Hawaii Growers

[Trichy Bastard]

The author of the article you linked seems to give the impression that they are done for now..

"Operation Green Harvest, which ended last week, was a joint effort by the Kauai Police Department, Honolulu Police Department, Maui Police Department, Drug Enforcement Agency, Department of Land and Natural Resources, the state Narcotics Enforcement Division and U.S. Coast Guard."


So are they saying that Big Island police did not participate? That's interesting

Yes, and I hope the mention of foot traps means the bastards got their ankles snapped at... hehehe

okay, GreenHarvest flew on the Big Island about a week ago. Or at least that is when they were in my subdivision. As far as why Big Island cops did not get involved because Big Island raids have to be done by Big Island cops...period. No more shuttling in cops from other counties to here.

Last year some Big Island cops got into it with outer island cops here during the raiding season here. I'm talking "assholes & elbows", fuckers went at it full on. Can you imagine, Greenharvest lowers cops onto your property. Just when you think you're gonna get busted....blam...you look out your window after flushing your stash only to see several cops fighting on your property!? That's what happened here last year. So over zealous cops from Honolulu or Maui decided they wanted to play Rambo here. Against the wishes of local law enforcement because they have family involved in the industry.

Hey Waiakea-
Did you ever get the predatory nematodes? Was it for fungus gnats? How did it work for you?

Silly piggies. Sounds like they could use a joint lol

Hey Puna, you ever grow the Death Strain? My wife is from Puna, and her parents used to grow it all the time... that, and the Puna Budder-- until they got the Widow, that is.

No I didnt get the predatory nematodes. Crop Production Services was the only one that said they could order it for you but it would cost $280. I am going to try and get some this winter when the temperature is low since the high temperature can kill them during shipping. I am just using 100% Neem Oil to control my gnats and other soil dwellers.

Wow LMFAO that is funny the cops were fighting, well even though I am within my legal limit and everything I am still relieved they are done for now, I know all of my comrades are safe for now

All... Thanks for helping me figure out what all these low flying helos are. Would always comment to my wife that I bet they are out looking for weed and low and behold I see LOTS of post about Green Harvest. Unfortunately, I was not aware that there was and "official" named operation on the islands. Feel like I've been under a rock

So, is GH an ongoing operation i.e. 365, all year round or do they mount up around traditional Hawaiian harvest time? Was a little freaked to read in earlier posts that they are using IR to locate indoor grows. I'm a dedicated CFL dude so hoping it's not as obvious as an HPS grow on the helo IRs.

I don't have the "blue card" yet, and frankly, I'm stilling weighing the pros-cons as I'm not thrilled to have my info in a database so these fawkers can make unannounced visits. Plus, don't know if being registered for a "blue card" is compatible with government work. Anyway, thanks for all the updates on GH. Can NOT believe they expend so many resources to hunt for plants on our small islands. Just baffling.

When I weighed the pros and cons I came to realize its better to comply so you sleep at night. A little peace of mind is valuable thing. Knowing i'm legal statewise and legit in my usage I am comfortable learning to grow my own.

I believe cfl's don't crete the ir and they have no technology to seek for them. Since cfl's are a common household bulb it would be hard for them to tell anyway. MH and hps are not your typical indoor lighting, so it's easier to consider it a target. If you google there is at least one article describing how to block the ir from leaking out your house through the windows. I remember there was some styrofoam involved...

They can't see cfls. You're good. Unless you're running like 10,000+ watts. But I think your house would burn down first.

Aloha all! I am planning on growing for my first time this year, it will be a guerilla grow here on maui. It wont be anything big, I only have ten seeds or so. I have hiked through/scouted out several remote areas, however, I am not sure as to what to look for when looking for a grow spot. I figuar the basics would be pretty obviouse (lots of light, near by water source etc..), but what other sources might I take into account?... Consealing my garden with the natural surrounding? Bugs, Pigs, Deer? Soil Ph?

