Bud Density 7/10:
Bud Appearance Comments: Nice big dense colas with good quality secondary colas, small amount of popcorn bud which was discarded. The bud sites have been allowed to develop fully by harvesting the parts of the plant that were ready and leaving less developed sites a few days longer.

Grindability 7/10: I like to smoke this when it is just ready and no more so at 1st it reduces in the grinder but after a little more drying it will really start to fluff up. thats where i leave it but many people would rather dry it a little more.
Smell in veg 5.5/10: Typical pungent veg aroma of cannabis but nothing out of the ordinary
Smell in flower 6.5/10: Quite well behaved in flower, usual rules apply near the end, the less you handle them the less odour is emitted but nothing a decent CF cant handle
Smell after curing 10/10: This is where Kali starts to pick up the pace...She is the most heavily, dank, cannabis smell, no hiding the intention that this is potent
Smell of smoke 5/10: Smoke smells like smoke to me cant help out on this point! sorry
Taste 7/10: Im not a massive one for taste neither but it is as pleasant as the next spliff
The High 10/10: This is why I have smoked Kali for 12 years as my favourite weapon of choice. Its not too smelly so you can take it out with you but it really does wreak when its ground up. it releases a bitter-sweet resinous aroma that clings to your sinuses and throat.
To give you an idea I smoke about an Oz a week. Primarily Kali with the odd bit of weed from mates etc. So i like Kali because it fits nearly all my requirements. I can take it to watch a football match and feel a nice outdoors kind of high without even realising im on it. The other extreme is getting home and then building a phat one and just let it take you away, it will completely space you out and put you in the Repeat yourself / forget what your saying / nailed to the floor kinda place.
If you haven't smoked much then it will give you munchies but it does not effect me in that way.
It is said that it is very effective at relieving period pains but I am unable to confirm this personally.
I know when I go to festivals then Kali is always the most popular weed that we smoke amongst our selfs and my mates always rave on about it.
Length of buzz 8/10: Again I have been smoking too long to assess this accurately for other smokers but its up there for durability maybe not as crazy as 1 or 2 strains about today but she will hold her own
Good comments: All of the above should indicate that Kali is a great smoke for anyone to grow or smoke if you get chance. The plants are really sturdy and I have never had a hermie or disease with them.
Bad Comments: Cant think of anything bad other then perhaps they stretch a little more then id like but i could solve that if i wanted to in my system of growing but it should be born in mind for anyone with limited growing height.
