Hawaii Growers

Rearranged the tent. White Widow Ladies, 4 RDWC and 1 ProMix.

Do any of you guys on Maui know the artist Richard Fields? I am trying to contact him about some 70s art work he did. It was for a T-Shirt company owned by a guy named Tiny. My Father and I built the T-Shirt store and I got some shirts as payment. Amazing artwork.

Cheers,
Mo

Hey Mo, I'm pretty sure I'm the only Maui guy on here and I don't know that guy. Maybe you could casually ask on oldhaole's journal on icmag. He's got a few Maui guys that regularly check in and a couple of them are older so they might know that guy

Thanks - which part are you in? My Father lived in Makawao up Olinda road. I love upcountry.

Anybody on the big island need help trimming or would like to trade some seeds? I'm trying to make it to puna side this weekend. Leaving Tuesday. Brought two fire seeds and a nug haha. Need a refill soon

My IC Mag account is back to zero so I can't talk to anybody on there. Could you please ask him for me?

Hey Mo, I just meant you could ask on his journal, not PM. But I'll ask for you next time I comment on his journal.

I just asked on oldhaole's thread. Also, I'm on the North Shore.

And Mo, I didn't mention it earlier, but I ordered some of those Mulanje seeds from Holy Smokes, but I had some germination problems so none of them popped. I think I had some bugs in my soil that burrowed into the seeds. Super lame. But I've got some Malawi plants going from Ace Seeds and they're pretty rad. Potent, tough, clone easy and have a unique smell. Too bad people aren't interested in extreme sativas though.

Everybody who has tried mine has liked it. The only reason people don't like it is that it takes as long to grow it as it does to grow three crops of a hybrid OG. It is about money and patience. Many of the growers here are finding out how much better the vigor and the buzz is with a true sativa. How many hybrids you know that numb your lips when you smoke them?

I can dig it Mo. I have one hybrid (Kali Bubba) that's about 50/50 and everything else in my garden is 90-100% sativa. And you're right, extreme sativas are vigorous and a lot of them will give the same amount or better yield from one plant as 3 OG hybrids. How many 10lb+ OG's have you seen? I seen plenty huge sativas that produce 10lb+.

Sativas are great, but unfortunately for now, a lot of people here are wanting Cali strains or at least potent indica strains (probably because we have so many Californians that have moved here). I don't blame them, a lot of great stuff comes out of Cali, but we have arguably the best environment in the world for growing world class sativas (indica strains like it here too, but you can grow those anywhere) and people could be smoking sativa strains that they would probably never get to try outside of the tropics and hence not get to enjoy a good sativa high. I'm not complaining, I just like sativas.

And for the record, I've mostly only smoked sativa strains, but the couple of times I smoked indica dominant strains they DID NOT make my lips go numb, then again I'm not sure I've smoked a sativa strain that did either, ha ha ha. You must have some potent stuff growing in your backyard.

Malberry Seeds was a bulk only seed supplier that has been keeping heirloom sativas from Africa. Holy Smoke was selling them in packs. Holy Smoke is gone now and Malberry is selling them in packs! http://www.malberryseeds.com/

Both the Mulanje and Malawi numb my lips!

Cheers,

When you say north Shore do you mean like Kapalua?

I thought I'd update with the plant I asked about on 5/18. She's doing nicely. Only leaf miner prob's so far.

Thanks for the info Mo. I knew Malberry supplied Holy Smokes and High Grade Seeds (and maybe even another bank, but I can't remember), but I didn't know Holy Smokes was out of the biz now and that Malyberry was selling packs now. I thought I just saw some specials for Holy Smokes seeds at one of the seed banks a month ago.

And I'd say "North Shore" means from Sprecklesville to coastal Pauwela-Haiku areas. Kapalua is still considered the West Side which is from Olowalu to Kapalua.

I was surprised when I saw Malberry was selling packs too! If a seed bank has old packs of Holy Smoke I would stay clear of the Sativas. However I know the owner was working on some new crosses so maybe that is what they have?

Thanks for the geography lesson! Kapalua was so close to Honolua that I thought it was the North Shore. Now looking at a map I see how far off I was!

I thought I saw those specials at Cannazon, but I could be imagining it and they don't have any of the landrace seeds from Holy Smokes, just some crosses.

And the West Maui Mountains do have a north shore so I can see what you were thinking, but nobody refers to it as the North Shore because there's nothing out there besides Kahakuloa Village. I mean it doesn't get referred to much because nobody goes out there unless you living there or are just a tourist doing some scenic driving. And there is actually some good breaks on that side too, but I don't know many people that will surf there. Besides Honolua, all the breaks that I know of on the north side of the West Maui Mountains are pretty much for experts only. It's all razor sharp coral and underwater caves. The kind of breaks where you have to make it. Honolua can get big and is for the big boys when it does get big, but you won't die (most likely) if you bail out.

sup Hawaii!

That's pretty dang frosty there East
