Nepal Mist
Also known as: Nepalese Mist
Nepal Mist Strain Overview
Nepal Mist is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from the Himalayan foothills of Nepal. This heirloom variety has been cultivated by local farmers for generations, adapted to the high-altitude conditions of its native region. The strain gained international recognition in the 1990s when Western breeders and enthusiasts began collecting and preserving these unique genetics. As a true landrace, Nepal Mist represents a relatively unadulterated genetic lineage that has evolved naturally in its specific geographical environment.
The plant is characterized by tall, slender stature with long, narrow leaves typical of pure sativas. The buds are airy and elongated with a light green coloration, often displaying orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The flowering structure is loose and wispy rather than dense, which helps prevent mold in its native humid mountain climate. The strain is known for its vigorous growth and resilience, having adapted to the challenging conditions of the Nepalese highlands.
Nepal Mist is particularly valued by breeders and connoisseurs for its pure genetic profile and distinctive effects. The strain has been used extensively in breeding programs to introduce sativa-dominant traits and Himalayan genetics into hybrid varieties. Its preservation is considered important for maintaining genetic diversity within the cannabis gene pool, as pure landrace strains become increasingly rare due to hybridization and globalization of cannabis cultivation.

Nepal Mist Strain Growing Information
Nepal Mist is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, particularly for indoor growers. The plants can reach heights of 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) outdoors and require significant vertical space indoors. Flowering time is long for a pure sativa, typically 12-14 weeks. Outdoor plants are ready for harvest in late October to early November in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a warm, sunny climate similar to its native Himalayan foothills and can tolerate cooler temperatures better than many tropical sativas. Yield is moderate, with outdoor plants producing 400-600 grams per plant. Indoor yields are typically lower due to height constraints. The plants require good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. Training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) are recommended for indoor cultivation to manage height. The strain is resistant to most common pests and molds due to its landrace heritage.
