Big Buddha Seeds
Kali, the dark and fierce Hindu goddess, is a powerful force,
bringing change. In the yin-yang of Eastern cultures, this
goddess is both destructive and creative, nurturing and
protecting her children, but also defending them with violent
ferocity. In Tantric beliefs, Kali is a dominating force, foremost
among the goddesses. Her name in Tantra expands to also
mean the original form of all things, or ultimate reality. Kali is
usually portrayed as a many-armed dark-skinned blue or black
goddess with glittering eyes and a fearsome extended tongue.
The strain known as “The Kali” originates from the
Afghani/Pakistani border. It is a landrace OG Kush that was
selfed with a reversed Kali clone father taken from seeds
whose male was responsible for the original backcross that led
to the Cup-winning Big Buddha Cheese. Kali is from old-school
indica parents, the real hashmaking deal from the home of
ancient hashmaking tradition, an area that has selected for
hash excellence among its plants over generations upon
generations.
The Kali is a dark fierce-growing indica that has thin dark
green leaflets and very little but very sturdy branching,
especially for such an indica-influenced plant. She likes
moderate to heavy feeding and will do well in any substrate
from soil or coco to hydro. The Kali is not a large plant, usually
entering flower at 2 feet (70 cm) and finishing between 4–6 feet
(1.3–2 meters). The Kali stands up well to heat or cold and is
good for growers at all levels of experience. The yields on this
plant are good indoors or out, with each plant easily delivering
a kilogram (2.2 pounds) if treated with respect. The buds are
conical and as resinous as you’d expect from a hash-derived
variety.
The Kali has a dark hash smell in the garden and throws out
buds like fat feathered goddess tongues. The buds glisten with
rich layers of THC, the dense ambrosia of this goddess plant.
Kali is an obvious choice for hashmaking. Cured buds will also
have a very hashish-like flavor and aroma, dense and smooth,
with a unique, earthy citrus-kush richness. This is slow
trajectory pot, with a flow of euphoria and creeper body
stoniness. The Kali is the manifestation of Kundalini energy,
which is one’s dormant energy force that lies at the base of the
spine and, when awoken, restores vitality. Kali brings
awakening in her dark tasty form, and her delights will make
her a savored addition to any collection.
