At least the temperatures there don't sound too bad. 20's is cold, but not crazy. Long spells of rain can get old pretty quick I know though. How long ago was the hurricane? It seems like it was a while ago yeah? Like a couple months ago or so?

Right on, your plants are looking good in that pic!
I saw in your sig you're running Strawberry Cough. I've got Strawberry Cough x (GG#4 x Stardawg) vegging ATM. The cross was made by trichome.fields.forever and selected by maui_mahiai on IG. I've got a couple different Pog x (GG#4 x Stardawg) plants made and selected by the same guys too. I'm excited to see how they turn out.

Four months today.
This is the view from my back roof {which will be replaced soon I hope} We priced getting a couple of acres cleared so we have room to put in a couple of sheds. $4K, so I guess I'll get started with the saw and tractor.
nice yea my dad is trying to breed my blue widow i had 3 but gave him 1 to seed think he seeded it with GG think #1 not sure then he's going to grow those and seed it with mango cream. so far im just trying to learn to grow will eventually get into cloning and more outdoor growing in the future and seeding as well. the blue widows look okay better then my first grow but i got higher hopes on my strawberries. if i could supplement lighting outside without any issues it would be better and no damn aphids but that ain't ever happening anytime soon.
what you guys think of this? https://www.khon2.com/news/local-news/hawaii-senate-judiciary-committee-unanimously-approves-marijuanalegalization-bill/1763218030?fbclid=IwAR2czirbqr8-mMrxXaC8X9PMYgcP2Xwuw7izWDkx_4W3mkjC-MQTuoysDyw
all my friends i talked to that grow be like 1/2oz? lmfao.. i mean i seen it coming but idk if they even will go through with it or just drag it in the dirt waiting for more states to legalize. wonder if this means they will legalize growing recreationally as well or if that will still be illegal to force people to buy and renew their cards and purchase from dispenseries only. no talk about that from what i seen so far

I read some of the bill briefly and it didnt look too bad, but keep in mind there is still plenty of time for amendments and revisions.
As it is written now, Everyone would get to grow 6 plants but they want to go backwards and start doing the 3 mature plants/3 unmature plants like before. No mention if they would be doing away with the medical program, I hope thats not the case.
People really need to start reading these things before they start supporting them...there are alot of dumbasses drafting up idiotic legislation this year (like banning porn and raising the age to buy tobacco to 100 years old, and fluoridating our water to name a few).

yea i read the porn and tobacco stuff it's dumb. although tobacco is unhealthy in general even compared to alcohol it still brings the state a lot of money im sure just from the taxes.
6 plants only? that is pretty damn weak. better then nothing i guess for people who don't grow medical. damn if my mom renews her medical we could grow a small farm over here lmfao

Currently medical dispensaries in 808 are by law a vertical operation. They may only buy products from their own facilities and those production facilities as well may only buy bud product from dipensary owned grow facilities. The current bill 686 was written by Senator English and it was written so that the Hawaiian public could drop $5,000 for a grow license, or $5,000 for a production facility license (make consumables) or 5,000 to have a dispensary license. The bill was amended by Karl Rhoades committee chair to limit some or all licensing to existing dispensary license holders only. We are waiting for clarification on the wording and intent of the amendment as the bill has not been presented yet with the amendments.
1) When the federal gov still has cannabis listed as schedule 1 is NOT the correct time to legalize. Why? Because that status makes cannabis a special plant in the manner that the local government can mimic the federal government in making people believe it needs to be highly controlled. It’s contrived on both parts. It may be better to wait until it is no longer federally illegal to possess cannabis so the construct is that cannabis is just another plant.
2) Maybe we should demand to free Hawaiia’s people that are jailed right now for petty cannabis crimes and send them back to their families BEFORE anyone celebrates a toke of legal weed. The promise of pardons and expungement should not be held as a bargaining chip. Laying down the laws for where and how we can freely smoke should be decoupled from legislation that fights for the serious injustice of those incarcerated now.
3) It is a long process but let’s proceed carefully as their are biiiiillions at stake

The original wording of SB686 Intends no change to the current medical system.

Yes, but if you are familiar with "Gut and Replace" legislature, the entire bill can be stripped of its original content and changed without giving anybody time to review it or provide feedback. Our own legislators have been guilty of this in the past....and with jackasses like Karl Rhoades, that wants to put fluoride in everyones water, I would not be surprised if this happened. They will be trying to protect dispensary license holders that have spent lots on licensing fees and facilities and havent been operational long enough to make a decent profit.

That's nuts on how the hurricane took all that down, but I'd say $4K to clear a couple acres is a steal. I'd guess it wouldn't cost less than $15K here for the same thing. That's just a guess, but I bet I'm not far off. What kind of tree is that pine there? We've got a similar looking one here.

Cloning is easy for the most part. Don't let it intimidate you. Also, you can make an essential oil spray like Trifecta Crop Control and spray once a week and that'll help keep aphids at bay. Also if you don't care, put out ant poison or something around your plants. Ants are usually the main culprits for aphids. They farm them to eat their sucrose filled poop.

Hey Zbart, welcome! There's tons of good info in this thread. oldhaole's threads on icmag.com are good too. If his first two threads are still up on cannabis.com those were gold; so much seriously good info, but they are probably gone. If you have specific questions feel free to ask. There's a good chance somebody know what's up.

That is not a bad price, and for the time savings, it would be worth it. But I'm going to do what I can, and see what happens. We need to get a spot cleared for sheds and a pole barn. Not having any storage makes it hard to clean up. No where to put anything.
That is Longleaf pine. We took about 30 acres in total out of rowcrops and got it on a Longleaf conservation program 19 years ago. That behind the house is 20 acres. I started yesterday with the chainsaw, cutting the trees that are broke. Worked a couple of hours yesterday, maybe a little less today. When I get some space I'll drag and make a burn pile. Sister has a new tractor with a grapple, but I don't like to borrow machinery. So for now I'll use my old tractor with the hay forks and logging chain.
the problem is our entire garden is infested but it's not my house/garden it's my grandpa's and he is super stubborn when i used to grow when i was little like 1 plant in a container he throw it in the trash lmfao.
