Hawaii Growers

[rikdabrick]

Enjoy looking at you Hawaiian guys grows outdoors. Would love to grow some of your strains here in australia.
I'm testing out my gorilla bomb x ghost train haze 1 cross. 2 distinct types. The pure sativa look of the gorilla bomb and the ght1 look.seems about 60 percent of the plants have inherited the gth1 traits. The ones that are pure sativa looking have the most intense sickening sativa smell.
Also crossed critical super silver haze x trippy gorilla
Gth1 x black d.o.g very nice rock hard buds with extremely sticky buds.

Funny enough, I grew out some seeds from a guy in Oz. Rubber Chicken on icmag sent me some crosses he made.

Most of what is grown here nowadays is either clone-only (local and mainland varieties) or from seeds from seedbanks with a smaller amount of growers growing stuff crossed by local guys. Everything I have is either clones from friends, clones I bought or from seed from Bodhi or Greenpoint Seeds. The clone only strains would be hard to get to you I'd guess and the seeds I'd assume you can buy from seedbanks so you're only missing out on half of the stuff here, ha ha.

A buddy of mine came by yesterday and I traded him a clone each of Dream Beaver (Bodhi), Blueberry Hashplant (Bodhi) and Purple Mayhem (Gooey Breeder) for clones of Death Star (clone-only), Purple Hindu Kush (maybe a clone-only?) and Jackfruit (also maybe a clone-only?) and he gifted me some partial packs of Jabba's Stash and Superstitious (both from Bodhi). Cool stuff that I had to fit in somewhere, ha ha. So up until yesterday I think the only strains in my fold that you couldn't access, assuming you can get seeds from seedbanks, would be Blueberry Haze (mainland clone-only), Chemdog (mainland clone-only), Gorilla Valley (local clone-only), Jamaican Goji OG (unreleased tester from Bodhi) and the Andy Irons OG (also an unreleased tester from Bodhi).

If I make some seeds this winter I'll let you know though and see if you're interested in anything I have. Your crosses sound pretty great too.

Can you grow year-round where you're at?

Yeah I'm jealous of you guys with clones. All those strains sound great. Our outdoor season here is basically October 1 through to may 15. Then I put out small greenhouse in winter out in the rainforest and use them as breeding tents . they are just 12/12 from seed and can reach up to 3 foot tall. But up the top of Australia you can grow all year round in the heat. Poor guys they are wearing singlets and shorts in winter. I'm using gth1 female to breed over
Sour kosher
Sour diesel
White widow
And grandaddy purple.

Is that Death Star you Maui guys got the original Ohio dstar? Purple Hindu Kush aka Jager is like the Skunkdog of Southern Oregon. I use to grow a lot of her there and I just got a cut of it. Wondering how she'll do here, awesome black licorice flavor with a potent indica buzz.

After being denied access due to failure of two step verification, I gave up and started a new account. Mods never replied to e mails. Two step is really annoying.

What the heck do those guys up north wear in the summer? And what's a singlet?

I grew a bunch of plants from seed last winter. We get about 11.5 hours of sunlight at the winter solstice so it's about the same as winter daylight hours for you. The plants range from 1'-3' tall. Nothing impressive size-wise, but I just consider it bonus weed since I still veg out my normal rotation with supplemental lighting. Having access to clones is great, but you can get plants just as good from certain seed makers nowadays. Some guys, like Bodhi for example, have certain varieties that you're virtually guaranteed a keeper that could keep up with clone-only strains so you're only missing out on specific varieties, not the level of quality though.

It's supposed to be the Ohio Deathstar. I guess I'll find out soon enough. It's a somewhat popular strain here. Not as popular as Skunkdog, Pog, HP13, etc, but about as popular as Chemdawg or at least I've come across it about as many times as Chemdawg.

And that cool Jager is the same as PHK. I gave my buddy $25 to go pick up a Jager clone from another guy and it didn't work out, but Jager found its way to me anyway, ha ha. A buddy of mine in Trinity county was growing quite a bit of Jager and he does a good job picking out high quality strains so that's what had me interested in getting that cut. It sounds pretty rad.

What do you have growing Spliff?

A singlet is a sleeveless shirt. Yeah I still get great genetics from seedbanks . but miss out on the clones like gg4. Still have the Cross's though like gorilla bomb and trippy gorilla. I stopped buying from seedbanks after my bank stopped doing bank transfers with them.

Ho! Tings I had nevah know. We call those shirts "tank-tops" for whatever reason. It's kind of a silly name now that I'm thinking about it. Why are they called that? "Singlet" isn't any better though, ha ha So yeah, tank-tops unless it's the kind of (usually) white sleeveless shirt that's supposed to be worn as an undershirt, then they are often referred to as "wife-beaters" which is a reasonably fitting name if you've watched a few episodes of "COPS".

