And I thought this would be cool in case some of you guys have never seen this. I've only seen it 3-4 times. The mother (I assume) centipedes protect their eggs under the dirt. There's not much that will make them uncurl off of their eggs. I like their devotion.

And just FYI, centipedes are good garden predators. They're tireless predators of plant eating bugs and probably some other predators too (unfortunately, but nobody's perfect). Slugs and snails are some of their favorite foods so I don't mess with them in the garden. Anyway, it's not something you get to see everyday.

Hey Guys,

Im hoping one of you more experienced guys may be able to share a bit of your knowledge.

Im going to be living in the south pacific as of next year and so planning a couple of outdoor plants. The island is very humid and rains a lot with 11/12 hours 12/13 all year. I've been trying to find strains which would be best suited for this climate. I initially thought Papua New Gold as the climate is similar, however good luck in finding that. So then I thought Hawaiian Haze as you guys seem to have the same Jurassic park look to the island as the one I'm going to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Its never below 70% humidity so anything mold resilient would be a big help. Peace.

Californias surf is just as comparable as yours . Besides water temp it really aint got squat on California . Rincon , Mavericks and the Cortes bank come to mind just to start.
LOL. Statements like these make it clear you dont surf. Out of all the good Cali spots you name a mushy point break, and two big wave spots for adrenaline junkies that like to go straight.
When was the last time you heard a professional surfer say they cant wait to get back to Cali for the Surf? Never.

They dont call Hawaii the surfing mecca of the world for no reason...There are 7 miles of white sand on Oahu's north shore alone that shits on every spot in Cali no question.

Lol i laughed at the comment. You can surf our waters at ANY GIVEN TIME of the year, That's if you've got the stamina to keep moving in our surf. Plenty of people under-estimate the hawaiian water current of the pacific ocean, sad how many people from out of state drown every year. Man I've had a friend break his left leg and collateral ligament all from just fighting sandy beaches shore break LOL! Didn't even make it 5ft in the water yet and he got sent to the hospital. , i really look like a dumbass learning to snowboard out of state though lol

Looks amazing rik! Thanks for the welcoming as well. TWS is just mad cause he is stuck in the desert. How's the concentrate scene? You guys dabbing out there? I probably bring some oil maybe vape pen. Looking forward to some time in paradise! If you ever make it back to cali (so cal) let me know. I can show you some beautiful rural areas with lots of space and few people up in the mountains and hills.
Nice looking oil there. Concentrates are somewhat popular here, but flowers are still king. I've got a couple friends that make oil and have a vac chamber and whatnot. I can grab some for you if you want. I'm supposed to meet up with those guys pretty soon here.

How's the year-round weather up in those mountains? I lived in the Sierra Nevadas and picked an area that go ridiculously cold in the winter. I probably would've stayed there longer, but the winters were killing me slowly; death by a thousand cuts, not my thing. But it was beautiful and the summers were great.

nice pic of chopes in tahiti..lol

@rikdabrick
howzit brah...mean pic of the resin dripping on that one plant. what strain is that!? I gotta start switching to outdoor sats. The places I usually get beans from don't really have the sativas I'm looking for. Got bodhis lemon thai x genius ready to go soon...probably closest thing to a full sativa I got. Should of got his malawi when it was available

yeah..herb quality here varies depending on who grows it. I used to grow kinda harsh shit out in the cane fields back in the day. With all the ready to grow bags of soil like roots organic almost anyone can grow the crip now. Guys I know growing bunk are just trying too hard..lol
Ho howzit Positivity, that is my head stash pheno of Kali Mist. I got a fem pack of them a few years ago and have kept two phenos from it (I actually ordered regs, but Attitude sent fems). One of them is what I would call above average in quality and produces really well so I've kept it. The other one (in the aforementioned pic) does not produce very well, but it's probably my favorite smoke ever. I keep at least one per rotation. I've smoked on that almost solely for months at a time with plenty of variety to choose from.

I'd guess that Lemon Thai x genius would be good here.

For some reason I always wanted to try a cane field grow, but I think I'm too busy/lazy for it; I'll just stick to the gulches :)

Im sorry man. lol what is that thing ? about 2 feet tall. looks like it wanted to revegg because of your hours ? Californias surf is just as comparable as yours . Besides water temp it really aint got squat on California . Rincon , Mavericks and the Cortes bank come to mind just to start.
What do you use on a daily basis to fight PM ?
Look, there's gonna be good micro grows there or anywhere. Your not gonna put 50 on a hillside and have a good grow. The humidty and daylight hours choke the place. The cities are filthy dirty.

And I ain't jelous of shit ! Shit ! 8 hrs of driving im not even half way thru California from san diego. And that's only one state. The Islands are small.


