Toke on the lighter side, hahahaha. When I am home and have full access my average is 9 grams a day and that doesnt include the edibles.

Ha ha ha, dang, that's a lot to go through per day. Is it potent stuff? Maybe your tolerance is way higher than mine, but most of my stuff is too potent for me to take more than a couple hits at a time, otherwise it goes from good sativa high to maybe good, maybe bad sativa high, maybe cosmically shattering sativa high or maybe a "your so freaking paranoid you're looking through the window blinds every time you hear a siren, thinking 'they' are onto you" sativa high. Since all those are possible from heavy toking on extreme sativas on any given day I usually limit it to one or two hits and switch up strains to not build a tolerance to any one strain. I'm not sure how much I smoke, but if it was less than 9 grams a month I wouldn't be surprised, but I really have no idea; there's always weed to smoke and I just grab what I want as needed, no weighing.

Yeah its alot compared to what most people would intake, but thats partially due to the fact that a ceiling has been built. I imagine if I had my own stuff around all the time then I wouldnt need as much; I know this as few weeks ago, a mate and myself had 1 nice jt of quantum kush and we were giggling for the whole afternoon, when normally we would be smoking non stop all avo (5-6 jts not uncommon).
I dont take tolerance breaks, I dont believe in them. I firmly believe this plant contributes nothing but good so no reason to take any pauses, except when I am at work (and thats not by my choice
).

Yeah if you can switch up strains every few days it helps from building tolerance. I don't take tolerance breaks either.Yeah its alot compared to what most people would intake, but thats partially due to the fact that a ceiling has been built.

That's nuts!
I remember when Victorville was all green from the freak rain one year. Next thing you know, all of the housing projects located there started posting pictures with green rolling hills in the background. I feel so sorry for people that get bamboozled by marketing lies!
Which smoke is your favorite? What do the flowers smell like? Is it Ace Malawi?

Yeah, I've seen the same thing on the Big Island. On websites and eBay realtors/owners post picturesque scenes from the islands for properties in Ka'u and Puna district. Don't get me wrong, I like both Ka'u and Puna districts, but it is not what people think of when they think of Hawaii. I actually knew a couple different people that bought properties off of the internet, sight-unseen, expecting coconut covered beaches and showed up to their property in HOVE (Hawaiian Ocean View Estates) or Eden Rock (or any of the subdivisions there) and they were surprised to say the least.
And my favorite smoke is Kali Mist. It's going to be hard to beat that one ever. Other than taking awhile to finish (Serious Seeds says 10-12 weeks, but there's some that can go 14), it's the full package for me. One of my phenos yields well (the other one, not so much), they look great, they smell like spicy incense, the taste matches and the potency is really good. Everybody likes it and women are particularly fond of it.
The Malawi yields good too, it's got good trich coverage and the effect and potency are both really good.
The downsides are:
1.The flowers are a bit fluffy, which I don't care about at all, but there are some people who correlate good weed with solid buds. I have no idea where people got that idea. I usually chalk those people up to being amateur smokers/growers because it has absolutely no foundation in reality. I'm guessing it has something to do with indoor growing. But really, they aren't that fluffy especially for a pure sativa.
2. The buds smell great on the plant. I'd say something like garlic, honey, parsley and a slight meat grease smell. Maybe that sounds horrible, but it's not, it smells great to me. Buuuuut I haven't been able to get that smell to carry over to the finished product yet. Hopefully I will be able to this round. If I can get the dry buds to smell like they do when they are on the plant then it will be worth keeping around. I'll keep one around even if I can't get the smell to carry over because I like it.
The Kali Bubba (Kali Mist x Bubblegum) is a good all around plant (smell, taste, yield, looks, etc.) that everybody has liked so far. It's not my thing so much because the pheno I got is Bubblegum leaning, I'd guess, because it's stoney and I generally prefer strains that get me high, but people that prefer indica type stones like it.
And I just finished with my last round of Bay 11 from Ken Estes. It's on the stoney side and smelled really really good, tasted very piney, the potency was good (not great, but good), it looked good, all that stuff. I quit growing it though because the yield was really poor and cut worms love it. I only grew one seed of it though, it was a freebie so take that with a grain of salt. I'd consider getting a pack of it to see if there's something similar, but with better yields and that would do better in my environment.

I know what you mean about bag appeal. I couldn't get anybody to try the Malawi. It took two years of giving it away to get people into smoking it. They young guys really love it now. They like the energetic buzz and the cedar smell. I love it when their lips get numb from smoking a doobie.
The Mulanje was the best sativa I have grown to date. It was frostier than the Malawi (free seed). The hash from that girl is the best smoke I have had in a while. Sweet incense taste and a high that cuts through the fog.
Sounds like I need to grow some Kali Mist!

None of those smokers referenced above (amateurs or anyone worrying of bag appeal) had ever spent a length of time living on my side of the world, though I was never one to be too good to smoke something bc it didn't look the best ever.
Funny as I know what both of you are talking about; looks don't classify for me. I have smoked some which absolutely looked like some "bunk" crap, and it rocked me and everyone around me.
What an awesome plant to grow and utilize!!

You should definitely try Kali Mist if you get the chance. I got two phenos out of my pack and I'm not sure which one I like more.
I actually bought a pack of Mulanje from your recommendation, but none of them germed due to what I believe is a problem with the water source at my garden spot. Once the seeds pop (if they do) they don't seem to mind the water, but I've had ridiculously bad germ rates at this location and the neighbor, who shares the same well, did too which neither of us have had problems sprouting seeds before this location. Maybe I'll order some more on the next order. Your description is very tempting, ha ha. How long did it take to finish?

Quality over quanity any day of the year. Thats just me, but I could give a shite about the number it makes. If its that good, just make more of it. I also have come to find at this point in life, no expectations is a win win all the way around, and I mean no expectations with anything.@Mohican really nice plants brah. Finishing in January makes them less tempting, ha ha. How much weight did you get off of that natural one ^? I could swing it if the yield makes up for it. Who wouldn't want to experience their lips going numb after a couple hits?

@Mohican Well the yield looks like it was good just from eye balling it. I don't think it looks like it yielded as much as the Malawi (or maybe it was Mulanje?) I saw you grow that you put the carport frame over it to finish, but good nonetheless. Did you take any pictures of the hash from it?
And yeah, quality is king except when it's paired with quantity too
That's part of the quest; finding strains that patients really like with good yields that do well in my area. Finishing time isn't critical, but it does have to pan out a certain average (yield/weeks for flower) for it to be worth it to me.
You can never be disappointed with no expectations, ha ha. I'm not sure if I have expectations with much, but I sure do hope a lot, ha.

The Malawi girls were huge!
All of the old sativa strains from Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Vietnam, Thailand... were top shelf plants when grown in HI. The red hair strains coming out of Kona and upcountry Maui were some of the most amazing highs I have ever experienced! They grew huge and loved the island weather. I am so bummed that the Indica plants become more popular.

@Mohican Everyone of those pics are great and it is too bad indicas are more popular. 90% or greater sativa leaning strains are pretty much the only thing I smoke and pure/nearly pure sativas really do love it here, I'm sure it reminds them of the old country they came from Definitely my preference over stoney strains.
