I had those bugs too b4. Dunno what they where but I just scraped most of them off the leaf and them sprayed with an insect killing soap with neem oil in it. I used "Safer Brand" insect killing soap. Think Puna Bud had luck with Fox Farm's "Don't Bug Me" spray. Try and few and see what happens.

The other plants you said are flowering look amazing. Especially the first pic as I said in the previous post.

Yep. It is still 12+ hours of darkness everynight.

I have attached the 2009 light cycle for hilo(closest to Puna they had for the big island.)

Go here for One DayLight Times.

Go here for Year tablelight times.

Check out the txt file attached to figure out the next few lines.

So here January 7th tomorrow. You have -
0657 1757

0657 - Being the time the sun rises.
1757 - Being the time the sun sets

So 1757 in standard military time being 5:57 p.m.

So from 5:57 p.m. there is 13 hours of Darkness and 11 hours of daylight. So your girls can continue to flower as long as there is essentially 12+ hours of darkness.

But being outdoors these figures are exact and natural forces and varying factors also must be taken into account. This is just a rough run down.

Then we skip over to March it is -

0630 1830
0630 - rise
1830 - set

So the sun sets at 630 and rises at 630. This being a 12/12 hour light cycle.
From there the amount of daylight increases as summer comes and the amount of night decreases so the
chemical that induces flowering is suppressed by the sunlight light until the cycle continues again and there is longer nights and shorter days (winter).

I think I got that right. lol :weed::shock:

If I didn't feel free to correct me. Hope that helps some people.

Sounds good to me:leaf:...so if it takes like 4 weeks or so to veg and say 9-11 weeks to flower then harvest should be around april. give or take a couple weeks. .. perfect! .. It rolls right into the start of the long season!:-P

It's normal because where I live I can have plants year round. Always sunny and all I have to do is make sure they have water. I love HAWAII!!!!!!

I got some bottles that had tomato sauce in that I want to reuse. What can I wash it out with to get rid of the smell? Regular dish soap isn't working. Any suggestions?

jusrushhfc your plants will end up 5 inch sexed then flower for about 5 weeks then switch back to veg state. it will be a very bushy plant with all kine branches coming from every where. i had this happen to me a few years back. its crazy i had to tie her down and tie out all the branches just to get light all over the plant and when it was almost half way to harvest it got stolen!

you shuld put the seed in the ground at about feb 21st in my calculations and it will germ for about a week (28th) and brake ground about then, then it will veg for 2 weeks and still be to young for flowering then at that time (march 14th) the day/night ratio will be at 12/12 and changing to longer days that way you make use of the whole long season!!! awww right! you might even get a early sex on some plants and what shows first???.......... das right males chopedy chop chop! then right back into veg with out to much stress...

Aloha, Mahalo jusrushfc for your help with that prob I was having. It turned out to be aphids, and maybe more? But because I'm almost a month into flowering, I think that I'll just try the mild hand soap and water to do the trick. Here are my two bagseed girls. Gotta love a place that you can grow year round.

The glass isn't your problem cuz regular dish soap will clean that fine .. the cap is whats holding all the odor... jus scrub dat sucka real good!:-P

What are you gonna use it for curing?.. I say don't worry too much.. da weed odor is so strong that it will probably overtake it anyway...

worst case scenario your buds end up tasting like ragu but i doubt it. ;):weed:

Have you grown Silver haze before? I just started mine on 12/12 and hear they get huge....a nice problem to have but sometimes "inconvenient"
Click to expand...
No this is my first time with the Haze. And yes they do get big. I topped two of mine, to keep them low and tied two down as far as I could.They got to 4ft and I knew I had to do something.And that was outdoor from seed,and they just started flowering at 4ft!
