Gets ya everytime lol Defiantly post the picture once you get a bass on the fly rod Its so much more rewarding and the fight is much better than on a spin rod. I do spinning aswell its usually better here when the rivers are up. I actually went for a fly fish today and caught a brown trout on a dry fly which was good fun.haha yeah its the bushes behind that get me. being a spinner normally im not used to checking behind me for that extra casting room. i will get a bass one day on fly and i will pot it here for all to see no matter how big or small. i cant wait for my first fish on fly. it will be that much more rewarding on fly after all the work i have put in.
dont worry once i get the hang of this fly stuff a NZ fly fishing adventure is definitely on my bucket list.
to be honest i hate deep sea fishing and landing a big king is a lot of work. deep sea fishing is jigging heavy jigs up and down until you get hits then dragging a powerful heavy fish up 200m from the bottom. heavy line and well set drag means your probably not going to lose the fish and its just a lot of hard work with little adrenaline.Gets ya everytime lol Defiantly post the picture once you get a bass on the fly rod Its so much more rewarding and the fight is much better than on a spin rod.

Make a trip to NZ one day for a fish, get a guide for a day and youl be sussed! I was just looking at the pictures of the fish... Looking good man that kingfish is awesome Ive always wanted to land one of those the fight must be pretty hardcore haha
Sure is beautiful mate, the kawekas are closer i think they're half way between here and Tauranga Id say. Sounds about right for snow capping around march April although it might be a little latter here but defiantly are right through winter. Oh yeah and good ganja, good stags and fast motorbikes sounds pretty damn fine if you ask me You gotta go for a hunt in the Tararuas sometime man its beautiful.

Damn those panama have really taken of! You've got a mad spot getting 10 hours of light. I reckon youl get one male and 2 females but hey who knows and damn your going to have some sexy plants if you get red phenos lol Is it algood to remove damaged leaves and stuff like that? Also there are two tiny little leaves at the bottom almost were the stem starts that just dont get enough light and have been a center meter for agggggges probably a month and a half can I just remove them?
Probably a delayed summer id say things are only just starting to clear up down here. Met service is predicting good weather for awhile down here finally yuuus I think summer might finally be starting/back properly down here lol
I reckon you can still get alot hotter up your way and even here It gets hotter than what it is. Your weather is primo though because you dont even need to water them Wind on a holiday foes sucks the sound of the tent waveing around is awful.
My plants probably just over a meter in height id say. The toping has kept it down which has worked out quite well because the bottom stems have had time to catch up so id say it will be bushier now which is good. I hope the "real" summer does come becasue its defiantly not up to its full potential yet The two new tops look algood and there is a nice big healed strong knuckle where it broke. ( Check the pics) Its showing some pre flower but Im not going to say male or female yet until it shows more its hard to tell. Who ever mentioned that plant showing alternating internodes within 40 - 60 days was right because at around day 53 it showed alternations and now all the new branches have alternating internodes so I guess its getting more sexually mature lol Its good as to see more kiwi growers! Kiwis unite hahaha Itl be awesome to see some south island grows. Well heres some pictures everyone.
Just over a month since its been in the ground:
http://www.herbiespicknmixseeds.com/pick-n-mix-ace-seedsAny of you cuzzies got a suggestion for a seedbank to order seeds from? Looking to do a small quick first grow before winter
Defiantly mate! Thats tones of light they must be grown faaaast as now. Algood I removed some shitty leaves today so that should help.Yeah I might have to suss the tararuas out.
The panamas probably get more than 10 hours direct sun now that they're bigger. I hope so, 2 females would be awesome!, I'll probably get a nice red hash pheno.
Yeah you can remove any shitty leaves from the bottom that don't get any light - the thing with planting in the woods is they only get top light.
I have been getting steady sun with 24 highs on average lately, not summer weather though and its real mild like march/april weather. I'd say my plants are over 4 ft now.
it's basically sativa land up here with outdoor cause we get a bit of rain come april-may, we get high night time temps like whangarei,kaitaia etc.
Your plant has some big leaves, looks indica to me. Watch out because it will probably start flowering soon - hopefully it's a female bro and if it is you will have plenty of smoke.
How many direct hours of sun does it get?
Here's the mother Malawi indoor 7.2 weeks on 12/12

Yeah id agree mate deep sea fishing is no were near as exciting as spinning or fly fishing! Its alright occasionally as something different maybe.to be honest i hate deep sea fishing and landing a big king is a lot of work. deep sea fishing is jigging heavy jigs up and down until you get hits then dragging a powerful heavy fish up 200m from the bottom. heavy line and well set drag means your probably not going to lose the fish and its just a lot of hard work with little adrenaline.
i prefer bass fishing any day, theres nothing as exciting as seeing a big bass smash your lure off the top of the water then hearing your drag scream as it runs straight into the snags, i use light line and trust me every second you have a wild bass on, your heart is racing because you havnt caught a bass until its actually in your kayak. same goes for bream.
plus with bass fishing you get the added extra of fshing some beautiful rivers and creeks and you get to take on some rapids between pools. what more could you ask for. every bass fishing trip is a full blown adventure for me.
I'm gonna be checking out the colloidal silver method of taking two female clones of the same strain, spraying one with colloidal silver (pure silver rods are on trademe for $30)Hi Crazy Kiwi:
I don't have the ability to grow clones so I am going to grow from seed. That's why I ordered fifty of them. You know what would work great with these fabric grow pots? Redsign the geo pot so it can hold a decent size bag of coco coir and then be able to be strung up to the side of a tree. If we could ladder these plants up the sides of trees then the critters wouldn't get to them. Redesign the fabric pots!
