Indoor vs Outdoor
I think indoor grow operations are just simulations of the outdoor conditions, just not as efficient.. I have seen a great deal of indoor operations... From the smallest of grow cabinets to full warehouses running 50,000W light systems... I used to grow indoors when I lived in California, always dreaming of growing outdoors here on the islands...
The only advantage I see to growing indoors is that you are in complete control of the conditions..
The disadvantages are many... but to me, the cost is the biggest problem... you have to offset that cost by growing more ganja... Indoor growers are more inclined to growing high yield crops, which most of us know are typically not as potent as some of the specialty crops, like Og Kush for example...
Scientific evidence shows that you can't replace the Sun's light spectrum, especially for the greater range needed during the flowering stage. People grow indoors because they don't have the same luxury we have here..
Another big issue is the taste of the final product when considering outdoor vs indoor... Most Cali dispensaries can tell you that in November & December, they sell way more outdoor grown bud (that's when most of the long season ganja hits the market) than indoor.... and the quality is worlds apart....... But the rest of the year they need to depend on indoor grown to keep the supply up....

Ditto. If I was legal guarentee I would be outdoors wit you guys. Just to risky outdoors right now. For me anyways. No debate at all about indoor/outdoor quality. But I am no pot snob. I'll smoke anything. That's why cfls do fine for me. I got some new t8s lying around tho. 2800 lumen bulbs. Think it would be better than cfls?

I am no pot snob either 
I have Crohn's Disease and I have to stick with heavier narcotic type smokes to relax my digestive system..
With Crohn's you have a couple clinical interventions for the pain.... you can either get surgery or you can take medications like Pentasa or Lialda whenever you have flareups....
When you get surgery, your digestive system will be screwed up the rest of your life, but the pain dissipates because you no longer have open sores in your intestines.
When I take Pentasa, I get headaches, drymouth, ear ringing (when the headache is present)... When I take Lialda, which is the newer medicine, I don't have side effects that are as intense but the headaches are still common...
When I smoke really strong indica dominant hybrids, especially those that are more couch lock like the Ogs, Bubbas, Chems, and other Kush-based strains, I really get some decent pain relief that makes a difference for me... that's all that counts for me...
But I definitely have to be picky because most strains do not help the pain...

Yeah I still believe growing with water crystals is growing organically. Why shuld a crop grown with plastic stakes for support or in a plastic pot be labeled non-organic.
Nice grows Hawaiians!!!! Every one is doing really well, keep it up, over grow Hawaii!!!
As for me the sour kush I harvested??? People are tripping out! Complaining they can walk after smoking it. Telling me it's the best weed they smoked in forever!!! It's some foreal fire!! I'm trying to reveg the stump to get the strain back

We held the first ASA Oahu meeting on the 13th and the turnout was better than expected. The community needs your help, come to the next meeting on the 27th of Aug at the Waipahu Civic Center, RM 102 from 7-9 PM. There is strength in numbers......
