Kalichakra is named after the Indian goddess Kali (a consort of the ganja smoking Lord Shiva) and combines unique landrace genetics from South India and the Golden Triangle. Unlike typical sativas she grows extremely well indoor and has been known to perform satisfactorily even under low light. She is surprisingly adaptable, easy to grow, and a good choice for novice gardeners. Mother plants provide abundant clones. The cuttings can be placed into flowering early for cultivating shorter plants on a hydroponics table, a Homebox, etc., or to decrease flowering time. In hydroponics rapid growth can be expected and with CO2 enhancement in the air you can harvest huge bumper crops (adjust the EC of your nutrient solution to a higher level when using CO2). Kalichakra responds well to being tied down and can grow an impressively large main cola from the even light distribution. However, due to the airy growth pattern light passes through to all flowering shoots. Therefore you don't have to tie down the plant unless you unexpectedly run into problems with height or have a very poor light source. We recommend this strain for SCROG and nearly all plants can be easily fitted into a SOG (sea of green) style grow despite the branchy growth. Due to the low odour this is a good choice as a "stealth strain" for discreet cultivation. Kalichakra grows fat conical shaped buds that usually peak in towers of calyxes. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is exceptionally good and makes harvesting very quick and simple. The phenotype with the long head bud dominating the plant is a "keeper" (good choice as mother plant or breeding) for highest yields. With 4 weeks vegetative growth indoor under 400W HPS/m2 in quality soil the height of the plants averages between 100-120cm. More than half tend to grow around the 100cm mark. Plant height can be easily controlled by choosing a shorter vegetative time or pruning the top bud. The plants grow in a typical sativa style with a christmas tree shape and medium to long internodes. Some may need support towards the end of flowering to support the heavy buds if the plant has not been pruned or is not standing in close rows in a SOG setting. To maximize yield and strengthen upper branches it can be useful to remove the branches at the bottom 2-3 internodes on plants from seed before switching to the 12/12 light cycle. Although you can harvest after 68 days some plants from seed may still develop fatter buds for an extra week (clones tend to finish earlier). You can reduce the light cycle by an hour prior to harvest to speed up flowering if you are in a hurry. This sativa has good mold resistance thanks to our dedicated breeding goals in minimizing undesirable genetic traits.
Strain FAQ
Why can some cannabis strains resist mildew in humid conditions?
Mold-resistant strains have evolved in damp locations. This genetic adaptation improves what is known as foliar air circulation. This trait adds mould and mildew resistance and assists plants to survive fungal infections.
What terpenes give cannabis its minty taste?
Several terpenes give a minty flavour. Though menthol isn't a frequent cannabis terpene, chemicals like pulegone, with its minty scent, and eucalyptol, with its freshness, play important roles. Limonene and pinene finish the minty scent with a clean, fresh note.
What's special about strains that finish in mid-October?
Short-season locales benefit from strains that flower by mid-October. As winter approaches, they are already finished, avoiding the risk of frost, mould, and pest damage.
Are regular seeds a good sustainable choice?
Regular seeds are wonderful because they can produce a cycle of male and female plants that can be passed down through the generations without the need to constantly buy fresh seeds.
What helps tall cannabis strains survive in different climates?
Their exceptional height and structural design let them adapt to temperate and tropical regions. Tall strains are reportedly ideal for sunny outdoor spots since they absorb the most sunlight.
