These were germinated from a stock of Serious Seeds Kali Mist which happened to come via freebie with some Haze, NL5, Jack Herer, and a few other strains in an order. I have to say that after seeing this strain in action, it is no doubt one of my top 5 picks. It grows fairly fast and tall, especially after about the 4'th week of veg. Although it is a little (and I do mean only a very little) bushier (wider) than some of the other heavy sativa strains, it is still a much taller growing plant than an indica dominant strain. One of the interesting things that I found to be true is the (vendor's) claim that it produces fewer (fan) leaves than other strains, allowing light to pass through to lower branches. With very minimal (2-3 weeks) LSTing in mid veg, colas ended up forming on the majority of the secondary growing tips comparable to the apical cola. This in turn produced many bushy and full buds. After a 3 week germination indoor under CFLs, all of them were moved outside and have stayed there through harvest (upcoming). This is not a hard strain to grow at all, and produces very respectable results without much intervention. A+ in my book!

what kind of lighting did you use?
High output custom hydroponic CFL germination tray (indoor) for the first 3-4 weeks, then moved outdoors to natural light (about 12-14 cm tall at that time). Literally grew like a weed (no pun intended) as soon as it hit the sunlight.

I'm on my first grow and I'm not in flowering yet, so I wouldn't know for sure.
Yes, the pistils will continue to turn amber (as will the trichs) as the actual harvest date draws near. The trichomes are just now clouding over (about 30-50% are cloudy, the rest are clear). The pics don't show the flowers in a mature harvest state. The cutting that was used to acquire these images was taken from the mother a few weeks early just to test her potency a week or two before the planned harvest (a food/veg dehydrator was used to dry the bud rapidly for quick testing). As mentioned by a few people, they are about 5-10 days (now) from entering their primary harvest window. More pics to come when that date arrives of course :thumbsup:. I hope everyone is having a fantastic season and as much fun as I have been having :jointsmile:...