One method I am considering trying is growing in containers in the cane fields. If anybody can share with me there experiences and knowledge, or even other areas where I may consider exploring, please enlighten me!

There's choke guys that grow out in the canefields and plenty of people know it too. If you grow in the cane fields don't be too disappointed if they get ripped. I've known at least one guy who's plants got ripped and I've known guys that go out looking for other peoples plants. It might be fine too though; probably something like the lottery.

Just to let the Puna braddahs know, I just saw yesterday that the Ace Hardware is Keaau is now selling Fox Farm soil (Ocean Forest and the Original) and nutrients; they've got some other brands now too. I think the prices are close to the Garden Exchange prices too, if not the same.

Do you know if that means GH isn't going to be operating on the Big Island for now? Since they're not going to be bringing in cops from other counties and technically B.I. cops aren't funded for GH. I guess the DEA/Feds could still continue though.

Hey Spen, have you considered doin a guerilla grow in the treetops? would help to prevent pigs eating the plants or rippers stealing them...i don't think most people are looking up in the trees when they're tryin to find grows on the ground

 

[i.am.what.i.am]

shit so i've been seein a few gnats flyin around, killed one big one today that was in the soil.....hung up some sticky fly traps, sprayed the plants and soil with neem oil, set out a couple small bowls of apple cider vinegar which i heard helps attract them to drown in.....and now i'm seein these tiny white bugs crawlin around on top of the soil. They're only in the 3 pots that i have clones in and they aren't attacking the foilage (yet), just cruizin around in the dirt, so i sprayed more neem and am thinkin about mosquito dunks if it gets worse, altho i'm not even sure what the hell kind of bug it is. lstd a few more plants and also put some mushroom cakes in their fruiting chambers phew! been a stressful couple of hours...i'm gonna drink some beer or wine now. hope you all have a great friday night and weekend!! ~

The Hilo Ace has a better inventory of Fox Farm soils and nutrients compared to the Keaau Ace.

may I suggest to you folks that love & use Foxfarm to be extra careful. If you use their salts, flush the shit outta your girls. Plus, if you use Foxfarm salts, make sure you don't use 'White Shark" at the same time. Only product from Foxfarm that is organic is , 'Big Bloom', and that is basically just a watered down version of worm castings & bat guano. Anything Foxfarm that has the ingredient "ETBD", I believe it is will kill all forms of micro-beasties that normally are benifical to your grow.

I've given away all my Foxfarm inventory except for 'Big Bloom' & 'Ocean Forrest'. The two only tru organic products Foxfarm offeres up to the public. I know a lot of you are in places were Foxfarm is the best game in town, and in some cases the only game in town. So I suggest that you use it at minimal strength. Plus flush at least every other week the prevent salt build ups in your containers. The roots will love you for it!

I use Foxfarm Ocean Forest and mix with my recycled soil .. and then mix that with generic potting soil... and let it cook for 30 days..
I use Foxfarm Happy Frog with my supersoil mix... I use Big Bloom when I need it but supersoil has the nutes covered so far...

Recycled Soil Mix-
Ocean Forest 7 parts, Recycled supersoil 6 parts, 3 parts potting soil.. Adding dolomite and oyster shell flour to bring down the pH to at least 6...

Supersoil Mix
Roots Organic Soil- 75 cups (1/2 bag)
Recycled Soil Mix- 50 cups
Happy Frog Soil- 50 cups
Worm Castings- 13 cups
Bone Meal- 1 cup
Blood Meal- 1/2 cup
Kelp Meal- 1/2 cup
Dolomite- 1/2 cup
Oyster Shell Flour- 1/4 cup
Green Sand- 1/4 cup
Trace Minerals- 1 tablespoon...
(I know this looks like the Subcool recipe, but I stole it from some dude named Vic who came up with it way before and you can find it on thcfarmer

I haven't had to add anything really except a preventive shot of Big Bloom... and really keep an eye on the pH...


Puna Bud I'm pretty sure that Fox Farms Happy Frog is organic too
