dont use compost that isnt broken down, they will dig for food. Dont use blood/bone meal among other food-like items. Are u guerilla growing pineapple or something? Also cut up some sharp strait stics about an inch or more in diameter (dried ironwood is perfect for this) and push um down in the ground so the pointy end facing away from yur plants, I do this for my mountain grows and it keeps pigs from digging they dont like to get near the pointy sticks, you need enough of them though not just one or two, plus they can be a real hazard don't trip/fall around the sticks and make sure people dont stumble on it! they are quite dangerous, if made correctly of course, and even if made shittily, still dangerous.

Also, hair/pissing works. getting yur human scent all over everything works, they hate humans and will go away from areas that have human smell...

yes guerilla growing pineapples. i was thinking of doing the stick thing, but how do you drive the stick in to the ground (i'm talking the red clay dirt we got here). do you hammer it down in first, and then sharpen it? thanks for the tips, cause i need to figure this out before i put any plants out. i once put seedlings out and came back to find the snails had devoured them....i learned from that mistake, so want to make sure i got this pig thing figured out :)

yeah the dry hard pack dirt it hard to plow throughm honestly I have always put them in after a rainy day, and in an area with softer dirt (plans growing n shit).

But I suppose you could hammer it in first, then sharpen it, just get the stick at an angle you are comfortable sharpening it with.



honestly though b4 u do that try piss/hair it usually works just fine but there are some persistant pigs that aren't afraid of your piss or your hair or your dogs hair. I am sure there are other methods, try googling boar repellent or something, im sure theres other stuff. Good luck.

Gotta admit tho keystone light does it well for a night drinking with the boys, and keystone ice if your a real man

Hey braddahs, here's a radical video that's definitely worth checking out. I been studying the effects cannabis has on cancer and other ailments and this video goes right along with everything I've been learning. There's been some good studies going on, in other countries mostly, that have been proving that cannabis is almost unarguably the most effective medicinal plant in the world. This video is the reason I decided to start growing.

I can't honestly say I will fully believe everything said in this video, we really need to broaden the frontier of medicinal cannabis research and use. what they said in the beginning about corporations is totally true and a major factor contributing to the fact that MJ is still illegal.

can hemp oil cure cancer? Ill sure as hell be rubbing it on my tumor if I get one, not that I believe it works, but Ill probably get high anyway.


Ginger and turmeric are both good- but take a year or more to get the roots. We try to grow as many veggies as possible in the garden- just having fresh stuff is "medicinal" in my opinion...

I don't really have a yard but do a lot of container gardening. I get some pretty good results using the halfed wine barrels they sell at home depot seasonally. Anything smaller and your limiting root space too much (unless you grow container specific plants)

So far I have had luck in hawaii with eggplants, pole beans, this lettuce variety called anuenue lettuce or something, I forgot, but grows big beautiful heads of crispy lettuce better than that store bought stuff too, great texture/taste, and grows in hawaii weather, best in winter but grows well in summer too. just watch out for that rat lung!

I finally found a decent size tomato that does well here(http://www.reneesgarden.com/seeds/seeds-hm/vegT.htm#toma) scroll down its the "super bush" container tomatoes, really good tasting, nice n sweet, yields tomatoes a good 1.5-2 inchs in girth, however doesn't really grow into a "bush" more like a 1.5-2 ft tree with tomatoes on top, they are not big yeilders but they stay firm on the vine till ripe and dont get attacked by bugs either.

cherry tomatoes always do well in hawaii but I don't find much use for cherries in the kitchen (salads, sauces, snacking not much else)

Other things that do well in our climate *basil, dill, ginger, parsley, oregano, sage, *thyme, *rosemary theres others too. (starred THRIVE in even our native soil and nothing else)



Any1 got anything else? Im pretty novice and have been doing the slow method of trial and error the past few years with gardening.

Just out of curiosity, what other medicinal plants do you guys propagate for you and your family? I like using aloe and noni, and need to use more plants....
noni fruit juice is good stuff, My neighbors used to have a noni tree, would drop choke fruits all over our side of the property, I remember putting em in glass jars and letting them sit in the sun for weeks, yummy juice! LOL

I'm glad you took the time to watch the video. This isn't just the only information like this though. I've been studying this for awhile and it's really amazing how powerful this plant is against disease, especially when taken in oil form, though others forms of ingestion are beneficial too for others symptoms, i.e. smoking. Here's another video, that's radical too, among many other videos and reports. This one is only 15 minutes long.

This information isn't hidden or anything, it's just unknown by the vast majority of the population. I wonder why? Maybe big pharma, Monsonto, DuPont, the cotton, wood and paper industries? I think it's all of the above.

Anyway, I hope you get a chance to check this one out also.

Also, I saw awhile back that some guys were wondering who they could get seeds from without signing. I got mine from Herbies Headshop pick and mix and didn't have to sign for them. They also had them in the mail in one or two days. It took a total of 12 days to get them, I think. They were also cheaper than The Attitude by $20 and I thought they sent it pretty darn discreet. You got to select the "Discreet Shipping" option fyi. And I got 5 free Big Bud seeds for my order.

What do you guys know about a Hawaii strain called Elephant, or Elephant Bud? its supposed to have started in hawaii like 20 years ago and be super super potent. As the guy who gave me the clones said "Brah, you goin see smurfs."

right now we don't know much about MJ's medicinal and industrial use thanks to those cases in the 1930's making MJ illegal. I bet if hemp were never made illegal, history would be wayyy different. Hemp's industrial use would have radically changed the way our society has evolved, from the use of its fibers, to the use of its seeds for fuel, I read somewhere about how hemp seeds can be used to make even better fuel than gasoline, at the same price or less, imagine that, a US economy not dependent of foreign energy. Imagine how much of this stuff we would have figured out by now if it weren't made illegal back then.

look at what the old guy said in the video, that the government (with the help of corporations of course) has created the biggest genocide in history from keeping cannabis from us all this time, and its probably true, we would have cured cancer by now if we had 80 years of research into MMJ. I am pretty positive of marijuana's cancer killing effects, it is probably the result of a mix of cannabinoids, imagine if we could get just the right mixture of cannabinoids for curing cancer, cancer wouldn't even be a problem anymore. If MJ shows promising effects for curing cancer now, when we really learn to ssynthesize and seperate all the different cannabinoids, we will be making super drugs.

yeah herbies is legit, but I think the freebies are lame. I like gypsy nirvanas freebies, they dont give you just one like attitude, but as 10 pack of cool genetics like skunkman. BTW seed boutique doesnt req. signing, I have had 3 orders from them successful so far.
