Awesome. Its almost as if I become one with the woods when I am out there. Id say if you were to pick a place in the U.S. most similar to Hawaiis winter it would be South Florida. Hawaii is lower on the equator and doesnt get the random cold front like we do here. It can be 80 degrees at 2pm and hit 45 by 9pm. There isnt many many cold fronts like that during the winter but it can happen. Winter is in general windy here with the sun a little lower on the horizon than Hawaii. Hawaii has trade winds to deal with, although the summer months the trade winds are much more prominent. Its almost as if the RH does not get below 70% here year round and id say that\s the worst part. I live right next to the ocean and especially if there is an East wind. There are no hurricanes during the winter but the storms that boundary cold fronts can be very powerful producing tornadoes. One hurrican in the summer months and kiss your plants goodbye period. I fear the hurricanes the most, They are the most powerfull freak of nature I have ever experienced. Kiss your plants goodbye every time.

- I am waiting on my ph tester which will be in the mail today
- The seeds will go in pots after I make a ph test on my seedling mix.

My Seedling Mix
1220121113.jpg1220121105.jpg
-Basic Non Nuted Potting Soil (sifted finely) 25%
-Jiffy Organics Seed Starting Mix 5%
-Compost and Manure 3%
-Fox Farm Ocean Forest 33%
-Perlite

-I sift the Potting soil to rid the bark and stuff I don't want.

-Seeing that I use MG perlite it is treated with nutrients, I don't like MG at all so I pre-soak and drain the perlite. Say what you want about this but no matter how trace nutrients are in the MG perlite I don't like MG at all.

-After I mix all together very very well.

rinse it good and should be fine, i look for organic perilite. i didnt rinse mine at all, ended up flushing and it wasnt enough and burned em even more. they ended up giving me some nice buds but ill stay away from MG products..I wont bash them they just arent for me

oh and why sift out the wood in the soil? in my opinion i think it helps retain moisture and help drainage. also gives a carbon base for micro's to nom nom on granted for the mass of the wood theres not much surface area but i have never found it to be a problem and with the price of soil a little filler isnt too bad in my opinion

I only sifted from the potting soil. I kept all the bark from the OF. I also added a bunch of peat. I dont mind the bark later on but bark is acidic.

Nice LST on the basil. :)

Hope the grow turns out good. I plan to have some clones ready for outside this spring too.
