now worries I had a fatty for us Ya i have to work from 8am to midnight on saturday maybe another day Aloha

aww you make me cry Hawaiian Kind!

for transport - wet a towel and lay it on the ground. uproot your cuttings and make a line of them so the tops are only sticking out of the towel. Fold the bottom of the towel up over the roots and roll up the towel.

I would think what GreenKine said is the best bet. Get a large hiking backpack and see what you can do with that. Other then that is gonna be difficult getting your girls to your plot.

You can always build a stadium like Puna Bud has suggested before. Just your regular household window screens or something like that, with some wood built into a box of a desired size. You can take the materials up with you, build it at your spot and start your seedlings/clones under the stadium. Keeps the bugs out and lets the sun in. You can keep them in you cups/small pots till then are the size you want then transplant them to your final spots.

Thats your best bet IMO. Carrying 3 inch plants for 2 hours without hurting them maybe a problem and if you have a lot and you have to make quite a few trips.

Maybe Puna Bud will hop in this thread and help ya out. Hes quite knowledgeable in guerilla tactics for Oahu and Maui.

Shit on Oahu this weekend for some Holiday visiting. Shit superferry some clones back prob aint that hard, they don't search shit when checking your cars.

MauiChronic808, I'm upcountry. Still planning out next long seasons grow and finding strains I want to grow next year.

just ordered some northern lights aswell. my plant now is 5 weeks old or 4. i smoked weed last weekend and im being drug tested monthly and have a test in like 3 weeks. im fearing but it was worth it. i hadnt in 3 months before that so ive been running and sweating and drinking it out. i think im clean by now.

This girl is from a bagseed i germed in October. Small kine for the newyear!!

... I was messing around and tried my hand at cloning so heres my first successfull clone... Shes less than an inch and has been flowering! .. Did it in pure perlite.. now shes in soil.

(cant see it clearly here) but i just put her in 24 hr light today. ill try and take a clearer pic later..

Alohas.

Mauichronic808, i did the same thing on 4th of july. I never smoked for almost a year beforehand, I had 3 weeks to detox naturally and did a random at my job... i was really worried but i came out neg... I just drank lots of water and sweated hard everyday! ... my friend who burns steadily buys fake piss and passes his randoms fine..

I've seen a carrying backpack like thing with shelves, that held red dixie cups with 3 inch plants in them, I think it carries 12 or so, built from the older military backpack steel frames. (the new ones are high strength plastic) other than that my friend carried his up in the mountains in a milk crate.

that is crazy! How many starters/clones are lost during the hike in the the site? But it is also the way I use to do it when I first started too. Best thing is to start your seeds by s stream where your grow site will be. If done right you should be able to put enough wood in a backpack with nails, latches, & screen. You then build a screened in box the size of two shoe boxes side by side. Small enough to hide, sturdy enough to keep critters out while starters sprout.

Hey, if any of you braddhas live Big Island, I'd be into trading clones/seeds too!?

i never built anythign to protect it but back in indiana when me and my buddy used to outdoor grow we would carry them in this way, we would lose about 1/3 to random incidents and another 1/3 would maybe be male but that left us with about 2/5 female but it was worth the 4 or 5 hikes to take or crop in.

I was the same way with lost starters too. I don't care how you pack them in, you're gonna lose your fair share. If you have to spend a good two and a half to three hours hiking to your site. You better your chances of not getting ripped off!

Many moons ago I use to live on the North Shore(Sunset Beach). So of course I needed an "avenue of revenue"(grow site). So I'd have my roommate drop me off at the top of Pupukea Hts. I would then spend the next three hours walking in total darkness back towards Velsyland over the mountain tops. I even would have to creep by a military camp installation up there in the darkness too. Trying to be stealth with a back pack & dog wasn't easy, and yes I lost my fair share of starters to this method.
It became so much easier, and made so much more sense to build a grow box(stadium)on location. That same backpack would now easily pack small slender piece of measured wood to frame the stadium. Screen roll cut to size,from Home Depot, and a few nails & latches and away you go. Oh yeah, it's easy to use those flat starter pet moss disk(forgot proper name)too in your stadium. Do it this way, I promise almost 100% success!
To make a guerilla grow successful, especially on Oahu. It is my opinion that you should spend hours hiking into your site on this island. Unless you wanna be crazy, as I have gone that route too! On Oahu one year I planted right next to the water tower in Mokuleia(near Army Beach)! But it was only good for one year because we tapped right into water tower(water plants & take showers) near harvest time. It left the most incredible lush site for that area, and made my op stand out like "dogs balls". Combine that with the tradewinds with "skunk" blowing in them. A good combo for ripoffs to come curiously investigate. My preference back in the day was to grow far away as you can from any populated area. The more inconvenient your hike into grow site, the better your chances for a good harvest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yup i used to have to hike all my water in (8 gallons) for about a 45 min hike in a hiking pack lined with a trash bag to a 15 gal. resavore hidden in a cave that had a water timer and drip system hooked up to it. but i was 15-16 and had all the time and energy in the world.

now i got a crazy ass remote spot with the trail head right behine my friends house with a easy hike but long. we will be doing a starter area and be making a "dry box" like set up thanks to you guys.

how soon can i start to germ my seeds with out getting stuck in between seasons. i like um grow big. when does the light change for us??

I'm constantly planting seeds. My methods adapt to the time of year I start my seeds and what size I want my plants to be to. My wife does he starters upon my request. The past couple days I've been transplanting seedlings to grow bags. Once that's done, I request my wife to get more seedlings going. In Puna I have prime growing conditions in my opinion. I think my greatest asset growing in Puna is the vastness of this area. I'm no longer focused on ripoffs & cops anymore. I can now put 95% of my energy towards my plants. I use to be a nervous wreck growing on Oahu because of those two facts alone. Here I find tranquility growing in Puna too! Sorry to ramble on...I'm a bit "bobo" right now!

There we go that's a very good idea with the cups. As for the nutrients I always fertalize as for fox farms I have seen alot of recomendations on there products but is it formulated for herb or is it just a general fertalizer. How's shipping to Hawaii any one order from them localy?

Click to expand...

what kind of nutes are you using? Here on the Big Island, I see Foxfarms products everywhere. You gotta have them on Oahu?

Puna, those stories are crazy! Ah, Old school, i would guess you were cropping in the country in the 70's or 80's. got any more?

Anyway, my question to you is are you putting those seedlings straight outdoor or are you vegging in a light system indoor?
