last Thrusday, 4 p.m., then the following Friday 2:00p.m.. No "Ghetto birds" Sat. or Sun. Then yesterday, Monday they attacked once again the community at large in the afternoon. Where does the term "lowest priority" fit into this daily mix of law enforcement? Now with our local Sunday newspaper talking about law enforcement layoffs coming down the pipe. I actually expect their flying to increase over the next few months on the count of that very fact. Local law enforcement has fought "tooth & nail" over the years to keep "Operation Green Harvest"intact. Not because growing has run rampant in reccent years. But for these guys to pick & choose what pakalolo they wanna keep $$$$, and what ones are used for evening news as part of their "BS"campaign.

for me this has turned into the worst year ever! I'm talking over 30 some odd years of growing too. I blame a lot of it on my refusal to aknowledge my poor eye sight. Had I worn my "reading glasses" daily perhaps I wouldn't be writing the article? Yes, that's right, I blame a lot of it on my own laziness. Yet, at the same time. This is the worst year on the Big Island for many growers because of 'Powdery Mildew".
If you are facing the same problem. Let me suggest a few products that might help you. But first, if you are on "broke dick" status. I suggest a homemade remedy for you. Take Hydrogen peroxcide and mixit 50-50 with water. Then spray it on infected areas. Repeat every several days.
Now if you have a few dollars here are several products worth checking out. These products can also be used in your fight against "PM" too.
1. Serenade
2. Take Down
3. Zero Toleranace( Ed Rosenthal's own product aagainst " Bud Rot & P.M.}
4. Organicide
5 Greencure
6 EM & EM-1
7 OrangeTKO
take two of these products that you think work best. Then alternate them in your treatment against "Powdery Mildew" & "Bud Rot". In a weeks time you should see some positive results!
Or you can be like me and wait until it's tooooo late and loose everything. I even lost my own stash!
Good luck to all that face this nightmare!
you're using a grow tent?!?!? I was under the impression that they are virtually impossible to make them "light tight". Is this true? What size and what brand do you have? Heat problems, etc.,etc...?

Hey puna Indoors cost ALOT of money as AC is mandatory for any good results, Thats why I made the switch to flowering outside the Sun is free. Just keep them in the lights to veg and get healthy till they get to the size that you want them, Throw them out and they grow another 2 feet before flowering. Once I got the rotation right I have 3 flowering every 6 weeks.

Nope they work great. I have two and a friend I know has two also. Mine are from hydro hut. I have the 4x4 for flowering and the 2x2 for veg and clones. Worth every penny. Oh and I dont use any AC just good fans that empty the tent in about 30 sec and I use a vented hood and my temps are never over 80. Take a look at the link in my signature and you will see I do indeed get good results.

Ok these will be the last Pics they are too big for me to move now.
Both were cloned on the same day.
Strech is 10 weeks veg 2 weeks flower, Just hitting 6 feet
Stooges is 12 weeks veg 2 day flower, almost 4 feet
From now on I'll veg only 8 weeks so they are more managable.
Harvest is exactly 7 weeks from the day they go out. Lets see which one PUTS out more !

aloha hawaii growers.
Getting some rain in the islands? haha its dry as hell in arizona! Can't wait to get back to the islands for christmas break.
Hey I also have a question for all you guerrilla growers considering drying In hawaii I noticed I could never dry bud outdoors to the point where it was dry enough to store in airtight bags. Its because of all the humid weather we have. I got mold on my buds after a month of them being in ziplocs.
Do any of you guys dry outdoors? What are your strategies? Do you just dry them longer than usual?

I dry them under 2 strong fans on a clothesline type dealy.. Takes about 36 hours to dry crisp unless we have ultra humid weather like we had about a week ago.. then an extra day...
The buds are dry and the stems will snap when you twist them.. Then they go in a jar for curing... Open once per day for first 5 days... then once per week for 5 weeks ( I usually get impatient and start smoking it before then!!!)
Curious to hear what others do!

howzit going kkday, haha long time no talk. Sorry I just cut off and went missing for half a year, it all started with my computer breaking, then college coming around, lots of busy stuff, didn't have much time to be smokin weed though haha.
Finally settled in to college here, and getting some mean hookups. cheeba aint cheap up here, 60$ an eighth and its usually all dried up and old by the time it gets all the way up to northern arizona. but I already got some new stoner buddies and now im getting hooked up with good shit like lemon skunk (straight from cali clinics) and other chrons for 40$ an eighth! Not bad considering being in the middle of a desert! it just doesn't compare to all the hawaiian strains though. Im missing rolling up J's on the beach with friends!
Arizona is a NO TOLERANCE state, as in if your caught with anything pretty much, its a felony. If your caught driving with it, even if your not high, DUI. bad bad shit. haha not to mention, this city has the highest cop:citizen ratio out of any other city in the united states. can't drive anywhere without seeing them lurking around.
and all they want to do is bust potheads! its ridiculous
I am so lucky I haven't gotten busted yet, gotta stop hot boxing cars then driving to wendy's for munchies.
Also, bud is so dry up here! When I smoked my first desert weed (as we call it) i torched the thing by accident, this shits combustible! I miss hawaii where the sweet moist hawaiian air keeps your weed at the perfect moisture
oh yeah kkday, did u ever have a good grow at dat one spot? howd it go?

I do the same as you sheck but I have an dehumidifer in the room. I wait till the branches snap. Ross has some nice airtight contanier ( with the wire closure )cheap that I use too.
"looking good brah "
Thanks Doc YOU were one of my inspirations, I told myself "self if THAT coconut can do it so can YOU " LOL Thanks Doc

LOL! Coconut, huh
thx for the kind words

LMAO
thx for the kind words...LMAOnormally i dry my stuff for seven to 10 days in one of the bedrooms. I only use my dehumidifier if plenty rains is happening at the end of my dry cycle. In a perfect world I'd cure all my stuff 3 months in mason jars in a closet. But how many times has this fried out old man forgot where I put the jars!?!? Then I come across them six months laters loooking and smelling like 70's Colombian and entirely useless. But with the curing Punatic, I like to go from closet to grocery plastic bag for one night before mason jars. I roll paka up tightly in grocey bag, then I wrap a rubber band around it several times. This way I bring back a small amount of moisture to my stash. It takes off the edge of freshly dried weed. Burns 100% smoother by doing this. Of course, if you use Miracle Grow, shits gonna burn no matter what!"I dry them under 2 strong fans on a clothesline type dealy..

Dr. Ghorn, if you see this, I'm happy you got the opportunity to work there! By all means gather your wealth. This shit ain't cheap!
Growers took to this strain on the Big Island for several reasons, and yes it is from Wally's Web foot strain. I believe I had three different versions of Web this past season. People/growers have always enjoyed it here because of it's stealthness during it's vegatative state. It doesn't look like your typical weed plant. For that reason alone Big Island growers embrassed it. It has a heartly stem usually too, and it's semi mold resistant too. But once it starts to flower the gig is up. She stinks big time!! Unfortunately 'Powdery Mildew' nailed my Webs big time(first time) this season.
