your am sun is enough. Have you grown autoflower strains before? You know basically all you need is a deep pot and B-1. But don't expect anything more than say a quarter ounce per plant of dried buds. To me autoflower strains are a novelty, or good for college kids and highrise livers.

12/31/11... and the initial letter from the state expired 11/17....so for a month I was in the gray area of the law...It seems if the state knows they are 3 month behind in processing the applications they should make the initial letter expire on the same date you get the blue card. If you call The Dept of Narcotics they’ll tell you they are a month when in fact they know they are 3 months behind....what’s the point of lying about it?

the worst part of it all. You'd think the cheap bastards could at least give us a nice lamanated card with picture & state seal. How much did you have to pay on Oahu for your visit to Doctor to get your recommendation? I've paid $150.00 I believe each of the past four years. That's $600.00 over four years to have to have the 'Dept. of Public Safety', fly their "ghetto birds" directly over my property each and ever time they fly their "S & S missions". They use to never buzz my property until I started to register as a medical cannabis patient. I guess they feel I'm free game now? They assume we all are I guess. Lucky you bastards that get to grow inside your highrises!!! You only have to worry about your thermal footprint.

I'm getting old,..very old! Perhaps it's time I start kicking up dirt around county building and/or mayor's office with regard to their interpitation of "Lowest priorty of law". Because flying three times a week on Big Island is hardly making cannabis a low priorty in the eyes of the public. I'd imagine it would be pretty hard to explain their action in a court of law too?

maui do you plant in march from straight seeds or do you start them indoors before march and put the out????how big do they get???

i just set my babies outside from start to finish. they usually get to about 1-1.5 feet tall before they start to flower and over the past 2 seasons ive been growing, my first season i had 1 plant produce 17 ounces (remember everything was started outdoors) which i was more than happy with haha and the next season got 3 hermaphrodites that i grew for hash that would have produced a total of 2-2.5 lbs of dried green if they werent covered in damn seeds. made some great hash tho. first pic is 2 seasons ago, the next 2 are the 3 plants i grew last summer.

welcome back man , hope you had a good trip there MC ....i just pinched off the top of my outdoor medusa buds , something i regreted in their final week of flower ( 11 )
but ...looking left over my shoulder at the the new PVC domes ,as discarded them as offerings to the wind ... i knew dam good and well that they will prevent this in the future .
in other words , i think they may have been dampened a tinge by rain and encouraged by humidity ....that MOLD my brother is a game we ourselves can manage daily with shelter and good air circulation.....good luck with the rest of the crop . ...Pepper

thanks pep the vaca was exactly what i needed. been kinda stressed recently. anyways thanks for the advice and ive decided to do a little experiment and throw my plant with the worst mold problem out of the make shift greenhouse and see if does any good. although that brown stuff sure does move fast through the buds. ive noticed that it moves with lots of little spores that fly off the plant as i pick the moldy buds off. damn stuff is terrible at my altitude. thanks for the advice and have a good one

"Lowest priorty of law". Because flying three times a week on Big Island is hardly making cannabis a low priorty in the eyes of the public.

See puna the only reason they are flying 3X a week is because our federal government is funding that.

Do you know just exactly how much is costs to keep a helicopter running.flying around? Ever wonder why helicopter tours cost about $200 a peice?? it because it costs A LOT of money to keep helis flying, maintenance, pilot/spotter salary (Big one), training for pilots, GASOLINE (in hawaii!?!!!? jet fuel in HI, costs... A SHITLOAD).
Now think about all of that, x25 or so. Id GUESSTIMATE thats about how many active copters they have flying around on a weekly basis.(can anyone verify just how many copters we got working for green harvest?)

In essence, I bet the FEDS are putting MILLIONS into operating green harvest in Hawaii alone. It is such a shame that those precious resources go to waste looking for plants when they could go into education, or our rail program, its a shame really. its such a fucking waste, legalize it.


EDIT: @ maui chronic:

mold sucks man, its the bane of all hawaii growers. If hawaii didnt have mold (humid), we could grow the best indicas in the world. Same goes with all high humidity environments. I wish I could grow some indica strains in HI, but it seems like they just dont do well here, they usually always mold, if they resist mold, then they get killed by pests! it sucks

I paid the Dr. $175 for the office visit. "highrises".....LOL...I'm a outdoor grower...."thermal footprint"....i dont have that problem either i use a two bulb T-12 for vegging ....and sofar i haven't been buzzed but i'm sure i will one of these days

 

[Cooter@666]

Here are some "Silver Haze" about a month into veg

 

[Cooter@666]

Nirvana's Feminized "Papaya"....11 days from seed.

 

[Cooter@666]

I also have some of Nirvana's Black Berry, Bubblicious, and AK-48 (all seeds are feminized) that will go into my rotation. I will be sprouting them throughout the year….fbd right?…lol

 

[Cooter@666]

Here are some of what i have flowering right now (2) WW/Afgani and (2) Mystery bag seed plants. Man the photoperiod between Nov and Jan have been brutal on these little fuckers.....and the past few storms weren’t that good form the either......but they still seem to manage... so i can't really complain.

 

[grassified]

those look like soom good half 0 plants there cooter. I oughtta take pix of mine tomorrow, they look like yurs but even smaller hahaha.

 

[BIGISLANDGROWN808]

watsup guys take a look at my girl going strong

 

[BIGISLANDGROWN808]

heres more girls just started flowering same strain as last pic both clones



this plants was topped then TIED DOWN FOR A COUPLE WEEKS

 

[Townside]

eh locals, I'm new to the forums here and this is going to be my first time, but anybody know some place where I can grow outdoors, I was thinking tantalus somewhere but I dunno. I live in waikiki and indoor is not an option. mahalos

words to the wise. When dealing with Nirvana, walk lightly. You can count all their strains on one hand that are any good. Papaya,AK-48,..plus they have a pure indica too. Which I'm drawing a blank right now. But anyway. These guys are real assholes in the seedbank industry in Amsterdam. That is why getting your genetics from Cali is the best situation in my opinion. As a matter of fact. The very last time I got hemorphites it was from their 'Blackberry' & 'Black Jack' strains. Right then I decided, FUCK NIRVANA!!!!

Do you doubt what I say about Oahu mostly being an island of Indoor/highrise growers? I would be willing to bet that Oahu has less than 50 full-time growers there,and I know of at least 5ive of them myself. When I say full-time growers. I'm not talking about individuals who grow the legal limit on the side of their house. That is more like being a Hobbyist if you ask me. I truly question the overall dedication to this plant and it's future within our culture in da islands.

Brah, next time it rains take the ladies inside your place! What part of Oahu do you live? Over the past two weeks 'Powdery Mildew', has raised her ugly face once again on Big Island!?!? Have you checked your plants for PM? tay on top of it!

e komo mai brah! First off. only grow in Tantalus if you plan on sharing eend product. Grow there and your plants are gone. I look for a spot on top of a ridge if I were you. Why no indoor action? You still at home with the folks? Because ultimately it's best to put starters under a flo setup. Either way, good luck my friend'
