small update guys and ladies..
the daylight hours are slowly waning and when september comes, HI will be in 12/12 mode outdoors, which basically means if you grow outdoors, your going 12/12 from seed. that's why sativas work better in the winter here. they continue gaining vertical hieght as they flower so you can get a better yield than if you was planting an indica outdoors. but what we normally do is we manipulate the light a little so we can gain some size before flowering.. so planting indicas in HI during short season is cool too.. we just bring the plants out in the morning in thier pots and when the sun goes down, we bring them inside where there is light.....saves on the electric bill.
also if you planted your ladies in the ground, all you would have to do is hook up a light so it shines on the plant after sunset or you could use a flashlight and interrupt the light cycle so it doesn't get straight 12 hrs of darkness.....also winter in HI is some to lots sun, moderate to lots rain, and temps ranging from 60- 80 degrees give or take...unless you live in higher elevations, so in other words, there really is no winter in HI. rain is our snow....
we do tend to fight mold alot though, that's why some strains get a hard time here...
anyways, enough with the chitter chatter, I just wanted to let y'all know that I started germing some beans today gearing up for my next grow...
beans are 2 kali brains, 2 skywalker, a few mystery seeds my good friend gave me, grown outdoors in KAuai, and a few aurora beans as well....also I have the GDP seedling and 2 hijack clones heading into the short season too.....should be an awesome winter
