Kali China by Ace Seeds is the result of more than a decade of work selecting and stabilizing the cross between Kali Mist —the mythical Dutch Sativa with a clean and active effect— and the China Yunnan, the stabilized indica from the Yunnan region of China. With a unique genotype of moderate genetic variability - confirmed by genetic analysis - this variety of 75% Indica offers the best of both worlds: the fast flowering and resistance of the Asian indica with the clean, sativa effect of Kali Mist . Available in several phenotype lines, it produces plants with the spectacular purple color inherited from China Yunnan and an aromatic profile of the highest quality.

Plant morphology. Kali China grows compact and columnar, with medium-distance internodes, numerous lateral branches and a shape reminiscent of a Christmas tree. Indoors it reaches between 60-100cm; Outdoors it can grow up to 1.5-2 meters. Its flowering is very short: only 8-9 weeks, with outdoor harvest at the end of September or beginning of October. The purple phenotypes show their colors especially when the temperature drops in the last weeks, while the green phenotypes are somewhat more productive and flower slightly shorter.

Appearance of the flower. The buds of Kali China are large, closed and very resinous, with an excellent flower/leaf ratio for its Asian heritage. Its aromatic profile is one of the most complex and refined in the Ace Seeds catalogue: Mango mature, incense, oriental spices, sweet cream and hashish, with notes of Violeta in the purple phenotypes. The effect when consumed is euphoric and clean, with a very pleasant initial sativa expression that gives way to a progressive and meditative physical relaxation — surprising for such a short flowering variety.

Cultivation tips

• What is the ideal climate to grow Kali China ? prefer warm and sunny climates, although it can be grown up to 47ºN outdoors. To enhance purple colorations, it is recommended to lower the temperature to 20°C in the last weeks of flowering, which activates the anthocyanins of the purple phenotype inherited from China Yunnan.
• What training techniques work best with Kali China ? Its columnar structure makes it ideal for techniques SOG, with up to 16 plants per square meter in 7-liter pots. It also responds well to SCROG. Ace Seeds recommends maintaining temperatures of 25°C during growth and the first 4 weeks of flowering to optimize production.
• What type of fertilization does Kali China need? It is recommended a moderate fertilization throughout the cycle. It is a variety very suitable for breeding projects with other long-flowering sativas, to which it contributes its speed, compactness and aromatic profile without lengthening the flowering cycle.
• What should the irrigation and humidity be like for Kali China ? Irrigation regular and moderate. Its medium resistance to powdery mildew and high resistance to botrytis makes it safer than many indicas in conditions of variable humidity. Tutoring the branches well is important given the volume of buds it can produce.
• Is it necessary to prune the Kali China plant? A moderate defoliation in the second week of flowering to improve basal ventilation, together with the firm staking of the lateral branches that will support the weight of the buds, is enough to obtain the best results.
