Hawaii Growers

I make no bones about what im growing when im at a grow store. I also have my med card so. Hell I even ask if they offer a discount to med card holders. Some do some dont. One shop told me "no sorry we don't do that as 90% of our customers are card holders and we wouldn't make any money". But you never know. Also. I see you said you went to the depot for some soil. I know it was probably close and all but we need to support our local grow shops. Not just because its a local business ant the money stays on island and not in some big corporate account that leaves the island and never comes back but more because we need them to be here so we can use them when we need to. I used to go to a local business all the tile and for whatever reason I hadn't gone for a long time. When I did stop buy he had a going out of business sale. I said wow sorry to hear that. I haven't been in in a long time what happened? He said it was" because people haven't been in as much and are ordering off the internet. I cant afford to pay the cost of doing business any more." Ok so now i think about what is happening and it really bummed me out I felt guilty for not supporting a small LOCAL business that was willing to provide us with the unique items we need. Keep the islands local and keep them living. Sorry for the rant.

lol both you guys sending me out to Nimitz area. Little far from my place but I'm sure it will be worth it Thanks!

Side question, what do I say when they ask me what I'm growing? Only reason I ask is because when I first went to Home Depot for soil the guy asked and I had no idea what to say. Tomatoes? Also, think they will have cloning gel?

Kinda glad you guys passed along the information so quick. Gotta replant some new sprouts asap. Trying that lamp set up I linked earlier on a few new planted seeds. Damn things popped up and have the first set of leaves already in less than 2 days. Doing a 20/4 light cycle (4 off so the wife can get to sleep easier) Lights are bright as HELL even though they are in a different room. Makes the room so bright it almost looks like day light.

Hahah. Dont go to Home Depot

Just take some time off and drive into the Airport area, you wont regret it.

Trust me these hydro stores are not making money off tomatoe farmers. Let them know what you grow "med Mary"

As for the foxfarms soil ohana is cheaper, but Aron always shows love too.

What strains have you have success with growing in E Hawaii? What strain is the Johnny D that's popular in Hilo?

I can only grow outdoors. Don't have the knowledge to grow indoors. I wish I would have an indoor set up for clones, so I don't get 1 foot tall clones that I last purchased and don't know even what straindid I buy. That's why I just want to buy my own seeds since it's long season now. I want the strongest strain I can grow outdoors in East Hawaii.

What is the best time to start your seeds for the long season? If the best time has passed am I to late? Have only grown clones before and never from seed.

i usually start seed in may-june for long season and harvest by steptember-october.

Just grow any kine, you'll fined a few gems. That's the ones you keep. Straine names are just to make money. Don't waste money on seeds unless your looking for somthing in particular.

O the gems I have grown from bag seed.

You wanna impress your self? Grow some Mexican seeds out. Usually decent genetics just grown like crap.

Mahalo for the advice. Now I just gotta figga out what strain to grow. I want to get the strain that have over 20% THC but not sure if the bugga can handle the rain. Any suggestion on high THC strains that can handle the rain?

Anyone try and grow Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze or Barneys LSD?

KK is right! Dont put to much stock in the seed companies. Not that anything is wrong with them its not that important. In my experience any bag weed you grow will be better than the bag it came from. Its better because it hasn't been dried wrong, flushed poorly or crammed in some plastic bag for a long trip through a few hands to get to you. Its not as bad here in Hawaii as on the mainland because its a shorter trip from the growers to the end users here but still it degrades the weed. Plus I think I get just a bit higher on the weed I grew just cuz I grew it lol. that's worth 2 high points alone!

Hey Waiakea-

I've got one GHS S Lemon Haze going right now outside in the wind and rain and she cherry.

Plant not too sensitive and doesn't get too many bugs. Haven't harvested this strain yet for a smoke report, but she smell a very nice.

Aloha SurfdOut,

Mahalo for the info about the Super Lemon Haze. I will try and order some of those seeds. Please keep us updated about your results.

Let us know how that SLH turns out.

I don't believe GHS super lemon haze or any other of there strains hit 20% thc levels on average. That's just smoke up our ass.

I say do a few runs with bag seed to tune your self in to the enviroment then spend some money on seeds. Trust me, I found out I had plant eating mice the hard way.

GHS Super Lemon Haze the 2008 & 2009 Cannibis Cup Champion THC over 20% must be accurate in my opinion, if it wasn't over 20 % then they wouldn't have won the Cannibis Cup. I have sampled both the Master Kush and the Diesel and can say that they are a lot stronger then the Blueberry or Widow strain that is around here in Puna.

maybe it's 19.99%, and they rounded it off

It's not going to be 20% if you grow it. That's what I'm saying. Even miracle grow and poodle piss won't help you bro...... Just my opinion. They had perfect growing conditions and I'm sure it took about 20 different samples for them to hit 20% if even. Arjan has a bad rep as a breader if you ask me.

I like to breed ...

Anyone can tell me where on Oahu like in the mountains is a good place to grow?
