Hawaii Growers

Grow bags are awesome but the termites will still get to em. Our last grow during short season was in growbags and they got hit by termites. We had to put saucers under them to stop the termites from attacking the plants

what I'm saying is grow bags give you the luxury of being able to move them from harm's way at anytime.

True That! I grow in pots on a table, makes it much easier for hand watering not having to bend down so I dont wet the trichomes.

is that train tracks?where the hell is that shit?

alright guys I need some outdoor strain suggestions. At this point im limited to ordering seeds online. I was thinking take the simple route and get some sensi skunk #1. But thats soo boring and oldskool. So give me a better strain choice. I need something that grows good in hawaii

as far as my plant goes I got budworms. Sucks. I just pulled the whole bud with the worm and killed the little sucker, he tried to crawl back up the plant.

Isn't it amazing how fast they move?
Bastards..
all of em!

After I pick em out.. I either try to feed them to the geckos or I put em on the wall and within seconds a big ant will come out and try to drag it away ...

Frigging worms...pulled five off my ak-47, none on the vortex or headband(might be good-fan leaves starting to get frosty) and they are all the same age and close to each other.

On the edibles too Puna? Made some butter and also some brownies with an oz of buds in each. My friend ate 2 bites of the brownies then she slept for 17 hours, I ate two and was ready to watch football for awhile. Just trying the butter now, stuck a fat slice in my chili....

Subcools Vortex & Jack the Ripper & Flav all grew well here on Kauai. No bugs ate em outside only thing was couple caterpillers loved em (only pest that seemed to go after em)

But I never grew but hear that Durban Poison does well here cause Pure Sativa. pure Sativa take longer but will grow better in Hawaii. Stay away from pure Indicas unless its really dry where you live.

I have lost total crops to worms in Hawaii. I hope not again. It was a nightmare.

go out and get a product called "BT Wormer". It's one of those solutions that you mix a couple of ounces of it to a gallon of water. Spray it on your ladies once a week. It will deal with worms(li'll green bastards,green catapillars, and the brown catapillars that sting or bite)& catapillars. I started using to stuff two years ago and haven't looked back! Don't wait to pick this stuff up, it will work! If you are an organic farmer, like myself. you'll have to look elsewhere for help. Neem, Peppermint soap,etc.,etc...
Once I truly gave way to 100% organic farming , BT Wormer was no longer an option.

Good luck

Im so pissed right now!! Just went outside to go look at my baby plant thats about a month old and I just started watering with this alaska fish fertilizer yesterday. So i take a look into the pot and it looks like it got dug up by a FCKING cat!! I mean the plant is still in the pot but it was buried in soil so I tried to remove all the soil off the plant and fix this mess so hopefully it starts growing again. Anybody experience this problem and is there any way my plant is going to survive??

puna, looks like the zion train is coming your way!

souljah, if the plant still looks aight and the roots werent dug up then id say shes still priming but there could be a week or 2 where she may be looking a lil sic. maybe a pic could help with the diagnosis.

So I just took a look at it again and I think its a goner already!! The plant is just drooping over on its side but no roots were harmed I think. Tried to put it back in place carefully when I first saw it but now it looks like its done. Cant believe it!! I put so much work into this little plant and now its gone. Gotta find me more seeds now.

Give her some more water, she'll be ok. Are you sure it's a cat? My cats never mess with my plants, but the bufos will hop in the pot and dig around.

As far as worm damage, I check my plants sooo much, I catch them right away and rarely lose much.

I did my butter in the crock pot this time, seems to work.

Ok cool man. It's nice to know something that has been proven to work. I am not growing organically, so this makes it simpler. I remember when my colas turned mangy brown within a day from the worms/caterpillars.

Mahalo!

Im not to sure if it was a cat but thats the only thing I could think of that would mess with my plant. Plus I thought it could have been the smell from the fish fertilizer that would attract the cats. But it looks like my plant is getting better just from some sunlight. Just gonna kick back and watch it grow now

yeah the thing is I wanna smoke weed not BT wormer. Thanks for the advice tho, I suppose if its that bad ill have to get some, but for now ill keep my buds free of topically applied chemicals.

HAHAHAHA yeah that sounds like the proper treatment. I had all these red ants around the base of my plants, I thought they were killing bugs, but they were feeding these little bugs sucking on my plant! Look like little moths. I tried to feed them the budworm but those fukin hippy ants wouldn't eat it, so I had to lay out the ant poison, thats what you get for being a goddamn hippy ant.

good suggestions, I generally avoid subcools strains thoug becasue they are said to be SUPERIOR smoke, but not so much on growth vigor and yield. (save for agent orange and a few others I think)

I went with sannies KILLING FIELDS!!!!!! I heard its freakin bomb sativa, good yeild, and not too bad growth wise, ill keep you guys informed for sure. a little over 50$ shipped to HI for 10 reg seeds. Its amazing how they get you for seeds these days, but w/e.
