I would like to know if you outdoor growers get the super dense buds. My buds always seem to be more fluffy. The summer time buds I expect to be stretched out. Is this the stain. Is there anything I can do to make my buds denser? Aloha

OH MY GOD, I had those thumbtacked on my bedroom wall! Wasn't that a pictorial guide out of High Times? Too funny.
As far as strains I grew, I mostly grew bagseed. The one that stood out though was this lanky sativa strain which had thin leaves, petite frame, but fatter than fuck colas. I had to tie the tops because they were falling over. It smelled like mango, and the smoke was creeper. It didn't knock you out immediately, but 20 minutes later you were like "fuuuuuuuuck......I'm stonnnnnnnned."
I got the seed from a guy who has been on the police force for decades.

Strain and sunshine seem to be the recipes for me. I had one strain that was supposed to produce choke colas, but it grew in the woods with only 2 hours of direct sunshine, the rest was shade. The buds came out airy and whispy. I remember selling a bag to a friend (about 2 fingers
) and I kept stuffing it to make the weight.

Thanks maligs. Yeah, with the same seed strain, I did an indoor grow with 600w HID, and my buds turned out as hard and heavy as rocks. I can only imagine what 1000w HID would produce. I hit them hard with 18 hours of uninterrupted solid wattage before going 12/12, and it showed.
1000 watts......maybe bumbye.

Outdoor growing is different than indoor right. I know that buds come nice and thick under the lights, bud do they ever get that dense under the sun. I just figure that is how the buds grow in hawaii. Than again I can rarely get enough sun on my plants. This time they getting nine hrs so we will see.

There are advantages to both light sources.
With Mother Nature's sun, you know they are getting 100% of natural spectrum for these plants to flourish, both veg and flowering. The disadvantage is lack of privacy, weather elements, robbers, and bugs. Personally, my babies always look more natural and thrive under the sun.
With HID's, you can manipulate your growth and timing in stealth mode. But you also face other shit, like higher electric bill, power surges and outages, and heat build-up inside the area. And for some reason, my indoor grows always produce twisted leaves, which doesn't kill them, but it looks awkward.
My current grow is both. I put the girls out in the daily sun, and then bring them in when the sun goes down for 24/0 veg period. The results are very very good so far. I will post the outcome when I hemo da girls.
Aloha brudahs and sistahs!!

Aloha Everyone Just got back from my trip. Saw some gardens that would make the best of us cry. Seems most in CA are on blue dream for a strain grown with coco or soils. saw a few hydro gardens Mostly NFT or Aeroponic and went to a few outdoor gardens in north Ca saw how they all just use bat teas and good soil mixes, so I bought a few pallets of stuff for you soil gardeners and I am now selling it buy the lb. Short list- Lime , oyster shell, kelp meal , steamed bone meal, feather meal, water crystals, and all kind of others.
Jamaica was a blast mostly good smoke nothing that screamed out but the hash there was great I meat a guy who made it the the old way by rubbing a bud in your hand. baught a rock size for 10 bucks. most of there stuff was nice if you found the right guy and didnt go for the larger buys. couple of cool things Was when you go to Bob's grave and house they roll you up a fatty as you take the tour. the fish there was a plenty no one was a diver so going there with a 3 prong was easy. boats where only 50$ for the day 5am-1pm and they took you anywhere. lots of lobster and fish all around. saw some huge ganja fields all over just paid a guy 35 bucks to take us on a tour was ok but afte the 2nd one your board all looks nice but filled with seed and not to much of anything else. I would say it was fun but wouldnt go back just to hot and caint realy go anywhere.
Good to be back!!!
Starting up class on wednesdays Again come down maybe we can start a drawing for a prize or a contest let me know I tried to spark a picture one but no one jumped at it.

nope, for me it's strickly for watering. Did I remember to tell you to try and keep the brewing tea away from direct sunlight. The darker the enviornment the better. Also for best results water shortly after brewing. Tea works wonders when applied then.
If you wanna use the tea for veggie, ad alfalfa pellets to mix about one cup to the recipe I gave you. To make a super veggie tea/stew you can ad bat guano to recipe. But I must add at this point to get full benefits from using bat guano. It must be added first with gallon of water, and run it several hours with just bat guano , then ad rest of recipe an bubble it for twenty -four to forty eight hours ,...then....walla super organic tea. I give my girls tea weekly!
you guys notice that 'Green Harvest' is on Kauai today?

They came and barely looked up my valley which is a first. That usually scour every inch. Still it was enough to make me pull my plantsa week ands half early. Bummas
