Western Winds
Western Winds
Also known as: Kali Mist
Overview
Western Winds is a predominantly sativa cannabis strain bred by Sagarmatha Seeds, known for representing the quintessential Haze experience. Western Winds is described as the true pre-2000 Kali Mist, as Serious Seeds later mixed Kali Mist with indica genetics to reduce flowering time. The strain has a distinguished competition history, having won third place at the Cannabis Cup in 1999 and was also the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup Winner for Best Hydro. The buds feature tapered heart-shaped bright neon green nugs with thick reddish-orange hairs and a coating of frosty white crystal trichomes. Western Winds has been used in several breeding combinations for Sagarmatha, creating many champion varieties. This strain is considered fully stabilized and easy to grow outdoors, though it grows tall like a college basketball player but smokes smoothly.
