I buy the soil by the ton at the local quarrie. They mix red and black cinder with old cane dirt. Great drainage! I screen soil before I put in box. I built boxes that are 4ft by 30 in by 30 in high about 140 gal. Put 4in of black cinder in bottom for drainage. The seeds were started outside no lights. These are in my backyard and get sun from 6 to 6 wide open. I mixed blood,bone,azmite,etc in the dirt. I toppeddressed with 8-8-8+ and used some liquid bloom at the end. She was never topped and this is the morning sun coming through. Love the natural look at 10 ft 6 in

Oh man I love a big tree like that.

great idea with the box, I think ill try this instead of digging a hole, or maybe go 50/50, dig a hole with a box on top.

Is the old cane dirt just like red dirt? Clay-like with little or no organic matter?

Are those trichs or hairs, the resin glands are huge! Imagine when it starts to amber, what strain is that?

Nice pictures cooter, really nice brah!I'm thinking about ordering some new strains. What are some good strains for winter grow here? Are there any that turn colors, like red or purple? Should I order feminized seeds and who is a good source? Last time I used kindseed dot com. They shipped fast and discret, just looking for other ideas. Aloha and mahalo!

Wassup braddahs, shot, today I found some small bugs on the underside of some fan leaves. I notice that they leave a black spot behind where ever they go. Anyone know what they are and how I can get rid of them. Small, really small, green with what looks like a small dark spot on their back. Will try post pics laters. Shoot Hawaiians, Lmk if u guys get one suggestion. Aloooojahz.

where's the best deal for worm castings right now on oahu?

There's worm casting kits on craigslist for $20 on Oahu. You don't need very many worms to start. They'll multiply with however much food you give them. You can keep them in your house or outside and just throw your plant matter scraps in there. DIY and you won't have to look around to buy worm castings anymore. Just a thought.

Do you get much attention from Green Harvest with plants like that? I know they're looking for bigger grows numbers wise, but you never know if they're having a slow day. When I was over there those guys would literally fly over my property at 30-50ft. No Joke. And I never had anything as big as that. I was always under 24 plants and most of them GH wouldn't have seen, but it always made me nervous anyway. Like I said, they can be unpredictable if they're having a slow day. My wife would've been really huhu if she had to deal with them if they dropped down. I'm blessed they never did. I was just curious. And it's really rad to see a nice big plant like that; especially in your backyard.

That's the Sannies Jack, you're probably noticing a mixture of trichomes, the one that look like hairs are the capitate sessile trichomes and there might be a few dog hairs floating in there too...lol I'm noticing a few amber that have joined the party...that's kinda perfect for me with sativa doms. She was ready at 10 weeks, but i let her go 11 weeks + a few days for shits and giggles. I have a few more that will go another few weeks.

Thanks Man! You might want to find some mold resistance strains for this winter...I've read there is an El Nino forming in the pacific and Hawaii is forecasted to have above average rain fall this winter. I haven't really grown out to many strains that change color....but the one that did were from Sannies New Blue Diesel and Jackberry there were phenos that turned a blue hue, they probably would have been solid purple if it was a little cooler here. Ordering seeds online I'd use Sannies or Attitude, there is noting wrong with feminized seeds but i typically don't use them since they're not ideal for breeding stock.

Take Care Man!

guys, if you are looking for something other than Attitude Seeds for your "grow beans", I highly suggest you try 'Batts", at http://www.beanboyzgenetics.com/. This guy is a one man operation, and he eliminates the middle man. Unfortunately he recently raised his prices.

If you have no intention of trying your hands in breeding. It's okay to use Feminized seeds if you're only gonna grow them out,but if you wanna try your hands in breeding, stay away from Feminized Seeds! These seeds will ruin the local gene pool if allowed to infiltrate into it through breeding.

Ya they take a good look but lucky for me I have neighbors that grow the shit out of it so keeps them busy My wife is not the happiest but she don't like goverment control. I really wanted 9 but didn't have the seeds but now I do.Latters Bra

I have been reading all the mmj laws and have read a little on other forums about this. Is there any law or penalty for growing up to 24 plants on your own property for personal use. One guy on another forum said it was legal to grow 24 on big island. I have my blue card and I have a friends "room mate" card so I can grow up to 14, but my friends is gonna expire and he might not renew it. I like to be able go over 7 without worring about the dea knocking on my door.

 

[beardofzeus]

I'm pretty sure you can only be a caretaker for one person and yourself...so 14 plants total. I believe the law is the same on every island though Hawaii county voted "lowest priority enforcement" for MJ, so they are supposed to be more relaxed about it but the news headlines still say otherwise.

[h=3]Cultivation[/h]
25 - 50 plants	felony	5 years	$ 10,000
50 - 100 plants	felony	10 years	$ 25,000
100 plants or more	felony	20 years	$ 50,000
Less than 25 plants on another's property	felony	10 years	$ 25,000
More than 25 plants on another's property	felony	20 years	$ 50,000
In a structure where a minor under 16 years is present carries additional penalty

This is what I was taking about. It doesn't say that you can't grow up to 24 on your own property. This is from the norml website, but the Hawaii state law says the exact same thing. However, the medical law does say that a patient can grow 7 and care take for 1 other, that's what I'm doing now. What I'm wanting to know, is there a penalty for going over?

 

[beardofzeus]

The law states that any patient exceeding the limits will not be exempt from criminal laws of the state. In my opinion, its probably wiser to stay within the plant limit for the fact that you are already on some government list as a registered patient. Doesn't mean you shouldn't, I'm just saying, technically, one person having 7 mature plants with buds on them is considered too many.

thanks for the suggestion! I dig how in-depth his write ups are for his selection process.

I chopped a reserva privada kosher kush the other day. This is the only pic I got of it cuz the plant was largely unimpressive but I did get some nice dense, frosty nugs that needed barely any trimming.