Clones are cool, but I still like hunting through seeds from guys that do a good job breeding/making crosses. There's always the possibility of finding something really unique that nobody else around me will have.

Have you ever tried ordering from Seedsman? I think they still take credit/debit cards and I'd guess they'd ship to Oz.

How's the generally quality of the weed in your area? Is the commercial market very competitive there? I'm just curious. I was reading some stuff in the Oz/NZ thread on icmag awhile back and the guys were saying pretty much anything decent will move and it's all the same price, whether it's A-grade or mids, but maybe that was in a different part of the country than you.

Ive ordered from the vault, pukkabudz and attitude seedbank. Stuff like gth1 goes between 150 and 200 an ounce. We havt to be carefull what we grow here due to drought and floods. The quality of pot varies. You can have top shelf stuff here and 10 kilometres away its all dirtweed. I think I've created a strain that's drought resistant and mold resistant. Just need a few more seasons to make sure.

I do a fall/winter grow here in NW Florida. This year I lost my veg buddy, so I'm all natural light from the start. Got about an ounce per plant last year, and made some good crosses. The plants this year will not be as big, but I countered that by planting more.

Dang man! 150-200 AUD is pretty cheap. That's like $115-$150 USD. It's about $200/oz where I'm at and in the more country areas and $220-$250 in central, south and west Maui and some people get charged more than that too, but that's pretty average prices.

Droughts and floods too. That's quite the spectrum, ha ha. Do you have clay soil there? If the plants can get established in the ground before the droughts hit can they make it through the drought season? I'd think some of the clay soil I've seen in Oz would be helpful for that.

Das how bu! If you can't win with yield then win with numbers. That's one of my buddies short season strategies even though he still gets decent yields during short season for his setup, but to keep up with demand he throws some extras out.

And since I mentioned prices, how's the commercial prices in your area for ozs/lbs? No need to respond though; I'm just curious. I haven't heard where they're at for Florida in awhile. I think last I heard it was about $3500/lb, but that was awhile ago and prices have been dropping in a lot of areas of the country.

but if you go about 60 kms away its up to 400 an ounce. Yeah this strain only got watered 3 times the whole season then we had 7 weeks of rain and 2 cyclones during flowering it destroyed most of my other strains turning them into rot. Yeah we have a lot of clay up here but plants hate growing in it . I found a creek with the loosest topsoil full of worms and broken down leaves. That's my main growing soil this year . havnt watered my plants in 6 weeks . I'm mainly using 60;litre grow bags and 100 litre holes.

Aloha to all my Hawaii growers out there
New to this site but not to the grow
Currently growing out some beans from Greenpoint Hoping to find some fiya
Got the Coppers and Garlixs right now
Still young but smelly

I took 11 years off from growing and smoking, so I'm out of the loop with local growers. Since they do still put folks in cages for growing flowers here in sunny Florida, I've been flying under the radar.

I have got my buddy to buy me some compressed pot locally, and it goes for 120-140 an ounce, but have got it as cheap as 300 a qp. Not great smoke, but not terrible. I've only bought 3/4 of an ounce 3 times, and maybe a 1/4 another time or two in the three years I've been back growing and smoking. And me being me, I grew out all of them. lol

My south Florida cousin pays 200-250 an oz for New York indoor. {from one of her in-laws} Sorry I'm not more help.

I think I'd be trying to make some friends 60km away if I were there, ha ha!

A buddy of mine just moved back here from Oz and told me there's a pretty crazy hardpan there. It sounds like you found a good spot though. Do you ever grow south east Asian strains? A lot of them can handle rain like champs.

Hey welcome Poidawg! I've got some Greenpoint going ATM too. I've got some Jamoka, Raindance and Purple Badlands that are vegging and I've got probably another 12 or so packs from them to go through eventually. Maverick and Dynamite Diesel will probably be the next ones to hit dirt.

No worries, I was just curious on pricing over there. I used to keep tabs of pricing in different areas of the US a lot more. $250/oz for indoor in FL sounds pretty cheap though. I'm guessing your cousin's in-laws are giving her a deal, but maybe not.

What do you have growing for the winter?

Yeah I have tnr from kc brains. Thailand strain .any sativa strain grows amazing here. I also have Mexican and Columbian Sativa's. The Mexican is pure and the Columbian is crossed with an indica to shorten the flowering cycle. I have golden tiger but its like 17 weeks flowering. Fuck that its to long to flower . I grew the wild Thailand strain but didn't like the results so I cot rid of the strain.
Got some strains from a american grower so I'm testing them out
Critical jack herer
Blue afgoo
Friction
.some don't like the Aussie heat yet the Sativa's love the extreme heat.
