Is that indoor? What is you temperature like? Make sure your pots are not holding too much water.

Hope you're all ready for some rain...I brought all my girls off the hill just to be safe, tough on the back.

couldn't get any finished shots as I fucked up and kept her full instead of breaking her down. she was too fat for outdoors. I am not liking my grow this year as the flavors are not coming in since I had to pull too early. time to search for an outdoor strain. maybe thai, maybe African, we see.

Currently searching for the same thing. what strain was this that didn't finish?

I got some ace guatemala and zamaldelica, seedsman mama thai and tsco congo genetics (mostly congo pointe noire hybrids), I thought some of these would be mold resistant, I will let you know how they do.

Fuckers are flying hard today. All day over Kahaluu and headed towards north shore. Fuck green harvest, fuck all people with authority. How's that saying go, positions of power usually attract people on power trips. All the while their laughing at us like we're the criminals.

Honestly I think they like us small time OD growers, without us they wouldn't get to fly around all day playing hide n seek with peoples medicine.

looks like maybe overwatering or possible after effects of spraying them with something.. one thing I will tell u too is that plant is getting really poor lighting.. is this a greenhouse or indoors and what light. ..and how far away from the bulb? Anyone at all able to comment on my original post? price of a wholesale unit? whats with this 'short growing season'... too humid/rainy outdoors in fall? what % of the month thru the yr is sunny ? winter mostly cloudy...? what are the biggest plants u guys have heard of grown outdoors there? thanks

if you truly don't like Greenharvest , then call you local politician and ask if he supports it? Then give him reasons why he shouldn't support it! Law Enforcement in Hawaii has to local lawmakers shaking in their shoes. Of course the cops don't want to see Pot Prohibition go away. There is to much money in it right now and it has corrupted law enforcement and that has allowed them to make easy money thru seizures of cannabis! Do you know arresting cops get a % of the cannabis haul? The system is set up where they make money off of busts. They aren't gonna be willing to give up their Xmas money so easily. That's why it's up to use to vote in progressive politicians who will help the cannabis cause. Time for the old Dinosaurs to hit the fucking road! It's time we stop paying heir tabs at Hostess bars!

808HI.... with your pics I have some opinions on what your plants might be hurting from.
1. Heat stress- some of your frindges on the outer part of the leaves are ever so slightly curlin up. I know Hawaii has been warm and humid lately, a strong exhaust and ossilating fans are a most for indoors. (as I am sure you know)... But, it looks like you have Mylar on your walls, I recently just switched to Mylar and then took it down; because I noticed some hot spots burning my plant.
2. Overwatering/Lack proper drainaige: I have had this bear claw thing happen to me before when I used FOFF mixed with cinder, even with a 50.50 ratio, my stuff would take forever to drain and I noticed the soil didn't seem to get enough air. Thus, I have switched to Promix Bx with coarse perlite. I use 50.50 and the stuff is awesome and light.
3. pH Lock out-I would flush with properly phed water, check your runoff with a TDS meter and see what your ppm's are. When I finally got my TDS meter, it helped out greatly whenever I would test my run off or nute batches.

This is just my opinion, but I have personally bear-clawed, pH fuck ups and nute burns, I should receive a damn black belt. But once I finally brought the proper tools (pH meter and TDS) and kept a personal grow journal ( in a compisition notebook lol). Cheers.

PS- WTF is with this tropical storm being named Flossie??? They must be using an ebonics name book, watch, next one will be "Ja Rule".

Didn't get much rain and wind. Here is the same Chem91 Afghan Haze X Willie Nelson

1st time making some bubble hash.... not too shabby!

Thanks! Got them off eBay.... oil slick stacks. $15 for three plus a hard plastic container to seal them in. Works pretty good!

Hope everyone survived Tropical Storm Floozie !!
My ganja plants survived but my tomato plants got hammered!
I did notice a little decay on the main cola of my Pure Kush, so I guess I'll discontinue that pheno..
It sure has been fucking humid since that storm passed..

Hard work, that's all it takes...

A cherry pie cut i recently rooted, and some unknown sativas in flower.

Wow long time since I have been on this thread, been thinking of moving back to Hi, lol but still not sure yet

recently did some cherry pie, not impressed, low high and low nose after curing. What are u guys seeing are the best mold resistant strains in Hawaii. i'd say that besides a strain having mold resistance genetically, some good strains for humididty would be those which tend to form more 'individual' buds. Vs. , strains which form long compound buds. Agent orange, NYCxg13, are examples of strain forming many individuals, though strains like Chronic (serious seeds) or Bubba Kush or Bubba Kush pre 98 would probably be terrible for humidity since they tend to grow fewer buds/colas but that are really big,long compound buds......vs. many many ping pong ball sized single buds. Makes sense huh, u usually see the mold in the colas which are large compound buds. So in California the Kush'es and OG crosses are in most demand. What is in most demand in Hawaii... I heard strains from the white family. Anyone living on Maui? We think we're wanting to move there...besides Oahu is appears to have less rainfall/humidity and more % sunshine (like in Kehei) at least according to citydata.com.

Oh btw Rookie808, I attempted to PM you but couldn't figure out how to do that or what to download, ive never tried it before...

Hey Norcal, I cannot speak for everyone in Hawai'i, obviously, but I live on the Big Island, where we get tons of rain and constant high humidity ( 60%+), unless you live southern parts or in Kona. But, I would agree as far as alot of guys do grow a variation of "white widow" hybrids, but I have come across lots of strains from indoor growers (primarily indica dom), as well as outdoor growers ( i would say more sativa dom).
I personally run hybrids that tend to lean more on the sativa side, if I don't, my indica dom hybrids or strains that are meant for low RH just bud rot to shit. I personally cannot afford a dehumidifier that would properly do the job, electricity is expensive as shit here in the islands. Get ready for some hefty electric bills.

My favorite strains to grow so far in my climate are: Diesel (from a friend, old school strain), Grape god (tends to mold if I do not watch it and provide it proper aeration techniques), and NL #5. Lol, and I am growin a WWxBig Bud too.

Hey anyone know of some genetics that are well suited to hawaii's photoperiod (outdoor)? Something good for short season like maybe early pearl cus it has hawaiian genetics.

a friend made some hash.

Is it true that making f2 seeds will help acclimate a strain to the environment it is bred and grown in? Or does it just open up the variety in the selecting process? I made docs OG f2 seeds and I also crossed the male with my 2 phosphate diesel dawg phenos hoping to transfer some of the Doc's mold-resistance and structure over to the PDD's. The PDD is a beautiful, greasy strain but its been sucking outside for me this year due to this high humidity and lack of trade winds.
