Kalimpong
What is the Kalimpong strain?
Kalimpong is a sativa cannabis strain, known for its focused effects and floral and fruity flavor profile.
Kalimpong is a pure 100% sativa landrace strain originating from the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India, specifically collected from the hill station of Kalimpong at an elevation of 800 meters. This rare landrace variety represents authentic Indian genetics that have developed naturally in a subtropical highland climate characterized by monsoon-influenced temperate oceanic conditions. The region receives heavy rainfall during warm months with temperatures not exceeding 30°C, while the coldest months remain relatively dry without snowfall. Kalimpong plants are exceptionally vigorous and can reach heights of up to 3 meters in natural outdoor environments, exhibiting remarkable structural integrity that allows them to support massive yields even in windy conditions. The strain features very small seeds and shows strong resistance to both drought and mold, making it valuable for breeding purposes. The buds display a poor leaf-to-bract ratio but compensate with their distinctive aromatic profile. This landrace requires patience, with a vegetative period of 15-18 weeks and flowering time of 12-16 weeks, typically harvested in December. The strain requires a minimum of 6 months curing time to fully express its complex characteristics.
