spiritual. And when you get used to this effect, all other weed feels like a dumb stony drug.