I hope Jon Jon hooks himself !

:p :razz: :-P :bigjoint:
Howzit TWS? You are a funny guy and I appreciate and love you. Are you feeling warm fuzzies yet? You should be, I give some grade "A" warm fuzzies.

So I figured I'd clear up a couple comments from your post. In my garden currently all but two plants are 5.5ft. or taller at the moment and the other two are about 4.5ft and 5ft. Not too bad for winter time. And our plants don't generally reveg here unless it's a tropical sativa flowering during early summer.

California has good surf, but not as good as Hawaii's as mentioned by @waterproof808 and @SPLFreak808. Plus there's plenty of good places to surf that aren't packed out unlike Cali.

I have actually never had powdery mildew ever and I don't use anything to prevent it unless neem and dish soap are PM preventatives. I do get PM on my pumpkins and cucumbers though as I usually use milk to fight it.

You could do very well here with 50 plants on a hillside, but you got to know how to work it. Either you veg them big indoors, use supplemental lighting outdoors or pick heavier leaning sativa strains. I mentioned old haole on icmag in a recent post. He used to grow at least a few Thai strains per long season and they'd 12-14lbs each. Excluding heavy leaning sativa strains here you could compare it to early spring or late fall light dep grows that you guys do on the mainland; work outdoor growing here in the same method and you're golden. And I haven't had a problem with the humidity in general. Bug damage followed by rain is far worse of a problem than humidity.

So that's enough of that. Are you still with me?

After reading your posts I think I've come to a conclusion and some hypotheses'. I've concluded you don't like Hawaii very much. Now the question is why? Let's look into some hypotheses' to discern the root of the problem, shall we? Maybe your RIU family can help walk you through this irrational dislike for this beautiful state. So here we go:

1. You've been hitting the bottle kind of hard lately and just lashing out at anything enjoyable. Most likely because of a craigslist casual encounters "hookup" in which part way through your "encounter" you realized something was VERY wrong and now you're acting out in anger caused by shame despite the amount of times you've washed your nether regions and looked in the mirror telling yourself, "I didn't know. I didn't mean to. I really thought that was a woman."

I'm kind of ruling this one out since you seem pretty coherent, but it's a possibility still.

2. You are straight up crazy.

Also mostly ruling this one out because of the coherency thing, but Cali does produce a lot of nuts.

3. You hate near perfect temperatures, amazing natural scenery, great beaches and year-round beautiful bikini clad women and usually describe such things as being "super gay" while your friends think to themselves that your choice in descriptive words is rather ironic coming from you.

I don't have any evidence to dismiss this hypotheses yet so it's still on the table.

4. You came here on vacation expecting to have a great time. You dumped a whole lot of money on your vacation (we thank you :-D) and for one reason or another you're vacation sucked (Oh, we so sorry :sad:). Unfortunately not everybody has a great time here and it sounds like maybe you got the short straw when you came here.

Hopefully you can accept that it was just bad luck/bad timing/menstrual cramping/etc.

I'm thinking this one is most probable. If this is the case, then you should plan another trip, to Maui this time (I assume you went to Oahu from the "cities are filthy" comment, which isn't totally true either) and I'll show you around a bit. If you have a bad time here, especially with me as a tour guide, then we can scientifically conclude that there is definitely something wrong with you, ha ha. That's a serious offer.

And finally in reference to your highlighted part of the post below.....
That's enough Brah. Im just playing . I promise I won't come back to the thread....

Thank you for taking the time to write all that. I feel so well loved .I'll see if I can find time to come back and answer your post. I'll look you up next time Im out there visiting my son or when im surfing the Masters . PM likes squash type plants and neem is a preventative . Im sure your grows are dakind bro.

Look for heavy leaning sativa strains for the most part If you want something that should do really well on the island. Ace seeds and Cannabiogen have lots of sativa strains that will be able to handle the humidity and rain. South East Asian strains like Thai strains will handle well , but they take a long time to finish flowering so maybe look into a cross. I know Ace's website gives info on mold resistance for their strains. There's other breeders with sativa strains that should do well there too. If you find something you think you'd like you can check in here to get some feedback.

You're welcome very much TWS, ha ha :) You seem cool braddah. No need to answer my post unless you really feel the need to, I was just exchanging in a little friendly sparring obviously.

I guess I need to check out the kayak fishing show. I didn't even know about it until this last week. I don't have TV so I'm out of the loop, but I'm sure there's some highlights I can check out on YouTube or something.

And I'm sure you got some shaka grows too. I think the only plant of yours I've seen was that Goji OG pic you posted in my Bodhi tester journal. If the rest of your plants look like that, and I assume they do, then I know you stay growing da killahz too.
