Growing Tips for Cali Kush

Cali Kush is one of the most popular cannabis cultivars on the planet, and one of the main reasons is because of how easy it is to grow, even for amateur growers. Cali Kush marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the grower's ability to manage the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will need to replicate a steady environment with warm temperatures and consistent light — conditions that mimic a long, sunny summer. Cali Kush seeds produce plants that are dark green and buds that are covered in resin. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to harvest. Doing so will ensure that you grow potent and pungent buds from the top of the plants to the bottom. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the ideal outdoor climate they require without having to contend with unexpected outdoor variables — particularly useful in Canada's variable growing seasons. These plants grow short and can reach around 90–120 centimetres in height. Because the plants reach a maximum height of approximately 120 centimetres, they can be grown in smaller grow areas like balconies or closets. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 20–27 degrees Celsius. Humidity levels should be kept at 35–50% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage. Growing indoors will ensure that moderate humidity levels and higher temperatures are constant and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Low-stress training (LST) and high-stress training (HST) methods are the best techniques for this strain. These methods require a bit of prior experience to be performed correctly, but if they are, they will result in increased yields come harvest time. The Cali Kush strain requires an 18–20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. To induce the flowering stage, growers will need to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle. This change will ultimately lead to the harvest stage.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Cali Kush strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50–60 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 500 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. These yields are fantastic when you consider the short flowering period and ease of growth.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers in Canada can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted and local climate conditions.

Cali Kush: Potent and Popular

The Cali Kush terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant - This terpene is known for having a spicy and peppery taste and aroma. It can also be found in black pepper and cinnamon.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene - Known as the "Mother of all terpenes", myrcene gives cannabis its earthy and aromatic profile.
• Limonene: Citrus Smell and Taste- Limonene is commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits and can help with anxiety and improve lung function.
