Kali Dog
Kali Dog
Also known as: Cali Dog, Cali Dawg
Overview
Kali Dog is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that was created as a cross between OG Kush and Sour Diesel. Originally bred over 20 years ago, this strain showcases the finest American cannabis genetics with its powerful and complex profile. The strain demonstrates a balanced 60% sativa and 40% indica genetic ratio according to most sources, though some classify it as slightly indica-dominant. Kali Dog buds have medium-sized olive green extremely fluffy arrowhead-shaped nugs with fiery orange hairs, dark purple undertones, and an insanely frosty layer of white crystal trichomes. For over 20 years, she's been regarded as one of the best party strains, but is also beloved among medicinal users. The strain combines the euphoric, cerebral effects of its sativa heritage with the relaxing body effects inherited from its indica genetics, making it suitable for both recreational and therapeutic use.

Growing Information
Flowering time is 8-10 weeks with an average of 9 weeks. Indoor yields range from 450-550g/m² under a 600W HPS light. Indoor height ranges from 90-160cm while outdoor plants can reach 175-210cm. Outdoor harvest occurs in late October with yields of 500-650g per plant in optimal conditions. Kali Dog is a heavy feeder that can absorb strong bloom boosters and nutrients, but requires lower humidity levels as it can be at risk of bud rot, mold, or powdery mildew. The strain responds well to cropping and trimming, and growers should not let it grow too tall during vegetative growth as it tends to stretch in the first few weeks of flowering. Difficulty level is intermediate due to humidity sensitivity and stretch characteristics.
