Kali China

[Common Sense]

I, too, am at the point where there always has to be some KC in stash
While the indoor harvest ist curing, a clone from the same plant ist really loving it outdoors at 48°N. All the bugs (see above) are gone now. She had 3 main branches with 4 tops which I pruned. Now I count 13 tops.

Hola @paisajedehierba makes me very happy to see you growing my beloved Kali China for the first time!
How did she finish ? How would you describe her terpene profile ?

Hola Dubi, she´s almost done. If I count right, first pistils appeared 8 weeks ago tomorrow. Due to grow in the too humid cellar, I had mold in one main bud (relativ humidity around 80% during two days, at the moment between 60 and 65%, temp. round about 27°C). The rest of the plant is healthy. No I´m using extra head mats to lower down humidity. I´m impressed with those resinous buds. The smells are spicy/incense, hardly any fruitiness, slightly creamy.

I have had the pleasure of growing one KC outdoors in 2021. The complete yield was a gift for friend, so I can not speak about it. He reported back that he had enjoyed KC very much. It had a pronounced analgesic effect for him, so that he had to take less or no hard pain medication after a hip operation.

What a difference the bright summer sun creates as compared to the rainy weather or even indoors. I really love this plant. Started feeding her today since she looked hungry after my 7 day absence. Topped with a good handful of worm casting/chicken manure pellets and some fresh potting soil. She did not show the purple stems indoors, from where she came as a clone.

I am feeling special about this Kali China, she’s the queen of the garden at the moment as she stretches and I take care of the kings. 3 mo old in 7 gal living soil with jadam jlf and very light salts waterings

Hola,
my KC fem in her last Days. I know she is not a high yielding Strain but of course I could have done much better. I'm still a noob but I know my mistakes.

She is in 16L, light deprivation since end of June so my plants have to be quiet movable and I don't need big plants either.

That looks very good @regentag . Here is my update at 48°N without light deprivation.
Love the striped stems.


I hope not much longer till flowering



Noticed these brown spots on the leafs. Picture from after the rain this morning.
Would you worry about these?

 

[Mitsuharu]

@Common Sense
If it is not on the whole plant, i would not worry too much.

The plant is already turning yellow but no flowering.... Wish you luck!

 

[Common Sense]

Yeah, the yellowing came when I was away for a week, have started feeding and it seems to have stopped progressing. I am a little hesitant to increase the feeding further. She had too much nitrogen indoors, from where she came as a clone. Indoors she was harvested 2 months ago and the samples have steadily improved since then. A really, really nice effect for sure. Powerful, too. Like the first 2 times I grew her. It would be so interesting to compare the indoors and outdoors result from the same plant.
It's an interesting experience to be high on the same plant that you are sitting next to, watching the little side branches grow.
I did remove the 2 smallest branches and all the 2nd generation side branches that came out of every node up to the 4th or 5th node of each of the remaining 11 branches.

 

[Mitsuharu]

It's a shame!

Maybe using smaller containers next time and/or using cuts hoping that they will flower sooner.

You still can chop her up to cuts and grow them indoors.

 

[Common Sense]

I meant the yellowing stopped progressing with the feeding.
It's all cool. I have a glass full of harvest from her from the indoor grow. The outdoor plant is a clone from the indoor plant already harvested. Even if she does not finish outside, it was nice to have a beautiful green bush on my balcony. We still have about 14h 40 min from sunrise to sunset here, so I am not suprised she isn't flowering, yet.

Nice work! I bet she ends up smelling and tasting absolutely amazing!
Hands down my favorite smells come from KC.

Flowering day number 1 yesterday for my Kali China balcony grow. Finally. She's taken her time and showing a large appetite for nutrients. Have not always been able to match that with my feedings, so we have quite some yellowing on the lower leafs. The heat lately with temps above 30°C in the shade may have also hurt her a bit as she is receiving full sun all day and the concrete tiles on the balcony/terrace get really hot.
The two smaller ones in front are clones from my indoor Zamaldelica, finally finishing reveg and making their first 5 finger leafs. KC is the large plant.

@Common Sense It reminds me of the best KC that I have grown and tried.
A real surprise.

Yeah, the first samples from the indoor grow of the same plant are very promising, indeed. I think I need to try her again soon. Today she got soaked with rain almost the whole day. Just emptied the pot saucer which was filled to the rim with water. Rain has finished now and some really nice days ahead it seems.
At what latitude did you grow her outside?

 

[regentag]

Hola.
Thanks @Common Sense
@Cactus Squatter She's my first KC, the smell is nice and I'm glad I let her go. Her she is now

She went through some heatwaves and partly way to hot night temps in the shed where I am doing light deprivation. So the other day after a tropical night many Trichs went brown and the leaves tips went crispy. I know I should harvest but I love to look at her, she is prettier every day. If the effect is good, KC will be in my garden often I guess!

Grüüüße

Thats a beauty! @moofingaround I think we got the same pheno (china yunnan leaning), large internodes and incense smell on stem rub! Also around 2 and a half months of veg and really hoping she starts to flower soon since she is already well over 2 meters, and end of October we get cold weather and lots of rain. Have a great flowering everyone!!

 

[Consolidated]

I am at 38 N bro
Let's hope that the weather will be on your side.

 

[Common Sense]

Let's hope that the weather will be on your side.

Yes, I am hoping, too. More stigmas are clearly forming, also on the lower budsites. I am hoping for something as beautiful as @regentag 's plant above. What a beauty.
I hope you like the effect. To me, it is true connaisseur cannabis. Confirmed once more yesterday evening

2 month cure smoke report of KC x Outback Haze and KC x Oldschool Haze both from Ace Seeds R&D.

	KC x Outback Haze​	KC x Oldschool Haze​
Aroma	Woody, savory, leathery, livery, incensy, citric, limy, minty	Woody, flowery, savory, incense, grassy, light citrus
Effect	Uplifting, Euphoric, Glowing, Potent, Positive	Trippy, Active, Euphoric, Oldschool/Nostalgic, Positive, almost all in head effects
Other notes	lower yielding but better bag appeal and better flavors	almost 2x yielder

My first impressions on KC x Outback Haze was whoaaaa!!! This is like KC on steroids, with slightly different terps but definitely more potent. Something in the progeny connected for this enhanced experience.

My first impressions on KC x Oldschool Haze, was is this stuff trippy? Cause I'm trippin Very warm, nostalgic, almost no body, oldschool type of high.

Both stands on its own and are equally good. Both will be grown again.

Now I want to try pure Outback haze & Oldschool haze, and I think they both would be a good pair for Panama.

I grew two Kali China plants indoors in 5 gallon living soil pots in my 2x4 tent this summer. Due to some time constraints I flipped as early as possible and went from seed to harvest in 11 weeks. I had two phenos, one shorter and the other taller. The taller one threw some pollen sacs right at flip, but I just removed them and had no issues (the light may have been too close at the time). The shorter yielded 40 grams and the taller around 30.

Both plants have similar aroma and taste, kind of incense and lemon in a way that reminds me of super silver haze. I think the flavor is not very strong, but that is probably because I flowered in July/August, with highs in the 80-85 F range and an average of the low 70's. The high on the shorter plant is a very nice hybrid feel with a slightly energetic start and smooth landing after about 3 hours. The taller plant has a wonderful high, energetic and giddy at first, with visual distortions and a positive, fun vibe.

Overall I found it easy to grow, lower yield and flavor but great quality of high, especially in the taller pheno. I don't think I've had a better high in a plant flowering for only 7-8 weeks. I'll run it again in a cooler season with a longer veg someday.
