I would be tripping out more if I lived there, but it is definitely getting very real over there.
Craziness. Puna has had a rough ride so far this year.

Yea, looking for a place to move right now. Gonna need a box truck for the ladies if I find a place to bring them. Various flowering 8-10 footers aren't going to be easy to move.

Here are a few pics from this morning. These are not all mine, but I've been taking care of them. (Multiple legal grows)
My apologies for posting too many of my morning pics if it's frowned upon. The 2 plants in the green house area look pale, but they've been that way the whole grow. (unknown seeds I threw in the pots and did a UB topping...one for 2 and one for 4 tops...although the 4 topper is really a 3) Oh...and they all survived the hurricane too.IMG_20140915_085723.jpg IMG_20140915_085739.jpg IMG_20140915_085755.jpg IMG_20140915_085806.jpg IMG_20140915_085817.jpg IMG_20140915_085835.jpg IMG_20140915_085857.jpg IMG_20140915_085909.jpg IMG_20140915_085923.jpg IMG_20140915_085934.jpg

The Mulanje and Malawi are pure landrace sativas and they smell like basil. These little Kush plants I am growing now smell pretty strongly up close. They are not big enough to stink up the neighborhood.

What can the county guys do about the lava? Do they dig trenches?

No.... No digging or bombing holes or anything to divert it. Making a couple of gravel roads for use if the lava crosses the highway, but they expect it will take hours to get through with 11,000 + people trying to use them. The temporary roads are only expected to be useful for a couple of months or so as they expect the lava to push its way down to the ocean and cover those as well.
Basically, we have to hope another vent opens and the lava flows somewhere else, or get out while you can. Rentals are pretty much all snatched up or outrageously priced, as well as no storage units in Hilo available. A small storage unit was going for $225 in Keaau when I called. Hawaiian Movers are offering wooden crates for $25 a month, but I heard they won't be too accessible for going in and out of them.
The smoke and steam looked amazing this morning though.

Guess we'll see in a week or two what happens with Pahoa and the highway. Either way, we're looking and making plans to move out of the area.

When I got up this morning there wasn't a cloud in the sky...only lava smoke plume.

Keeping these clones vegging during Iselle was hard enough without power. Had to bring them inside and put them under a lamp every night that was plugged into the generator. Two weeks was a pita. Power going to be pau for a long while after this gets here.

Wow bruddah, that is nuts. I know Pahoa well. I used to go to the Subway in that shopping center semi regularly and Malama Market. I've got a bunch of good friends in Pahoa and used to go and spend the day down there and/or Pohoiki at least once a week. I've seen some photos from friends on Facebook, but yours is the craziest one I've seen yet; that just put it the very real category. I hope you can make things work out. That's just blowing my mind.

Good luck out there guys. Gonna take a miracle to stop the flow. Really unfortunate year for the people of Pahoa. Took a drive out there this weekend, pretty nuts seeing all the tree damage from the storm and thats weeks after. My homie in waimea was hired to help cut down the tree's along the kapoho-pohoiki road, he had some video's of them felling some huge fucking beasts.

Don't even recognize that road now. Used to feel like I could drive it with my eyes closed and now I feel like in a strange place. Gonna miss the big tree in the triangle where the road splits... There were huge wild orchids up in that tree that looked awesome when they were in bloom.

Oh well.

@mmjmon What kind of covering do you have for your greenhouse? And how do you like it?

It's just clear plastic. It's become a little opaque being out in the sun though. I don't know the thickness. Bought the whole set up from a guy selling it cheap on craigslist. I like it, but it does get very hot in there. Partially why those 2 plants never stayed very green. (guessing) If both ends were open they'd probably do better, but I try to keep the neighbor from keeping track of how far along the plants are. It's too far back on the property to run a big fan so I'm just going to use that set up til I move or until it falls over.
I wanted it to help prevent mold etc. Mold has ruined a couple of plants before. Since I didn't know what kind of plants they were, I just kept them under there out of the rain. Winter grows will probably do better in there.

I've only recently moved to growing outside, which I also like, so I'm still trying to fine tune it all.

I think ventilation is the key. I keep mine outside in a green house, except for the ones I wanna keep veggin. It's three sided with opaque plastic walls and corrugated clear roof panel. One of the four walls is completely open so I wouldn't have heat issues and wound up having mold issues. I chopped the top half of my liberty haze last nite due to mold starting to take a foothold. My purple cheese auto did the same thing, and my thc bomb is staring to and my plants never get wet. I'm going to have to get a fan in their def

Whoa.... Bummer, sorry to hear that. It's been really hot lately. I better start looking a little closer at my plants since we're growing in sort of similar conditions in the same general area. Thanks for the heads up.
