Hawaii Growers

[doctorD]

Thanks for the advice sheckster. I like the seed idea and most clubs are starting to carry swerves genetics for pretty cheap. Quick question for med patients out in hawaii, How hard is it to get a docs recommendation? I'm wondering if i will qualify with my current medical conditions(anxiety, IBS). Can anyone recommend a good doc in maui?

I just got my card and it was really no trouble at all. I have had a few back surgeries in the past but havent seen a doctor for it for 10 years. I just showed the doc my old paper work. told him ive been taking vicoden but I cont do much else on it. He had a few questions and looked at my back for a min. and I think the most important thing I told him is that without mj my quality of life suffers. He took my pic gave me a temp card and sent me on my way. just get a note from your doctor stating you have the anxioty and such. Good kuck

It says the Auto Ak-47 is an F1 hybrid, so from breeding the F1's.Maybe a 1/4 of the F2's will show the auto trait?Then pick the best of that 1/4 of F2's to backcross with another F1? Then inbreed that stock?

Thanks again for all the help Random! All this F1,F2,F420 stuff along with this Haze I'm smoking is giving me a wonderful MindF@#$!!!!

aloha brother, i highly suggest reading the book "Marijuana Botany" by Robert Connell Clarke

it will teach you all you want to know and more !

ok i got a question. i dont want to have to water no more then twice a week. as of right now i had a plant in a 2 gal grow bag and it needed watering every week and a half. im growing in the ground with sungrow mix4 mixed all up 1 to 1 with the dirt from the holes that were dug i also used pre soaked polmer crystals and mixed it in there as well. i was thinking of putting black plastic over the hole and planting in the middle. (like how the farmers use for weed controle and irragation)the reason is to hold moisture, i wuld also leave space around the stem base to water and fertalize i wuld also spred dirt over the plastic to hide it from the sky.

is this for any reason not a good idea??? 3 weeks with out watering wuld be prime!! i might have to do a 15 gal watering tank with auto timer but it wuld be nuts getting it up there.

aloha I have been away for a while but thing are great I harvested my little L3 a few weeks ago form a old school batch of seed i had. Its some of the best I have grow and it also a great smoke. I also bought a new batch of seed from attitude seeds and they came fast. I got some maui skunk cross and a hawaiian outdoors and some big bang feminized, they also gave me some free seeds like a F-1 skunk and thai skunk fem. here are a few pics first of the L-3 and my flower closet and then some of the seeds. Im going to clone these guys crazy so i let everyone know if I have some extras to trade with.

 

[RandomKindness]

I have Deep Chunk and Sour Diesel that are pretty nice, the deep chunk is fully purpling which i havent seen alot in the environment i grow in. I would like to make clones or cuttings and offer them to Med patients for free, we need to get a safe co-op going, lets get on it folks, have a meeting where everyone brings their cards

for the past month or so I havent had to water my plants once with this great rain we have been having.

I put mulch at the base of my plant, plus I plant directly in the ground, no bags. I find there is more water in the surrounding soil and will replenish the water for your plants (most of the time).

The mulch keeps the water from evaporating out the top.

My plant are doing great btw, just having some damn insect problems! The pistils dont look too good, the tops of them are eaten off. Anybody know what causes this? Or what bug is doing it? maybe mites?

aloha grassified,

i used to mulch but then I slowly realized that mulch wicks moisture from the soil

your plastic idea you posted in your thread would work, but i wouldnt leave anything non-organic in the earth - gotta make sure the aina is good for da keikis

i use a peat moss/vermiculite/perlite mix which i amend with dry and liquid organic ferts, you know its the best consistency when it clumps together when wet yet breaks apart easily, this will ensure aeration and water retention

a trick i used to do is water on the outside of the pot so the roots search for water

all in all, outdoor growing is a fun challenge, with great reward

make sure you plant three plots. one for the rippers, one for the cops, and one for you

aloha,

one of the oldest pest-sprays is a mixture of tobasco/cigarettes/garlic, so you are on the right track

Aloha- The country choppers are terrorizing many neighborhoods right now. (March 16-1They are cruising at treetop level over private backyards in residential subdivisions. This is in spite of the fact that county voters told them we don't want them do that anymore.

Anyone thinking it is easy to grow here is wrong. They are busting people right and left for relatively small grow ops. The private helicopter pilots here cruise in their spare time, and call the cops if they see a plant, so the cops will pay them to fly out and eradicate. The cops and pilots are running a racket, the DA is probably in on it.

Don't come over and try to grow here, it could be a bummer. You are safer wherever you are, especially CA.

sorry to hear that tutu, the popo must be bored. should go hunt moufflan instead

Don't plant in your backyard and pick your spots wisely, this will solve most problems. I'm interested to find out what island you live on?(if u dont mind)

I havent had any bugs eat the pistils but I have had them die back some if I used a spray like a garlic spray or whatever but i really dont think its mites they go after your leaf.

Adding ground cloves works really well, tho it makes everything smell like it. Spray it around your plants and it will deff keep the pest away. I have also been using Safer's liquid soap insectiside. It works well, just don't exceed the recommended amounts.

Yes Random kindness, you are right. Now is the time to be proactive.......we will never catch the big wave if we are not already in the line up.

The mood of the nation is changing, it appears that because of marijuana's medical contributions are becoming more and more successful and in demand that ultimately this will be a health department responsiblity for the public and not criminal. The structure and formulas for growing and distribution in California under prop 215 have allowed many people to start up successful cooperatives, some very nice, first class smoke shops.

California allows a caregiver to grow as many plants needed for any patient that lives within the same city or county. Also as a member of a coopertive each patient can grow for as many patients that are in the club.

Hawaiian grown medicinal products are in high demand in California as well as the rest of the world. Hawaii deserves the opportunity to create safe coopertives and clubs now that the DEA cannot raid anymore. These are new business opportunities that benefit the our local patients, could create new jobs and tax dollars for the state. Join ASA and get involved here in Hawaii.

I am very interested in networking and perhaps starting up a cooperative club that really works. In the interim I think that somehow cardholders who are interested in joining forces should get together, like you suggest. Perhaps Private Messages is best for confidentiality.

We currently are consentrating on medicinal quality grows, our clones are rotating out of veg for harvests every 2-4 weeks.

These are some of the medicinal strains we are currently growing from Holland, that do quite well here.

I prefer the Haze Sativa to relieve the chronic cervical disk pain that I endure daily, wonderful anti imflamatory yet clear headed. We realize how important it is to provide a wide variety of Indica/Sativa blends for each patients needs. It has been clinically proven that Indica properties are more of a sedative and my doctor suggests that I eat the stronger medicine before bedtime for better sleeping etc.

White Rhino, Aurora,Mango,SuperSilverHaze,StrawberryCough, Haley's Comet, WhiteWidow, PurpleWidow, Blueberry, Durban Poison, Malibu skunk, with our males we intend to cross bread with premium local strains. Another exciting Hawaiian developement for commerce.

Lots of lovely clones 6" to 24", I would love to share. PM me Please.
Aloha

i had germed 6 last week, 2 mango, 2 hindu krush, and 2 lowryders. then the rain came. my babies are out side. only one made it,a lowryder. so last night i started a new germ, 4 lowrydrs and 2 hindu k.s. sure love the sun but those 2 days of rain smashed my little green babies before i could bring them inside. because i grow outside and i have no light set-up i lost them. hopefully we won't have rain next week so i can get them going.

I would put the lowrydrs out when the sun is strongest like june then get a harvest in august.
